And the turn out and generosity of Spartanburg & Greenville people
was amazing despite it being freezing cold!!
Well... We decided to host another winter cruise-in,
this year we teamed up with the US Marine Corps to host Toys for Tots
event. Help collect toys for less fortunate children for Christmas.
If you’re already out at Westgate Cruising, this will give you a place
To park and chill, and not get ran off by police/security.
All Makes and Models Welcome! Bikes Too!
All we ask for in return is you bring a new toy with you.
It can be A $3.00 Lego or My Lil Pony if that’s all you can afford.
Anything is better than nothing to an unprivileged child on xmas day.
Open your heart, and come out and help us make this another
great event!!
Sears Auto Center, Westgate Mall Spartanburg SC
November 21st 6.00pm till 10-11pm
We hope to see you all there!!

I have posted up trackdays here before and had a few local members showed up. Gaineville is the PERFECT track for an elise. :D
Just email CMS directly with questions or to sign up.
Here is the original post: Circuit Motorsports Invites You To Our Central FL / Gainesville Trackday! - NASIOC
The post:
Circuit Motorsports is putting on a Track Day at the Gainesville Raceway Roadcourse. The date that has been set and reserved for Saturday December 5th, from 9am-5pm. There are 19 total slots available, we have capped the number of drivers to 20, to keep costs down and allow for each driver to get maximum seat time. Last trackday we had almost an hour left of track time but everyone was too tired, you get your money's worth!
It is an open trackday, which means we have the track all to ourselves from 9-5. 8 full hours of track time for 20 people, which equates to roughly 90 minutes of seat time per person. This is based on having 4 people on track at a time, running about 15 minute sessions. This has worked out very well in the past and everyone had more than enough time on the track. We keep it very casual and relaxed, not set run groups. Just line up in the pit lane when you want to run, and when there is an opening the safety steward will let you on the track. You can run as many laps at a time as you'd like, but to be courteous, try to keep it around 15 minutes each time (session). This will allow everyone to get out there and more importantly will allow your car and yourself to cool down and recharge.
I have posted the track layout below. The red line and arrows indicates the course layout we will be following. The dark blue line indicates the pit lane where cars will line up to get pointed onto the track. The light blue line indicates where you can park your car when you are taking a break/waiting. The yellow arrows indicate the pit lane exit onto the raceway and the pit lane entrance off of the raceway. The grass to either side of pit lane will be where you can setup chairs, tents, cooler, tarps, tools and relax.
Keeping the pits in the middle also allows us to have fun and watch, as pitting on the south-west side puts the trees in the way of the track, and doesn't make it very fun to watch when not driving. We have never had any safety issues in the past pitting in the middle, and we hope to keep it that way. We ask everyone to drive safely and within their limits, it's not a timed event, so just have fun!
The track will have insurance paid for the day and we will have EMTs on site, just in case. There will be safety stewards and workers out there to make sure everyone is operating safely. You are welcome to bring a small tarp or tent to stay shaded and I would highly recommend bringing some snacks, beverages and lunch. As there are no concessions on site and the closest restaurant is quite a good distance away. Since we are using the center of the track as our pits you must get there before the running starts at 9AM, otherwise you will have to wait for the cars to stop before being allowed on track. There will be no leaving or entering the track/pits when the track is "hot" (cars running).
You must wear a shirt, long pants, closed toe shoes and have a Snell rated helmet to drive. Also make sure your car is in good runing condition and would pass a safety tech inspection. No passengers will be allowed in vehicle on the track. The general rule is that you go 4 wheels off 3 times and you're done for the day. This is to keep it safe for the other drivers out there. You are welcome to bring any friends who want to attend, they can stay in the pits or within a safe area for pictures.
Cost for the full trackday is $150. Simply email us and give your full name, type of car and if anyone will be accompanying you. I will provide payment information if a slot is available, paypal is preferred. If we get over the 20 quota I will start a standby list. You can contact us at sales@circuitmotorsports.net
There are only 3 weeks until Dec. 5th, So hurry up and get your spot!
