Time Trial: Entry prices continue to be discounted by $100 due to sponsorship by Performance Auto Sport.  TT entrants must have a transponder and please rent one if necessary.  If a racer is supersizing for TT, the racer does not need a TT license.  All others wishing to participate in Time Trial must have a TT license.
