For the first time in the history of the Connecticut Autocross and Rally Team, we will be holding a track day event on all THREE Pocono road courses: North, South and East. We will also be running a time trial on the North and East course, with a Team Relay event on the North course. During a lunch break, a parade lap of the NASCAR Tri-oval will be run.
