DESCRIPTION OF EVENT:

  • Untimed Sessions. These sessions will give drivers an opportunity to learn the track and to earn their Time Trial Novice Permit.
  • TrackCross Day 1. One car versus the autocross timing lights. A standing start will be used and plenty of empty track will be allowed for the driver to cool down after the finish lights. After completion of the lap, drivers should continue safely and slowly to the false grid to get in line for another run. The number of runs will be determined on the day of the event and communicated with the drivers. The fastest time will count towards the driver’s overall time for the weekend.
  • Live timing on live.axti.me
  • Timed Laps. The best lap counts towards the driver’s overall time for the weekend. Transponders must be used and will be available for rental for a fee of $25.
  • TrackCross Day 2. Similar format to Day 1, but it will be a different portion of the track or track configuration.
  • Best Time = Best Time TrackCross Day 1 + Best Timed Lap + Best Time TrackCross Day 2

TIME TRIAL NOVICE PERMIT: Drivers that successfully complete the Saturday sessions will be eligible for a Time Trial Novice Permit. There is no charge for your Time Trial Novice Permit (Special Deal!).
