All guests must check-in first with Xtreme Xperience. During check-in guests sign two waivers 1 and provide a valid driver’s license to XX staff. Check-in time window is between 15 to 30 minutes. After checking-in with Xtreme Xperience guests are directed to the hosting company’s private meeting space. Depending on the racetrack the space will either be a garage, event center classroom, tower suite or hospitality tent. Each space comes with tables, chairs, linens, and 2 AV for any presentation needs. The majority of groups use the space for either a sit-down meal and/or presentation to their guests. 1 Hour is standard but that can be easily adjusted All guests who plan to drive must attend the driver’s briefing. It covers everything from adjusting your seat in a Ferrari to how to drive smoothly in turn 7. Briefing takes 20 to 25 minutes. Once the briefing is complete 3 guests will receive their driving credentials and head to pit lane. In pit lane guests will be given a head sock and directed to the line of the car they will be driving. Once at the front of the line the guest will be fitted with a helmet and directed to their SUPERCAR. Depending 4 on the group’s package, guests may drive multiple times. Track time ranges from ½ hour to 4 hours. The last stop of the day for guests is back at the check-in trailer. Here guests will receive their printed photo(s) and can view a USB 5 of their driving xperience. This will conclude the outing, unless more meeting time has been arranged in the private meeting space.

  • American Road Courses
    American Road Courses Road America Watkins Glen Meadowdale Laguna Seca Westwood Riverside Mid Ohio Every Road Course Daytona of Past and Present in the United States Mosport and Canada Sebring Barber Miller Rob Semmeling American Road Courses Page 2 Introduction This file lists all permanentpaved road courses - i.e. non-oval racing circuits - in the United States and Canada. In most cases, 'permanent' is synonymous with 'purpose-built'. However, some circuits were not purpose-built but actually started out as tempo- rary courses. Florida's Sebring International Raceway, for example, was originally a temporary airfield course, laid out over the runways of Hendricks Field. Likewise, Portland International Raceway in Oregon evolved from a street course. Both circuits are nowadays permanent facilities. The starting point for this list was the 2003 edition of Allan Brown's book "A History of America's Speedways: Past & Present". This is an indispensable reference work for which Allan cannot be praised enough. However, in the book the road courses are a bit buried between the vast number of ovals. Listing them separately gives a better overview. Also, I found the information in the book is not always accurate. It is an excellent basis for further research but the data should be treated with great care. I have done my best to present the most correct and accurate info in this file, although there may well be errors here and there. In general, there are three main types of American road courses. The most interesting are the 'pure' road courses which were built specifically for road racing.

  • New Orleans Ranks 12Th Among U.S. Cities for Infrastructure Jobs, Report Finds
    New Orleans ranks 12th among U.S. cities for infrastructure jobs, report finds TED JACKSON / THE TIMES-PICAYUNEThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredge Wheeler works near head of passes in the lower Mississippi River, along with 5 other dredges keeping the channel open for shipping traffic, Tuesday, March 20, 2012. In the foreground is a river pilot boat headed downriver (and past the Wheeler) to pilot town. Print By Katherine Sayre, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune Email the author | Follow on Twitter on May 09, 2014 at 7:20 AM, updated May 09, 2014 at 7:21 AM Workers operating refineries, engineering bridges, hauling containers and performing other labor focused on the nation's infrastructure make up nearly 13 percent of the New Orleans metro area workforce, one of the highest rates of infrastructure jobs in the country, according to a report released Friday. In total, infrastructure jobs -- defined as supporting the nation's assets in energy, trade, transportation, public works and other sectors -- make up 11 percent of the U.S. workforce, more than previously thought, according to the report from The Brookings Institution. Over the next decade, infrastructure jobs will grow by more than 9 percent, the report said, and 2.7 million workers will be needed to fill open positions from turnover and aging workers retiring. Researchers with Brookings' Metropolitan Policy Program took stock of the nation's infrastructure jobs, defining 95 occupations in 42 industries from civil engineers and urban planners to river pilots and and petroleum pump operators, calling it the first report of its kind.

The Andretti Autosport driver had a 2.312-second advantage over the No. 2 Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing car driven by Patrick McKenna of Dublin, Ireland at the checkered.

  • Spotter Guide
    FAST FACT On average, Firestone supplies more than 15,500 race tires for each Verizon IndyCar Series season. Stacked on top of each other, those race tires would stand taller than 10 Empire State Buildings. Champagne spray fills the air as CFH Racing’s Josef Newgarden celebrates his first career Verizon IndyCar Series victory at Barber Motorsports Park on April 26. Shawn Gritzmacher/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: SIMON LOOKS TO REPEAT: The Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis will be the second Indy car event conducted on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2.439-mile road course. Can Simon Pagenaud (right), who won the inaugural Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis in 2014, pick up his first win with Team Penske in defense of last year’s race win? FOUR WINNERS IN FOUR RACES: There have been four different winners in the four races thus far in 2015: Juan Pablo Montoya (Streets of St. Petersburg), James Hinchcliffe (NOLA Motorsports Park), Scott Dixon (Streets of Long Beach) and Josef Newgarden (Barber Motorsports Park). In 2014, there were a record-tying 11 different race winners. Will this weekend see the fifth winner of the season? PENSKE ON POLE IN 2015: Drivers from Team Penske are the only drivers to start from pole position in 2015. Helio Castroneves (Long Beach and Barber) and Will Power (St. Petersburg) earned Verizon P1 Awards through knockout qualifying. Juan Pablo Montoya started on pole at NOLA by virtue of leading the point standings entering that race. Can Penske continue its dominance in qualifying? FIVE STRIVE FOR IMS DOUBLE: Five drivers have a chance to become the first driver to win on both the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s road course and the famed 2.5-mile oval: Ryan Hunter-Reay, Tony Kanaan, Scott Dixon, Helio Castroneves and Juan Pablo Montoya have all won the Indianapolis 500.

  • Remarks Chicago Region RE, Rick Bentson July 1, 2016
    REmarks Chicago Region RE, Rick Bentson July 1, 2016 What a month June has been! The first 9 days of the month were the calm before the storm of events. Beginning June 10 things got real with 44 cars taking to the track at our PDX Track Day event at Autobahn Country Club. Yours truly served as Chief Steward, with an assist from George Laws so I could exit early to get some sleep before getting up at half-past-the- middle-of-the-night for the drive to Blackhawk Farms, timed to arrive in time for the morning Worker meeting to work corners for the Milwaukee/Blackhawk Valley regions Double Divisional race weekend. This would be weekend one of the June Triple Header of race weekends. Following the Blackhawk Farms weekend, the 61st running of the Chicago Region June Sprints at Road America greeted 308 entries with great weather (unlike last year, which featured 3 days of rain) and 3 days of very competitive racing, including 67 Spec Racer Fords! As an added bonus for the spectators in attendance the Battery Tender Mazda MX-5 Cup pro series was included on the weekend’s schedule, bringing an additional 42 cars and their own brand of great racing. As a Jack-of-all-Trades of sorts for the weekend I had the pleasure of being able to experience the many flavors of the June Sprints and I gotta tell ya, I couldn’t be more proud of the event we put on! From Registration, to Tech (with free soft-serve ice cream for drivers, crew and anyone else who stops by!), to the amazing job done by the combined Road America/SCCA crew in Race Control, to the best corner marshalling crew in the country (a bit of personal bias there, I admit, but I don’t think I’m wrong), to the best, and I mean the BEST podium ceremony in all of amateur racing.
