Track Day FAQ

When/where can I purchase power?

You can purchase power at the Credential Building outside Gate 2 upon arrival in the afternoon/evening on move-in day, typically the day before the rental begins. Power is reserved on a first-come-first-served basis, but we have plenty! Power cannot be purchased ahead of time.

What type of power is available?

30- and 50-amp. We have 110 outlets and the large 4 prong outlets. Power hookups are available in the Paddock. You must display a valid power permit if you hook up to any power in the Paddock.

How much is power?

Power can be purchased on-site upon arrival at $25 per day with the exception of Sportbike Track Time, which is $35 per day.

How much is camping?

Specific Camping Prices are often set by the Track Day organizer and can range from $25-$50 a night. Please consult with the organization that is running your Track Day for exact prices. Camping is sometimes purchased through the organizer’s website, on-site, or both.

Are there other camping options besides paddock?

Upon request and subject to availability, you may be able to purchase camping in the upper hilltop area, but there are no power, water, or sewer hookups.

When can we move in?

Move-in times vary for each track day. The official move-in time is 7:00 pm, but we often open early around 5:30 pm. For example, if Sportbike Track Time has the track reserved for Saturday and Sunday, move-in should take place around 5:30 or 6:00 pm on Friday night.

How late is the credential building open?

Credential Building hours vary for each track day, but usually it stays open until 9 PM.

What happened if I show up after the credential building closes?

You can park and wait in Lot G until the next morning. We will open the gates around 6:30 - 7:30 AM.

Can I stay in the park Sunday night?

No, the park must be vacated by 7 PM.

Can I stay in Lot G on Sunday night?

There is no guarantee but you can check with the Track Manager or Gate Guard if you wish to stay in Lot G.

Is there power or restrooms in Lot G?

No, there are no restrooms or power in Lot G.

What if I show up early on Friday?

Park in Lot G and/or visit the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum – admission is only $15! If you don’t have a trailer you can park in the Museum parking lot.

Is there a hotel nearby?

There is a Hampton Inn across the street on Rex Lake Rd. Your group probably has a group rate so be sure to ask!

My trailer is 80' long. Is there room for me?

Yes! We will park you on the first tier of the Paddock to the right of Race Control.

Is there a track walk on Friday night?

Usually not. If you’d like to double-check, please contact Dave Long, Track Rental Manager at [email protected].

Can I come in early and watch the Porsche driving experience?

Unfortunately, no. These are private rentals so no one may enter the Park until they’re off track.

Do you have fuel?

Yes! We have 93, 98, and 110 octane Sunoco GT Race Fuel on-site. It is roughly $4/gallon for 93 & roughly $14/gallon for 98 & 110, but these prices fluctuate with the market.
