Grip 716
July 15, 2022 @ 6:00 pm – July 16, 2022 @ 7:00 pm
EVENT SUMMARY
This is not your “usual” track day experience. We put together a full-service, all-inclusive packaged, private track day for fellow supercar enthusiasts, who share similar “gripes”—too many cars; no food options available; no access to convenient accommodations; lack of on-site service offered; etc.
“Grip 716 Track Day” will give you the adrenaline rush you crave, without losing focus on every driver’s safety. This event was exclusively designed for intermediate- and advanced-level drivers only.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Grip’s Private Track Days are all-inclusive:
- Reception and registration (evening before)
- One-night of lodging
- Hot breakfast, coffee, and lunch buffet (at the track)
- Snacks, water, and soft drinks (all day)

ABOUT THE FACILITY
NCCAR is only 3 hours from the Metro DC area and only 1 hour south of Richmond, VA
Grip has rented the entire facility, exclusively available to our limited number of attendees. This beautiful 620-acre site houses a two-mile track that has four left corners; seven right corners; and a long straightaway. It was built and designed by Lotus as a testing facility, until it was sold. It is now one of Grip’s favorite technical tracks. For more track details, visit www.nccar.us.
