The weekend will feature our Performance Driving Series along with our Time Trial classes and an Autocross on Saturday afternoon.  We plan to have one Time Trial group and three PDS run groups (subject to change depending on the registrations). Each run group is scheduled for three lapping sessions on Saturday followed by four autocross timed laps on Saturday afternoon. Sunday will offer five run sessions.. Run groups and final schedule will be based on the number and classes of registrants. Please note that the EARLY BIRD PRICING OFFER ends December 25th at midnight.

Vehicle tech inspection should be performed at an official POC Tech Inspection Station. Tech inspection is available at the track but it is recommended that you complete Tech Inspection prior to the event as this makes for a smoother morning and avoids any last minutes discoveries which could reduce your track time.
