It's located just right out of the city limits of Carthage, TN. 1/4 mile - 28* banked - asphalt. "Mini Bristol" is what they call it. It's been out of operation since 2005. They're having a driver's meeting Jan 19th @ 2PM to discuss classes / rules / schedule. If you guys want a Chevette class there, you better show up in numbers, not 2 or 3. Show them you'll be there or if you can't make it post a message here and (Billy) or whoever attends can print it off and show it to the owners. I'll be there, but not for the Chevette class. I hope they run an affordable street stock class there.
Who all plans on going?

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS BELOW, THIS IS A SUPER NICE FACILITY. BUILT IN 2000 CHECK OUT THAT 28 DEGREE BANKING! I ran one practice session there in 2001. What an experience! Fast lap back a few years ago in Chevettes was around 12.8 - 13.1 seconds. You can run either a 3.70 or 4.11 depending on what rpm range and tires you run. I don't know if it was the proper way of adjusting for asphalt, but these guys were running upwards of 4 - 5 degrees (negative RF positive LF) of camber in the front wheels. I don't know why you want that much camber with a track banked that much, but thats what they did. Maybe their spring and shock rates weren't right and they compensated with camber?       |

Just added a video of Riverview Speedway in the Video Center. It's the first video on the page. Not Chevette racing, but gives those of you who has never been to Riverview a perspective of what the facility is like.
Anyone interested in racing at Riverview Speedway, whether it be Chevettes, FWD's, or another division, be sure to show your support and attend the driver's meeting.
