SOCIAL EVENT AT SCHNELL FEST AT COTA

February 24 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm CST

*REGISTRATION FOR THE COTA WEEKEND HPDE EVENT IS SEPARATE – this is ONLY to attend the free SOCIAL MIXER*
Come join us for a free SOCIAL MIXER at the first Schnell Fest of the year. The SOCIAL MIXER will be held on Saturday at 5pm at COTA Paddock Loft 201. There will be an assortment of sliders, beer, wine, soft drinks and water.
The SOCIAL MIXER is open to all and is a great opportunity to explore COTA and see what happens on an HPDE weekend.  This is a perfect opportunity to see the cars participating in the event and to talk to the drivers as well.
If you are interested in attending the SOCIAL MIXER, your vehicle will be stopped at the COTA security booth to sign the COTA and PCA waivers.  You will then receive a wristband which you must wear while on the premises.  Minor children are welcome but a legal guardian must sign a minor waiver. Pets are not allowed.
If you have never been to COTA please allow extra time to gain entry into the paddock area, find a place to park and find Paddock Loft 201 where the SOCIAL MIXER is being held (above the garages).  Please ask anyone there for assistance if you are unsure of where to go.
