Timing Transponders:
We are offering up to 40 drivers a chance to have an official transponder in their car while on track. While this event will NOT be a competitive Time Trials event we have an opportunity to operate similarly to our typical Time Trials events. We will grid cars from fastest to slowest using a traditional 20 minute session. This format will increase the chances of a uninterrupted lap. Based on your lap times, Speedy Goat will adjust the run groups throughout the day to better match run groups.

- 499 (cash or E-transfer)
