NPM participants will be able to track at Nelson Ledges on friday. Nelson Ledges is a 1.5 mile track with 13 curves all with their own character and technical aspects. Nelson Ledges is considered a fast track giving our members the ability to test their ability to hold grip in a controlled manner.
Participants can pick one of three groups to take the track in depending on their experience. However, if at anytime one feels they need to change to a slower or faster group, they may do so at the next turn. The following group list is the recommended classing of experience, however each driver is at their own discretion. Other factors such as capability of vehicle, etc may influence group classification.
Group A - Advanced - has multiple experiences on road courses including Nelson Ledges.
Group B - Intermediate - has had some experience on road courses, not including Nelson Ledges.
Group C - Novice - has had no experience on road courses in the past.
Gates open at 8am and close at 5pm. NPM will be using all of that time so be sure to up and ready on Friday morning. |
NPM will not be the only group there. We are participating in the FunDay normally scheduled by Nelson Ledges. All rules are set by Nelson Ledges authorities and must be followed:
-ALCOHOL IS NOT PERMITTED.
-Absolutely no aggression/road rage is tolerated. One warning is given then you will be asked to leave the property.
-Track time will be between 20-25 minutes per session. This is for your safety.
-A helmet is required. (Snell approved motorcycle is OK)
-All open cars and convertibles must have a roll bar, reinforced factory rollover protection similar to a Porsche Boxter or BMW M3.
-Proper attire is required. This is defined as sleeved shirt, closed-toe shoes and long pants. NO shorts, tank or halter- tops, sandals or open-toed shoes are allowed; shoulders, legs and feet must be covered. Again, this is for your safety.
-We do allow a passenger, over the age of 18 and helmeted, in the car with you.
-There is a Drivers Meeting prior to the beginning of the FunDay. This is important, so please attend.
-For your safety, it is important to listen and comply with track personnel.
-Please check your car thoroughly prior to going on the track or have a mechanic do so prior to coming to the track. Check brakes, brake line, hoses, cooling system, tires, power steering system etc. Under track conditions, belts and hoses do break, so do not take a chance on missing the day with a broken part.
