Did you know the track is open any time there’s no scheduled event?
Open practice is a flat-rate, no-time-limit track pass. There’s no timing or the other perks you’d expect from a groomed track and timed practice like our Run Till You’re Done every Friday — just you, the people you bring, and the track. Each racer with a car needs a pass.
