Check-in and setup run Thursday, October 8, from 2–8 PM. All drivers must check in at the hobby shop before practicing to get wristbands and meal tickets and confirm class entries. RVs, campers, and pit trailers must check in before parking. Outdoor pitting is first come, first served.

On Friday, October 9, doors open and practice starts at 7:30 AM. Both tracks close at 6 PM for maintenance, and 1/10 qualifying begins at 6:30 PM. You can also check in Friday, but you have to do it before getting on the track. There's no practice Saturday, so make Friday count!

Saturday, October 10, is a full day of racing. The hobby shop opens at 6:30 AM, and 1/8 qualifying starts at 7:15 AM. Breakfast is served at 7:45 AM and lunch at 12:45 PM; meals are for drivers and meal ticket holders only. The lower 1/8 mains run after qualifying, and the 1/10 mains start at 7 PM.

There's no practice Saturday, since we'll need every bit of daylight to get the 1/8 program in. Stick around at dusk for Fire Pit Night!

We will email out a form as we get closer to the event where you can sign up for as many classes as you'd like! Stay tuned!

Indoor pitting + Camper spots must be reserved in advance with ticket purchase . Indoor pitting is available inside the shop, out in the container, or on the patio in the indoor track—all spots have power. Pit spots are half a table (36 x 30). Outdoor pitting is first come, first serve, and you must bring your own tent, power, tables, chairs, and any other setup you need. Camper/RV parking is also available, but please note there are no hookups, so campers must be fully self-contained. We may not be able to accommodate day-of arrivals if a spot is not reserved in advance. For questions, call (703)-631-8820.

We’ve put together this map to highlight Outdoor Pitting, Car Parking, RV/Camper Parking, and more. Please note: All Campers/RVs must check in before parking so we can guide you on where and how to park in order to make space for everyone.

The overflow indoor pitting is not being sold online at this time. We will open it up once all regular indoor pitting sells out.

We’re excited to announce that meals are included with every race ticket at this year’s Invitational! Drivers will receive meal tickets at check-in to enjoy catered breakfast and lunch all weekend long.

If rain is expected or begins during the event, racing will move indoors, and if conditions improve after a short shower, racing may resume outdoors under the same procedures. If a race is stopped at 50% completion or less, it will be red flagged and all vehicles must report immediately to impound. Cars will restart with the same setup and tires in the same order, with the race resuming for the remaining time. Any vehicle not reporting to impound will not be eligible to restart. If a race is more than 50% complete when red flagged, it will be declared official and not restarted indoors. For all new races after relocation, drivers may adjust tires and setup to prepare for the indoor track, ensuring closer and more competitive racing for everyone. We strongly encourage all drivers to bring a set of bar tires in case of rain.

For the outdoor track, we suggest running Blue or Aqua Reflex tires, along with Relapse.

For the indoor track, we recommend Silver or Green Ellipse, or Double Bars.
