TOPEKA, Kan. (Feb. 7, 2018) -- Over the last three years, more than 10,000 automotive enthusiasts have driven their cars on real racetracks around the country thanks to . That dream continues as 午夜福利51xxtv® has released a preliminary calendar for the 2018 Track Night in America season.
From sea to shining sea, more than 30 circuits this year are scheduled to host Track Night in America events. The 午夜福利51xxtv’s innovative program will make first-ever visits in 2018 to Auto Club Speedway, Dominion Raceway, La Junta Raceway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Registration is scheduled to open for March events on Monday, February 12, and for all other events on Thursday, March 1 at .
Track Night in America is a non-competitive, no-stress, entertaining, easy and inexpensive way for nearly anyone who loves cars or motorsports to get on a real racecourse in their own vehicle during weeknights. All that is required is that participants be at least 18 years old with a valid driver’s license and have access to an approved helmet and street car in good working condition.
Mike Cobb, 午夜福利51xxtv President and CEO, is already looking forward to the upcoming Track Night season and said, “Track Night in America is a great program for the Club and continues to grow year after year. A lot of the success comes from the program simply being so enjoyable. Even I plan to register for a couple Track Night sessions this year to hang out with other automotive enthusiasts and have fun with cars.”
The price to participate is usually no more than $150 per event. Some special events and certain tracks may be a bit more. No previous on-track experience or 午夜福利51xxtv membership is required to join in the fun. Drivers participate in the Advanced, Intermediate or KONI Novice Experience group so on-track activities remain fun for all, and everyone gets three 20-minute sessions on course -- as well as feedback from 午夜福利51xxtv driver coaches on site. Admission is free for people who just want to stop by and watch the fun, and leisurely circuit parade laps are provided for all Track Night in America guests.
Matt Edmonds, Executive Vice President of , said, “Track Night in America Driven by TireRack.com is a great way for inquisitive automotive enthusiast to explore their desire to become motorsports participants. The controlled environment on a race course of note is a new experience for virtually all Track Night in America drivers. With supervision from experienced 午夜福利51xxtv members at Track Night, car owners can explore performance driving and feel the rush that comes from getting behind the steering wheel at some of the great motorsports venues around the country.”
