Official GT350 Track Attack Attendance Thread

[sickem]

Those who have already been to the track attack, what time did your day end? They advertise 5pm but I've heard some mention 4pm I believe? I ask because I am trying to see what flight I can book to leave that evening. My available times are only 6pm and 6:45, otherwise I have to stay another night, which is not ideal.

The flight at 6 is quite a bit cheaper, but if the day doesn't end until 5, then an hour is not enough time, especially given it would be rush hour.

Last week our day ended around 430. Probably contingent upon how many people in the group etc. Six is cutting it a little close but 6:45 is probably doable. Let the instructor know at the outset of the day that you have a flight on the earlier side and they will probably put you first in the demo runs etc.

Ours ended about 4:30 also. But it was waiting for all the demo laps to be completed that took awhile.
But I'm not sure you'd be able to leave early anyway. You are driving the car to and from the track, from the racing school garages. And everyone traveled together in a big line. Not sure they'd let you leave alone from the track, travel through the tunnel, and through the streets in between the school and track.
And back at the school you're turning in your racing jumpsuit and helmet to the instructors. And there is where they give you the certificates and your participation trophy.
Book the later flight to be on the safe side.

I was at old mecklenberg brewery (which I highly recommend) by 6:15 which is 30 min away. That’s after driving the cars back, buying merch for my boys and heading back to the hotel and showering.

The smoke pit in Concord. About 10 miles from the hotel. It’s good.

I went there for lunch last Monday. The brisket was on point!

When I went last March I couldn’t find any later flights that I could easily make….stayed another night.
A lot of stress cutting it that close. I’d just plan on staying another night even though not ideal for you.

Thanks everyone for the input! I decided to risk it and fly out at 6:45 haha. I'd rather not have to stay another night and take another day off if I can avoid it. I'm really looking forward to it!

By the way, that bbq looks delicious.

Yeah just let the instructor know at the beginning of the day that you have an early flight. They actually asked this to the audience a few weeks ago.

Anyone going October 12th & 13?

I’ll try the barbecue for sure!

@calduke what was the second place we went to? Smoke Pit, right? Same as referenced above?

That is the BBQ place you want to eat at!
