Default Track-day open house Saturday, February 28th

Several area car clubs are hosting a track-day open house at Apex Automotive Engineering in Marlborough, MA on Saturday, February 28th starting at 10:00 am.

Like-minded car enthusiasts will be available to talk about various options for autocross, track days or full-out racing. Representatives from local clubs will be present to help you get started on the road to performance driving with your street car. We'll also have information on car prep and equipment needed to do this in a safe manner.

If you have specific questions or just want to talk cars, come on down.

This is also a perfect opportunity to learn about the combined Driving School/Time Trial that NAAC are doing with COMSCC at Mont-Tremblant. The Time Trial allows the student to "compete" against other students without the risks associated with wheel-to-wheel racing. A time trial is essentially a race against the clock. In a format similar to autocrossing, each participant makes timed runs around the track (with no other cars near them on the track), and these times are compared against other drivers competing in similar types of vehicles. Finishing order is determined by lap times, with the lowest time being the "winner".

To RSVP, please e-mail Lester Seal at lsapex@aol.com .

Directions at http://apexautoeng.com/Contact.htm

The address is:
61 Lacombe St #5
Marlborough, MA 01752
Phone is 508-229-0090

NAAC has partnered with other clubs to co-sponsor a series of events this year. We hope you'll put a few of them on your calendar:

NAAC at NHMS April 13 & 14 (registration now open at http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/0A6AD132-0556-B6E1-49A95B5CB6DDFDEF_ )

NAAC & the New Jersey chapter of ACNA will be at N.J. Motorsport Park's Thunderbolt Raceway on May 16 & 17

NAAC & COMSCC will be at Mont-Tremblant on June 8 & 9 (driving school/time trial)

NAAC &amp; the NJ Chapter of ACNA will be at N.J. Motorsport Park's Lightning Raceway on October 23 thru 25<ul><li><a href="http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/0A6AD132-0556-B6E1-49A95B5CB6DDFDEF_">NHMS registration</a></li></ul>

Default Off to races again, eh?

The only thing I've done is book a room as Calabogie for the NEQ event.
