No Golf Carts Since January 1, 2003 – Speedway Insurance Requirements

The Hornets Nest Region AACA has been notified by Charlotte Motor Speedway that effective January 1, 2003, vendors and members of the public will not be allowed to operate golf carts on Speedway property.

This also includes the physically impaired, who had been allowed in the past to use golf carts. The Speedway’s insurance carrier is now requiring a very stringent management of non-street licensed motorized vehicles, such as golf cars, used on speedway property. This applies to all events promoted on the Speedway Motorsports properties, which includes Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Speedway will continue to allow the use of Golf Carts at Charlotte AutoFair for official use by the Hornets Nest Region AACA and also for other Speedway-authorized representatives and racing-related sponsors.

Effective January 1, 2003, the physically impaired will only be able to use the 1- or 2-seat personal battery-operated convenience vehicles (“mobility scooters”) typically allowed on a downtown sidewalk and inside an office building. Golf carts will not be permitted for physically impaired use. This applies to all events on the various Speedway Motorsports properties, including Charlotte AutoFair and Hornets Nest Auto Fest.
