Get gas before you get inside the track. There is a shell station about 1/4 mile from the track. There are pumps at the track but they sell high test only at about $5-$6 a gallon and they are not guaranteed to be open.

Take I95 all the way, then i393 from Concord to rt106 to the track. Signposted from Concord so you cannot miss it.

You will pit in the indoor garages. Bring water and a cooler!!! Tonystrackdays supplies water but most others do NOT.

There is power for tire warmers and fans and you do not have to pay.

There is NO gate fee for track day attendees and visitors.
Who is runnign the track day?

track day prep


You CAN pit in the garages... but if the track day is full and you get there late, you will probably end up out on the pavement in the parking lot. Plan on getting there super early to get a good spot IN the garage. If you are going to be late, bring some sort of portable shade for yourself.

tony provides gatorade and water... but neither are going to be cold. either take a cooler with ice or bring your own cold stuff...

No, don't do that. That won't work. You need to take Rt. 93 to Rt. 393.

Actually... if it were myself and I was coming up on a weekday morning... i would take:
95-North to 495-North to 3-North to 93-North to 393-East to 106-North

Don't worry about saying who you're going to the track with. Just don't post it as an advertisement, that's all. We have an exclusive deal with Tony so it isn't fair to really push other people's track days.
