Track Day at Nelson Ledges
NPM participants will be able to track at Nelson Ledges on Friday. Nelson Ledges is a 1.5 mile track with 13 curves all with their own character and technical aspects. Nelson Ledges is considered a fast track giving our members the ability to test their ability to hold grip in a controlled manner.
Participants can pick one of three groups to take the track in depending on their experience. However, if at anytime one feels they need to change to a slower or faster group, they may do so at the next turn. The following group list is the recommended classing of experience, however each driver is at their own discretion. Other factors such as capability of vehicle, etc may influence group classification.
Group A - Advanced - has multiple experiences on road courses including Nelson Ledges.
Group B - Intermediate - has had some experience on road courses, not including Nelson Ledges.
Group C - Novice - has had no experience on road courses in the past.
Gates open at 8am and close at 5pm. NPM will be using all of that time so be sure to up and ready on Friday morning.
