Ride along is no problem. I have to ask the Chief Steward to drop me down to the Novice group for a session to take my daughter and maybe wife for a few laps.

are all 46 spots full?GOT SVT said:
Hello everyone just posting the same information here that I emailed everyone signed up with us for charlotte
Just a few information points:
1. I have attached 1 item here, the MORE Lot Group layout.
2. Our group # is #8, Boss Mustangs Online ( Listed as Grp 8 Boss Online - 46 spaces on map )
3. In addition to the MORE group tag, each participant will have a static cling decal in their credential packet that will provide them access to inside the track (on a first come basis) if they should choose to venture there. If they are able to get inside, the "stay until 5 pm" rule will apply. In the MORE lot they can come and go as they please.
4. MORE group participants will pickup their credentials at a different desk in the registration atrium at the Embassy Suites. That desk will be clearly marked. We will get a MORE mirror hang tag with our group # on it.
Again, I will pass on as much information as i get
Any ?'s, please ask
Looking forward to the celebration and meeting everyone!

Is anyone in Charlotte already?
I am ready! and if someone has room for ride-along on track session I am good to go, complete with helmet and Go-Pro's...
Just let me know...
We have a great spot with #8.. its right near bathrooms and only a short walk to 2 entrances to the track.
There is NO SHADE there, so bring Sunscreen.. That asphalt will be HOT...
Looking forward to seeing everyone... and if we can get a crew together to hit a restaurant or have a BBQ at the house or something I am totally down for that!

Im headed out tonight, Dont you just love this weather?? It was 76 Saturday and snowed here last night in Central IL.
Calling for snow here too starting at 9 and ending around midnight. It's supposed to be 30deg at 10:00 mid morning when I leave, unbelievable. This winter thing has become obnoxiously long.
Heavy rain smack in the middle of our departure window. Leaving MA around 9pm.
Hoping to drive out of it before NY.

Been in Mooresville (Race City) since past Sunday. Great weather sunday and Monday. 85 +. Today some rain and cold front coming in (but for us Canadians from the Great North, it is a cool summer lollll).
Been doing lots of RaceShops, Car museums and Hall of Fame since sunday. Great times and great locations.
You can eat the floor at Penske Racing Team and the Memory Lane museum and NC Auto Racing Hall of Fame are my best so far (All in Mooresville - 24 miles from Charlotte - 77N).
Drove around the Speedway today to visit Backing up Classics and will do Hendrick , Roush Fenway, Richard Petty and Dan Carpenter Repro Mustang tomorrow before picking up our packet at Embassy.
Will be a great time

Like a Boss!
I'm here finally! We are staying st the Wingate about a mile down the road from the track. Dumb question: what is the MORE group & what's so special about it?
The MORE parking closed a month ago. You get preferred parking and the BMO crew has about 50 cars parking together at each event. You also have in and out access all day which you don't have in the inside lot.tyler72 said:
