So to get a start figuring this out. @ACCURATEin @CLtotheTL32 @Shadow2056 @alexSU @civicdrivr @97CL_NC1102 and anyone else interested.
What would be the preferred place to go karting? Trackhouse (GoPro Motorplex), Victory Lane, or The Pit? Trackhouse is outside and the fastest karts. They are also the most expensive. I think Trackhouse from what I can tell has done away with the membership fee and it is just $80 for 3 races now on the weekend. The Pit is in Mooresville as well but indoors and has a $15 membership if you want cheaper race prices. Basically, it reduces the price so that if you are racing more than twice it is cheaper to pay for the membership. $65 for 3 races with a membership. Victory Lane is down in Charlotte by Where 77 and 85 merge to go north on the very first exit. They have a required $10 membership fee. Then 3 races is $55 or 4 races is $64 after that. The races are 10min each at Trachouse and 8min each at The Pit and Victory Lane. I love them all for different reasons but likely put Victory Lane last if I had to group them as I find the track slippery. Our best bet if not booking a group event would be to get there as close to when they open as possible. Trackhouse opens at 9am, Victory Lane 10am, and The Pit at 11am. Depending on how long we want to spend at Cars and Coffee would determine likely which one makes sense. Also which Cars and Coffee we try and piggyback this off of. Mooresville is a haul for some of you but it might make sense for some of these tracks.

I'm in for any of them just depends on the weekend. If we have a few options I'd let you know right away. Even if I don't attend the Mooresville C&C I'd still join you guys for karts.

I've been to all three before and while they're all fine, I prefer Trackhouse (GoPro). It's a haul, but it's worth it IMO

I'm ok with them all as well. Just depends on when and where. I'm normally good for Sunday's but after 2pm.

It was pretty cool! Haven't really been around exotics at shows except for Cars and Coffee. I was finally able to actually take my time and check out the different cars. I have a YouTube video I'll be posting later today from it.

Anyone know anyone that will pass a car with darker window tint? I might drive over to acura and ask around and hopefully test drive the new integra.

I've gone to Sunset Auto Inspections on the corner of Sunset and Statesville Rds a few times since it is close to my work. I would pay them a little extra to pass my EP3 with dark tint. I got tired of the shadiness and eventually ripped it out. I think they are under new Mgt/owner now so they might not deal on dark tint anymore, but the place is still a bit shady, so... 🤷♂️ Oh, if you go bring some small 2x4's... last time I tried to take the TL there my car was too low and I almost ripped off my front splashguards. Their ramps are a little high and not very long.
