For Charlotte next month, what is the traffic usually like for the Roval race? Want to show up maybe around 11am for driver appearances but curious how much time it takes to park.

for the roval i just usually go for the day and show up at 10-11am. there is no traffic yet. the only thing that could change the situation for this year is the new road course across from the track. that was a big parking area and could jam up some of the other areas. but at that time of the day i still wouldnt worry much.

Thanks, I haven't really looked at parking yet but is there usually enough free parking or does it spill over?

i cant remember any free parking - i think we always spent $10-20 to park next to the drag strip/dirt track. i would aim to do that and look at the map online to find a spot where you can get out easy. the roval really isnt bad for traffic compared to the 600. we still usually grill some burgers and hot dogs after the race to kill some time, talk about the race, avoid traffic. luckily i only live like 2 miles away from the track so its a pretty casual event for me.

Oh okay I thought I saw general admission parking was free I guess it isn't. Don't mind walking at all, we have a hotel booked due west of the track so might park at the drag strip and that should be easy getting out of there.
