Laps for Charity

Another laps for charity at TMS this weekend.

Easy to do and always lots of really cool cars.

Basically, show up. First come first serve. Clubs and groups arrive early and go first. There will be several clubs there. Mustangs, Corvettes, etc. Some times for things you didn't know had a club.

Enter through the south tunnel entrance, follow the signs or cars into the large parking area on your left in the infield area. It is south of the garages, so as soon as you go up the hill from the tunnel, it is on your left.

Find the official person in line selling tickets.

It is a great car show, if nothing else, but driving on the track is super fun.

About 20 (I think) cars at a time.

Don't pass the pace trucks. You can lay back bit and go faster for a short distance, but you have to watch what the cars in front of and behind you are doing. The pace truck driver may signal you to slow down. They are good if you don't do anything really crazy.

The front stretch dog-leg out of turn 4 is a bit tricky, make sure you give yourself plenty of room and make it as longer curve. Don't follow the lines on the track through the dog-leg. They are for the spectators.

Speeds are 90-100 mph.

All of this is based on years past. If the logistics have changed, it still won't be a problem.

Early is better than late, but there is time to get out of your call and talk or look at the other cars.

Go to the "laps for Charity" website linked above.

Have fun,
