Welcome to the Waterford Hills Time Trials/Road Bracket Racing Registration!
This Saturday event is for Practice only. No points will be awarded as a result of this race.
We have the opprotunity to use some open time on Saturday before our official race on Sunday. We'd like to have at least 10 drivers sign up to take the extra time for ourselves. Here's what you can expect for the day:
- Transponders will be attached to your vehicle at Tech
- You will be given two sessions that are run like the qualifying session of a normal bracket race
- Timing information will be provided in raw format from Timing and Scoring
- You must have completed at least ONE bracket race to be eligible for this practice session
- Regular Bracket racing crew will not be present on the day of this event
- Your point of contact will be provided in the TT update email
- You may be given a bonus session at the end of the day if the event staff can support it.
What is Road Bracket Racing?
- RBR is a way to test your skills and compete on a level playing field against other drivers and vehicles
- After a practice session ,You tell us what your lap time will be during a timed session
- The person with the closest three runs is the winner!
How it works:
- We will zip tie a transponder to your vehicle during the Tech Inspection
- You'll complete a quick ~1/2 hour meeting to explain how the event works
- Participate in a timed practice session in the Morning.
- Choose your target lap time based on the timed practice session runs
- We'll place you out on the track by order of fastest to slowest to minimize traffic
- Drive your session and try to get as close to your chosen time as you can.
- Your best times will be used to score your runs. The lower the differential, the better your score.
Basic rules:
- Point to pass rules... no driver may pass unless they are pointed by the leading driver
