To promote event attendance at NSS this year, we have a few specials: Special #1: A weekend entry is normally $479. For a limited time, purchase an entry for $833 for this event and get an entry to the November event at no charge. Math is hard so we have already figured it out: $479 x 2 events is $958. For attending 2 events, you save $125. Special #2: Garages are normally $99 for the weekend (if you have ever had one, that is a bargain & they are planning upgrades for '26). For a limited time, purchase a garage for $148 for this event and get a garage at the November event at no charge. Again, math is hard so let us do it for you: $99 x 2 events is $198. For purchasing a garage now for both remaining events, you save $50. Click on the 'Parking' option in the top right corner area of the registration page (a picture of the inside of the track should be visible). Click on the highlighted area entitled 'Garages'. Click on 'View Slots'. Choose any open spot. The number after GAR- corresponds to your garage number at the track. The numbers are above the garage doors once you arrive. Any remaining available garages will be purchased through Pam at Registration/Driver Info onsite at the event. The price for these will be $99. What is the catch? There is none. But, we are gambling that you want to attend both remaining events. Now, back to our regular stuff: If you have ever wanted to drive your car in a safe environment on the same track as the NASCAR drivers, here is your chance On site Camping is FREE in the paddock 50 amp electrical hook-up & water available for $99 for the weekend in the RV area- NSS prohibits working on cars in the RV area Pricing is as follows: · $479 for HPDE, TT, or W2W racing until 11:59pm, May 31st · $499 for HPDE, TT, or W2W racing until 11:59pm, June 18th · On-site registration, $519 An event confirmation email with all the details will be sent on Tuesday evening the week of the event Registration options for participants include: · Competition School - you must be approved by Shawn before registering· · Instructor Clinic · TREC Endurance Racing (5 Hour Race Friday afternoon with 3 hour practice before lunch) · Wheel to Wheel Racing · Time Trial · HPDE Intro (Sunday only) – An introduction to track driving · HPDE 1 (novice, with an instructor, passing on the straights w/a point by) · HPDE 2 (intermediate, solo driving, passing on the straights w/a point by) · HPDE 3 (advanced, solo driving, passing anywhere with a point by) · HPDE 4 (advanced, usually for instructors or those w/ 20+ events, passing anywhere with a point by) · Supersize for TT (for racers who also want to participate in Time Trial · Supersize for HPDE (for Time Trial participants or racers who want additional seat time in HPDE) · Garage Rental - Big changes from 2025...let us know if you experience issues with the new parking option · Instructor - NEW for 2026.
