Carlisle Registration is now closed!
If you want to participate but have not yet signed up, you can still join us. Non-registered participants are subject to a one-time $25 fee per driver, good for the entire weekend. Just come to the NICOFest tent at the Fairgrounds and sign up.
Some reminders for you:
Please make sure you look over your car before coming. Please review the tech requirements listed on page 1 of this thread. They're not difficult, but that is what we’ll be looking for. It would be a shame to not be able to run because of something minor.
There will be early bird tech/check in Friday afternoon at the Holiday Inn Mechanicsburg, 5301 Carlisle Pike, (approx 3pm-6pm). Saturday tech/check in will begin about 8am, and the track will begin (assuming we have corner worker volunteers in place) at 9am.
The track will be running rain or shine, though we will stop temporarily in the event of a thunderstorm, and resume the schedule once it passes. There is a large NICOfest tent with a limited number of chairs just outside the paddock, but there is no shade/rain protection in the paddock. I would recommend bringing lawn chairs/canopies if you have them and have room to bring them.
Below is the preliminary track schedule, subject to change...For Carlisle veterans, it's fairly close to last year's schedule.
Saturday (5/8)
9-11 Autocross
11-12 Drift
12-1:30 Autocross
1:30-2:30 Drift
2:30-4 Autocross
4-5 Drift
5-6 Autocross
6 Greg/Bex ceremony
Sunday (5/9)
9-11:30 Autocross*
11:30-1 Drift*
1-2 Autocross
2-3 Drift
3-4 Autocross
*Carlisle is officially advertising drifting at noon Sunday, but we plan to start drifting a little earlier on Sunday.
Since autocrossers are on track first on Saturday, to maximize your track time, I would advise autocrossers to try to get checked in/teched on Friday afternoon (3pm-6pm or so) at the Holiday Inn Mechanicsburg. If you do that, you can bypass the line by showing your NICO pitpass wristband and drive right into the paddock.
We will also need corner worker volunteers at 0900 so we can get started on time.
That’s about it. Thank you signing up and we all look forward to seeing you there.
