what are the nearest tracks that have track days near Arkansas? trying to get my EVO prepped for next season.

 

Centerville is probably the best one I know of. It is only a 1k foot though..... Other than that I have traveled to Memphis to their 1/4.... Track prep wasn't awesome though.

Everything else in Ar seems to be 1/8mile

 

my bad, i guess i shouldve specified, i mean like road course/ circuit tracks.

 

Hallett or Memphis Motorsports Park (if it's still open) is your closest, round 2 hours away when I was in Bentonville. Nasa has a new Central and Mid-South regions that would be perfect for you. Invest well in the truck/trailer as you'll be towing quite a few miles .

 

How do you like Hallett? Ive checked it out online but never been. Got any recomendations for a decent trailer?

 

Plenty of trailers in that area, make sure you have brakes on both axles regardless of open or enclosed and a brake controller. There's a recent thread on towing so check that out for ideas. Hallett is fun as hell, lots of elevation and off camber turns (aka don't skimp on brakes). If you don't reserve or get there early enough for a covered/paved spot (only a handful) bring what you need to pit in the grass. A pit bike is also handy there.

 

thanks for the trailer input big time. what do you recommend bringing in a general track day pit kit? ive done plenty of scca races but am a noob to track days.

 

Lots of general lists online to google because everyone's different in that area, basically what you already bring but plan for a whole weekend rather then 1 afternoon. Food, drinks, shade, tools to fix anything, jackstands, jack, etc. You can camp at Hallett or there's a few shady hotels nearby.

 

im gunna plan on just camping lol no nasty motel beds for me please. a tent a cot and sleeping bag added to the list!
