The Track Times

May 3rd, 2025 | Somebody Stop Me!


Hello Jim,


Brakes only slow you down on track, right? Well, maybe, if you're not using them correctly. This month, Andy Lee "brakes" down some techniques on using your brakes to not just slow you down, but also to reduce your lap time. See what I did there.....

Upcoming Events

Watkins Glen May 12-13 and June 24-25

Our June event at WGI is now open for registration. This event directly follows the iconic 6 Hours of the Glen IMSA race. This event is also followed up with VIR June 29-30. One of the great motorsports vacation opportunities on the Chin calendar.


Presented by 89x Motorsports.

Ozarks International Raceway May 17-18

The first of 2 visits to this epic 19 turn 3.97 mile track. By far the most amazing lap built in the USA in the last decade. A 150 foot elevation difference throughout the lap and 1200 feet elevation change over a single lap. The combination of the elevation change and connecting corners make this track a worthy addition to your bucket list.

PittRace May 24-25

The track once known as BeaverRun was acquired and fully renovated with new pit/paddock/entertainment facilities and a HUGE track upgrade to double the lap length: now 19 turns, 2.9 miles on the combination North/South full course. The first 2 days of your 4 day Memorial Day weekend!


Presented by 89x Motorsports.

Mid-Ohio May 26-27

Well known as a "driver's track" that rewards technical skills over horsepower. The flowing and complex course requires finesse, patience, and courage. Repaved last year the track is now faster and easier on your tires. Pair this with PittRace the 2 days before.


Presented by 89x Motorsports.

VIR June 2-3 and June 29-30

2 Great dates at the legendary VIR. Both of them directly following events at other iconic race tracks. VIR has a well-deserved reputation as one of the best road course venues in N. America. Scenic setting; on-site lodging, dining, and drinking; fantastic track conditions, big elevation changes, and the UPHILL ESSES are just a few of the reasons to love this 3.3 mile, 17-turn lap.


Presented by Quantum Speed Works.

May 31-June 1

Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta has a well-deserved reputation as a daunting lap, with uniquely exciting features. Renowned by drivers world-wide, the dramatic elevation changes and blind corners offer high challenges to drivers.

June 14th. MODIFIED SCHEDULE and Reduced Fees!

Those that live in Florida understand the routine summer weather patterns here can often shorten our track days at Sebring. This year we continue our goal to evolve and are making a change to the schedule for summer Sebring events. This change will take advantage of the cooler morning hours while reducing the risk of being shut down due to lightning. Click here to see the modified schedule. We have also introduced reduced fees for the summer events, passing along the reduced track rental fees. Enjoy.

Modified Schedules at Two events.

Post Event Feedback and implementation.


In an attempt to try something different, we tested a modified schedule at 2 events in March. The Road Atlanta and Barber events had slight adjustments that allowed the first green group session to be split. First out was the Solo Yellow drivers for 30 minutes. Next on track was the Novice drivers for 30 minutes. These groups were combined for the rest of the day. Feedback from the instructors and green group drivers was overly positive. We have implemented this new schedule for all future Road Atlanta events on the calendar. Barber will currently remain unchanged.
