Folks,
I know you're all chomping at the bit to get some info on what we can do for our annual trip down south to ride while it's still cold up here. I have been talking with the people at VIR and Cornerspeed and tried to come up with some ideas.
VIR is getting more and more away from motorcycle events. The facility is almost impossible to get. It is expensive, nearly impossible to get two days together and nothing can be finalized as they may have to move people around for other (more important) clients (BMW, Rolex, CIA etc etc).
I have an idea that I would like to run by you guys to see if this is something that would be viable:
Carolina Motorsports Park
This track is absolutely flat (no elevation changes), and is a mixture of point and shoot straights and sweeping curves. It has virtually NO facilities (it does have bathrooms though). To me it looks like fun and it would be something different for us.
The major upsides to using this facility is that we could get it for an entire weekend at a pretty cheap rate (to be determined, but think $300' ish per person for the weekend if we can get 50-60 riders there). Riders who have not got a race license or done Cornerspeed school before (or want to get their race creditation)would be paying a bit more, maybe $500 for the weekend. Still a very good deal.
The track is 2.235 miles long. it is in Camden, SC. it would be an extra couple of hour's drive I believe.

We would have camping rights overnight. The nearest town with a few hotels is 15 miles away (similar to VIR).

Let me have your opinions. Please limit you answers to a yes or no a this time. Simple questions will be ok, but don't get into seep discussions at this time.
Thanks
