 Instructions for Charlotte Motor Speedway:

If you are the first to arrive please unlock the the "club House" and remove the frequency board and chairs.
The first aid kit and fire extinguisher can remain inside. If you are the last to leave please put the club equipment back in the "club House" and lock it.
The combo for the lock can be obtained from one of the club officers.
 
Please keep all trash in the two trash cans and please keep the field clean. NO household trash in the cans please.
 
The Management at Charlotte Motor Speedway has asked us to chase away anybody who goes down the access road to the bottom of the campground (excluding track staff of course) If the interlopers give you ANY static just let the track security know, you will see their building on the left as you drive to our field.
 
ALL flight is to take place between the flight stations and the landfill to the east. NEVER fly over the track area or the buildings to the south.
 
This is an AMA chartered field. ALL AMA rules apply. You MUST have a current AMA membership and a membership in FAPA to fly at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
