About this event

 THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO ALL BRANDS OF CARS

 

  • Each group will get five 20 minute sessions.   Price is $380 for non GGLC members and 400 for non-members.  You can join the club for $25 and take the member discount.  This price will likely increase as we get closer to the event, especially if the weather is looking good, so I recommend you sign up early.
  • We are running this event as guests of LightSpeed as they have rented the track for the day and sold us 2 run groups.
  • We are only running 2 groups, one with open passing, and one with pointbys required in the turns and short straights and open passing on the long straights.
  • Cancelations with full refund are allowed before March 17
  • All brands of cars are welcome. 
  • Pre 1980 open wheel cars are allowed in the Advanced Group only.  Later open wheeled cars are not allowed.
