Event Information:

Classroom Activities and Coaching: Pro coach Lee Carpentier, the owner of Advance Motorsports Inc., will be joining us at this event. He will be conducting classroom sessions as shown on the schedule for Green and Yellow drivers. Lee will also be available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for a very worthwhile fee to solo drivers interested in individual coaching sessions. Contact Lee at 1-631-379-8400 or [email protected] if you would like to get on his dance card in advance.

Sound Limits: The sound limit is 95 decibels on the A scale, as measured at 50 feet from the track edge by track management. Vehicles in violation will not be allowed to continue use of the track without correcting the situation. Any vehicle causing a violation will be immediately black flagged and not allowed back on track until corrective measures have been taken. Any vehicle found to be in violation a third time will be excluded without refund from further participation in the event.

Social: There will be a Wine, Beer and Soda Social when the track day ends on Saturday, followed by a BBQ dinner at 5:30PM or a bit before if they’re ready to serve. Drivers can purchase tickets for family and guests. This time we’ve asked Firefly’s from Marlborough to come and BBQ for us.  Chicken, Ribs and sides, with dessert, are on deck for our menu! Drivers will be able to purchase tickets for family and guests through ClubReg during registration or at the track for $20.00 each.

Carports are open with WiFi, no power. All Garage/Carport Reservations must be made directly through PMP.

If you get crossed up and turn right don’t panic, there’s another Sunoco on Rt 67 about 6 miles down.
