On June 4th and 5th, 2016 the Virginia Section and Apex Track Events will host a High Speed Driving Event on North Carolina’s Center for Automotive Research’s road course. This road course is ideally situated in Garysburg, NC and features a 40 feet wide bi-directional freshly paved road course with a ½ mile straightaway, 11 constant radius turns and large grassy run-off areas. There is no competition for times or trophies but a lot of fun to be had. Virtually any car is fully capable of handling this type of event.

You must have a valid driver's license to attend. You will be able to download a technical inspection form that your personal mechanic will perform before you leave home. All you need to bring is this and a Snell SA2010 or later helmet. We will have a handful of loaner helmets available at a first come, first served basis.

We will have an at track safety inspection at the hotel on Friday night and at the track on Saturday and Sunday morning. (You will only have to get your car teched one time for the weekend so if you get teched on Saturday, you will not have to be re-teched on Sunday.

This event is open to all makes and models and you do not have to be a MBCA club member to participate. There will be a weekend of track time and classroom instruction with 4 to 5 sessions lasting 20-25 minutes per day in a non-timed HPDE set up. Car sharing is allowed with separate registration for each driver. This event is sure to sell out so you should register soon. The price for the two-day weekend event at the race track is $299. And the price for a one day (either Saturday or Sunday) is only $169. Verified Instructors will be able to track for no charge. All we ask is that you help one novice student and one intermediate student. Driving History/Experience will be verified for all Instructors.

We have a block of rooms reserved at the discounted rate of $99 per night. Just call and mention the "Mercedes Benz Club."
