Default Anyone in Charlotte,NC interested in track day?

Just bought RSX-Type S from Hendrick Acura - good guys there. Suggested they may want to investigate having a "Customer Appreciation Day" and invite customers (Acura, BMW, Porsche, Lexus, Honda) out for a driver's ed day. Maybe even get some of their guys from Hendrick racing to give rides and/or instruction at either Lowe's Motor Speedway or Carolina Motorsports Park as a customer promotion.
Don't know what will come of it, but would be a great way to compare all the different cars in a safe environment.
Reply to this post and I'll send comments on to my contacts there to see if we can make this a reality if there is enough interest.

Great to hear such interest! If you know either Kris Beachum or Brian Rice, give them a call and let them know that you heard about this possibility. I think if they get a good response from a number of customers, the chances of Hendrick doing this will be high!

Yeah, Kris is a very good guy. I am sold as a long term customer of his.

Will give him a call today.

Hmm. Wonder if other "Hendrick" dealers would participate? Performance in Chapel Hole is owned by good ol' Ricky.

If only I had known that before I bought the car. Got bad blood with that family

I'm interested if the car isn't in boxes. Need instructors?

I bought my car new from Performance. As dealers go they seem to be good people. The parts guy knows me by name. "Karl, what did you break this time?" Blech.

Although I'm way up in Harrisonburg, VA I'd love to do a track day at Lowe's. Nothing like defending the honor of the against the legions of doom.

I would be willing to instruct in exchange for track-time.
