TSCC Cross Trial @ Danville Airport

Danville Airport

About this event

Triad Sports Car Club is Proud to Announce The CrossTrial Shootout, Sat JSeptember 16 at the Danville Airport, Danville, Va.  The Shootout will be similar to a ProSolo with a 32 car field.  It will consist of a Double Elimination Bracket in which pairs of cars will run on circular DoubleCross style courses.  Each pairing will run a best 2 out of 3 runs, alternating lanes on the first 2 runs and the slower class or last winner having lane choice if a 3rd run is needed.  The winner advances in a winners bracket and the loser falls into a last chance bracket . You must lose 2 pairings to be eliminated from the Shootout.  The Competitor hitting the most cones loses that round.  There are no time penalties for hitting ones as there will be no timers.  2 judges will judge the finish line and any finish too close to call will rerun that race.  Each Bracket will run until only 4 remain.  The 4 Last Chance Bracket Winners will each then challenge the 4 Winners Bracket Finalists until only 1 car is left.

Classes will be grouped into 8 sub-Classes based on the 2017 Pax . Each group will have its own Handicapped starting line based on 2016-2017 ProSolo 60ft times and average final time difference between classes on 45-55 second ProSolo and National Tours . This comes up to a 40-75ft starting gap between each group .

The following groups are SAMPLE run groups separated as evenly as possible by PAX indexes from our 2012 event.  Final Groups WILL BE ANNOUNCED before the event.

Group 1- All Mods , FSAE , F125
Group 2- XP , BP , DP , FP , SSM
Group 3- CP , EP , SM , ASP
Group 4- BSP , CSP , SMF , SS
Group 5- ESP , DSP , AS , BS , GP
Group 6- CS , FS , FSP , STR , STU
Group 7- ST , STS , STX , ES , DS
Group 8- GS , HS

This will be grassroots racing at its best, think Pinks Vs ProSolo.  This event will require prepayment to hold your registration.  In the event spots are still open, walk up registration will be allowed.  Since this is a special low entrant event, entry fees will be slightly higher to cover site rental and insurance costs.  A $35 entry fee will  be required to hold your spot, member or non-member of TSCC.

We will have some form of Contingency pay out for the top 4 spots.

AGAIN, THIS EVENT HAS A CAP OF 32 REGISTRANTS.  YOU MUST PREREGISTER ONLINE TO SECURE A SPOT!

Directions:
Take I-40 to US 29 North in Greensboro. Follow US 29 through Reidsville into Virginia. Take the exit for the Danville Airport off of US 29 (Rt. 58 east). Make a Right; the airport is about 2 miles on the right. For the classroom session, turn at first airport entrance and go to the terminal building parking. For the autocross course on Sat. and Sun., do not take the first entrance, but follow along Rt. 58 east to the bottom of the hill and turn right at the sign (look for an orange cone), through the fence and up the hill.

Event requirements

Registration & Tech Opens: 8:00AM 
Registration closes at 9:30AM

Tech Closes Promptly at 9:15

Your car should be tech'ed BEFORE the drivers meeting. To pass tech, you must:

  • Clean out any loose items in the car (including the trunk): things like cell phones cables, garage door openers, loose change and such.
  • The battery has to be properly secured.
  • If your floor mats are not physically attached to carpet, they will have to be removed. We don’t want the floor mat to bunch up under the brake or gas.
  • Hubcaps and center caps on wheels should be removed. If your hubcaps mount to the wheel and are held in place by the lug nuts, then they can stay on, otherwise they should be removed.
  • Have a SNELL approved helmet, 2000 or newer (M-rated or SA-rated). Don't worry, if you don't have one we have loaners available.

It is your responsibility to:

  • Check basic fluids such as oil, coolant, and brake.
  • Make sure you torque the lug nuts to manufacturer's recommended tightness.
  • Make sure you have no active leaks on the motor, transmission or diff. Oil on the track is a bad thing.
  • Check tire pressure. If you don’t know what to set it to, a good starting point is typically 40 psi.
  • You WILL experience greater than normal tire wear. Your tires MUST be serviceable, meaning they have appropriate tread, no chords showing, etc.
