Topic: Halloween Hooptiefest NHMS garage & test?

Just called NHMS operations at  (603) 783-4931 and they tell me Friday test and garage rentals are handled by Lemons, not by the track? That's unusual.

Does anyone remember how it was last time? Will email Jay and Nick I guess.

Garages are always done by Lemons (at NHMS anyway). There will be an email sent out after the acceptance emails saying they are now available. First come first serve.

$275 per slot. Is NHMS that track where you put two cars into every of these garages? Does anyone remember last year?

Re: Halloween Hooptiefest NHMS garage & test?

Yes, 2 cars per garage at NHMS.

The garages will fit 2 cars, but you by no means have to share them. They rent them out one team to a garage. If you want to share just find a friend, have one team pay, and then split the fee.

Ok, garage question resolved.

Friday test day, what do we know about it?

In the past we've signed up at the track the day of. NH is one of the more expensive test days, they charge per car ($150?) and also another $50 per driver.

Re: Halloween Hooptiefest NHMS garage & test?

I just called NHMS (Loudon) regarding the Friday test track time:

- Sign up and pay at the track the day of event at the track office (registration handled by the track).  No online, early registration, discounts, etc..  (So I guess if it looks like the weather will be lousy on Friday when you arrive, don't bother, and save your money...their loss)
- Cost is $160 for one car and one driver.
- Each additional driver is $50

I guess each driver could drive various cars....if he is on several teams....or the team has several cars...

Kind of pricey?  I am not sure what it usually runs at other tracks....

Thompson was the least expensive that I've seen in the East at $150, including all drivers.  CMP wasn't bad at $250, but with only five sessions of 20 minutes each, time was very limited.  IIRC, NJ was $150 for car and 1 driver and $50 for each additional driver.

For NHMS you get from 9am until probably 4 or 5pm to run on the track on Friday.
