How is Carolina Motorsports Park?

All the

filled up Barber in October so I am going to have to add a different venue for October. Thinking CMP. How is the pavement, safety etc.

Bump. Has no one road Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP)?

I will neeeeeed one more day before Baa-rber in November. It seems it is here Putnam (fun but been there) or Summit Point (a bit to far to it though)

CMP is a relatively small track...I went a few years back for a NESBA day and I had a good time...it is located in Kershaw, SC which is in BFE!!...It has some tar snakes, not too much in the way of safety fences, tires, etc., but the pavement is smooth with a few bumps...The front straight is kinda short, but the carousel is really nice as well...a couple of high speed sections with some nice switchbacks too....not one of the better tracks I've been too(with the other being VIR!), but it is definitely serviceable! hope you have a good time....

Thanks do you remember if you rode the full track or the west/east?

full track.

First section is open and flowing, second section is tight and corner then straight, corner then straight...

I've been there 3 times I think. I like it, would rather ride VIR for my money, but it's good for a quick fix...

Thanks just need something before November at Baa-rber. Little Talladega is closed for remodel and nothing seems to be on at Road Atlanta. So the next tracks are a bit further. With Putnam and CMP being 8 or less hours. Summit Point, Jennings and VIR are a couple hours further. I could almost do Grattan as easy as VIR, though I might freeze there in October

sheeple, if you can do VIR, it's definitely worth it.......I dunno the schedule for the remainder of the year, so you may to check into that....VIR is awesome...both sections(north and south) are challenging with plenty of elevation changes and the sort....I know it's a good drive for ya, but it'll be worth it.....IMO..

thought they were also down but it is closer than CMP and I could do the Frank Kinsey school.... Darn seems like it is on Monday always

Doesn't seem to be to many opportunities there this fall.
