ON-TRACK Time Trial, drivers will tackle the 2-Mile NCCAR track and vie for the best single lap during TimeAttack lapping sessions and combine that with a furious no-experience needed point-to-point TrackSprint events. The best times from each day will be combined to determine the results and the top three overall and in each class take home the trophies.
ON-TRACK:
TIME TRIAL - TT: Times. Drivers race the clock and themselves to receive a fast time or beat a personal goal.
TRACK EVENT - TE: No Times. There is no pressure, no times, and no racing. Just going fast with other cars on a race track. TE can be used to shake down a car or expand your comfort level on track. Drivers share the track with the Time Trial's sessions and get to experience the 2-Mile NCCAR track. Mini Track Day participants are morning only. Full Track Event participants run all sessions and can run the Track Sprint with no published times.
OFF-TRACK: For all participants, we will provide a hot dog/brat/hamburger lunch each day, and a social on Saturday evening.
VOLUNTEERS: Those who want to experience the action, excitement, and festivities of a Time Trial close-up. Corner Workers, Tech Officials, Timing gurus, and more are absolutely welcome. Helping as a volunteer, worker, or official costs nothing (you even get some goodies such as an option to enjoy your car on track during the Worker Lapping sessions).
