Can they move it to Saturday? I don't want to get up that early during the week or something.

On Friday they leave at 8AM and travel to Z-Max Dragway in Concord. At the end of the day the Tour ends and everyone disperses.

Guesstimate on time of day they'll be going thru here?

175 miles (per the PDF) from Darlington to their turn on S. Salem...maybe a little more than 3 hours, so sometime after 11am (give or take)?

They're taking a bit of a circuitous route, but that seems to be the point of the tour

They get thru Apex just before the Pig Fest on Friday/Saturday

I'd agree that the bulk of the cars will likely pass through Apex & Cary between 11 & 1.
