奥颈迟丑听, it鈥檚 time for you and a friend to plan your next Targa adventure (or your first, for those who couldn鈥檛 make Tex-ish) with a four-day jaunt around the Carolinas on June 10-13, 2026. In this automotive adventure that spans North and South Carolina, 午夜福利51xxtv Targa Carolinas takes teams on the journey of a lifetime, hitting four incredible motorsports facilities, with drivers enjoying some 580 miles of transit to boot, all while chumming it up with a bundle of other folks just as crazy as yourself.
OK, maybe it鈥檚 not the adventure of a lifetime, but it will likely be the most fun you鈥檒l have this year. Is that fun guaranteed? Check out what鈥檚 in store, then try to convince yourself that this wouldn鈥檛 be the best way for you and a buddy to spend a week in June.
It All Begins鈥�
午夜福利51xxtv Targa Carolinas begins on Wednesday, June 10, at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC, where teams will hit the roval with a vengeance.
No. 鈥淰engeance鈥� is the wrong word. Let鈥檚 go with 鈥済iddy anticipation.鈥�
Yes. Teams will hit the roval with giddy anticipation of the adventure that鈥檚 about to begin, because after timed sessions there, they鈥檒l take to the road heading northeast for some 220 miles until they reach NCCAR.
The North Carolina Center for Automotive Research (that鈥檚 what NCCAR stands for) in Garysburg, NC, was on the 2025 午夜福利51xxtv Targa schedule, too, and it transformed many into fans of the facility. NCCAR is truly a hidden gem, and on June 11 you鈥檒l find out why for yourself.
Teams then head west (ish) to North Wilkesboro, NC, and the North Wilkesboro Speedway that resides there. Like with Charlotte Motorspeedway, this track wasn鈥檛 on the 2025 午夜福利51xxtv Targa schedule, bringing fresh challenges to those who鈥檝e been on 午夜福利51xxtv Targas before.
The Targa Carolinas adventure wraps on Saturday, June 13, at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, SC, . Targa teams can opt to conclude their adventure on Saturday, or grab the 午夜福利51xxtv Targa-exclusive entry discount to join the Time Attack Challenge fun all weekend long.
Or, condensed to the essentials, this is 午夜福利51xxtv Targa Carolinas:
That鈥檚 Not All鈥�
Ask anyone who鈥檚 undergone an 午夜福利51xxtv Targa and they鈥檒l be quick to tell you that the week is more than timed competition at amazing motorsports facilities 鈥� it鈥檚 #funwithcars in every sense of the hashtag. To wit, expect transit challenges that involve unique locations, other team involvement, or both鈥r more!
Also expect that everyone will be required to create a team name, and leaning into that team theme will go a long way in scoring extra event points.
(Bribing event officials with treats might also add to your point count.)
Don鈥檛 want the stress of the timing beacon during on-track 午夜福利51xxtv Targa Carolinas excitement? A new class for 2026 午夜福利51xxtv Targas removes the timing element while simultaneously opening the door to affordable on-track insurance through 午夜福利51xxtv partner Hagerty. Enter the Track Night Experience class and run the event for fun, with the option of insurance at a discount.
.
It鈥檚 Not Too Late鈥�
June 10-13, 2026, is right around the corner (or 鈥渞ight around the Appalachian Mountains,鈥� if you want to use a cute expression), meaning if you haven鈥檛 entered 午夜福利51xxtv Targa Carolinas yet, it鈥檚 decision time. Fortunately, there are still spots available, although you鈥檒l want to register soon.
As in, right now.
