DSE to Host the "Southern Slam" at Carolina Motorsports Park April 20th - 21st.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Mooresville, NC – It is now official, the American Street Car Series will once again be invading South Carolina and the 2.3 mile road course at Carolina Motorsports Park for Detroit Speed's "Southern Slam" in Kershaw, SC April 20th - April 21st. The American Street Car Series was last here in 2012 during the Run to the Ole South. This will be an Optima Ultimate Street Car Qualifier for the season ending event November 9th that pits the top street cars from across the country against each other in Pahrump, NV following the SEMA show.

The event will begin bright and early Saturday morning with tech inspection followed by Track "Hot Tips" presented by Jet-Hot. Saturday will be a full track day, this will be the road course portion of the event only. The full 2.3 mile track will be operated during this time solely for road course times. Following all of the action there will be a Low Country Boil on Saturday night.

Sunday will be a half day of autocrossing action on the "west" course. The west course was used during the 2012 Run to the Ole South and worked out perfect for competitors as well as track operators and corner workers. After all of the action is completed, we'll meet up at the pits and have the official awards ceremony.

Event Information:
Registration - $150.00
Camping Fee - $15.00 (Two nights)
Event T-Shirt - $15.00

Camping and carting on Friday evening. Karting is on individual participant's dime. Camping at the track is $15 for the weekend/no hookup. They have good bathhouse, so bring your tent and plan on late nights...:smoke:

Bill - do you know if they are/are not providing power? They did last year and I think they had water too if I remember correctly. No sewage though but that was no big deal.

How nice of you guys to schedule this on my birthday. Looking forward to it. Maybe a nice slice of apple pie could be available Sat night to help celebrate. Can't think of a better group of folks to spend the weekend with.

I have to pay extra for power, but it is available for a fee. No sewage and limited water access. I will have my motorhome there like last year, but pretty much plan on dry dock camping with it.

Geoff, CMP has power available in most of the paddock. I think 30 amp only. There is a minimal fee.

Yah I remember paying the fee for power now that you mention it. My camper isn't setup for full dry dock so I have to at least have power and would love to have water if possible.

I may not be able to bring the truck and run it, but I may see if if I can make it down to spend the weekend. I'll chase cones or help out as a worker in any way that may be needed.

Some folks celebrate a birthday month. I'm getting too old to be reminded of my age for a whole month. My DOB is April 20. Can't think of anything I would rather do than cut fast laps on a road course to celebrate.

I'm going to sign up next week if I still have a job after my boss comes to town! Now the question is what car to bring? The HPDE terror WS6 (Bill You should know the back end of this car! LOL) or the newly finished yet unproven 67 Pro-touring/track car?
Next question, the rules say 200 treadwear tires, yet my Kuhmo's are rated at 180. Can I still participate on those? Can't afford three sets of tires/wheels. Looking forward to making the trip down, my son is in school at UNCC.

This one? Oh, who is that in the background?

I registered Yesterday, but I havn't seen any confirmation yet or method of payment? Any answer on the 180 treadwear tires?

Bill Howell

you can participate on those tires, just not eligible for prizes. Jess, my daughter, if she hasn't already will as some point today or in the morning, depending on her schedule get you a confirmation shortly.

This will be the first track event for my car, and I have Hoosiers or my 180 tires, don't really have the money for a third set of tires just for this. As long as it's allowed then I won't worry about finding some 200 TW retreads just for this. I actually expect to break something or be slow in general as I have no track time with this car. I'm autox'n it local next weekend for the very first time, if it breaks then I'll bring the firebird. If I come out there and run in the top 10 with an unproven car built with junkyard parts, a 4" cutoff wheel and my Home Depot welder, then thats good enough for me!

we're glad to have you, Mr. Beach Cruiser!

I hate to keep pushing this, but I havn't seen anything from Jess on my Registration. I just don't want to miss out on this because I didn't push the right button or something stupid on my end.

Can I bring my M6 Convertible to this event? It has the factory roll bar system that engages on its own. I have been to many track events and some accept it, some don't. I would really like to join on this one though with this car :)

Thanks!
