It certainly won't be a home base like Panoz and Road Atlanta or something, but since it's NC's first true road course, it should be considered our "home track". We've never wanted to keep all our eggs in one basket... we like variety

Like Billy though, there will be plenty of people who always have, and always will consider VIR home. So we'll still plan on hosting two events at VIR, two at High Rock, one at CMP, and we'll continue to rent Rockingham as long as they let us and as long as there is interest/demand for it. Same with Roebling Road, although to be honest, Roebling is falling out of favor with some people in NC for various reasons.

It's very tough to convince people concerned with making money to make anything dedicated to autox, or even drag these days.
It was recently presented to Mr. Wheeler, the idea of a drag strip just north of Charlotte. Think of the number of people in this area that would love a 1/4 track.....shot down because he didn't think it would be profitable enough.
Dude's rich as heeeeallll and still is worried about margins.

VIR has storage along with a couple race shops. also you may want to ck with some local guys about storage. When you coming out this way again?
I have (2) S13s one hatchback and one coupe. I might be picking up a Z33 chassis shortly to build.

Im usually in NC during the holiday seasons when I can find time to get out there, its pretty busy around here with our new website and all our retail customers here so its tough to take time off.
