An announcement of the Official Groundbreaking for North Carolina’s only dedicated road course, High Rock Raceway, the world's first 'green' racetrack is scheduled for Tuesday, January 15th. The track is located on Interstate-85, 40 minutes north of Charlotte and plans to open in October of this year.
Said track owner and CEO David L. Risdon, "Our track was designed by world renowned road racer Elliott Forbes-Robinson. The topography of the site coupled with his design gives the track ten continuous changes in elevation from thirty to sixty feet. This will result in a challenging and exciting racing experience for both drivers and spectators. “
All commercial and residential building, including 120 trackside luxury condos, at the Raceway will meet "North Carolina HealthyBuilt Homes” guidelines and showcase construction materials technology designed to reduce consumption and minimize environmental impact.
“From recycled paper for the hot dog wrappers to free track resources for companies developing alternative fuel and low emission vehicle technology, High Rock Raceway is committed to its mission of 'green racing.'" said Risdon.
Added Sam Barnett, VP of Development, "We have a unique opportunity to really make a difference in the future of motorsports and its impact on the environment. We hope to serve as a model that inspires other racing venues around the world."
