About this event
Join us all day on Saturday July 4th, 2020 for VCMC Time Attack #3 (Changed from July 5th evening event) at Mission Raceway Park hosted by VCMC Motorsport Club.
COVID-19 Update: At this time, we will be hosting an event. This event will include all necessary precautions required to ensure safety for all organizers and attendees. An up to date email will be sent out to the participants prior to the event. If the event is canceled due to safety concerns, a refund or credit will be given in full.
Time Attack events are held as a No-Passing Time Attack and is open to drivers of various experience levels. Drivers are grouped by their lap time and vehicle class to ensure that all the drivers and vehicles in each session are evenly matched.
Time Attack offers a safe environment for those looking to join a group of people who test both their personal limits and the limits of the car. We aim to create a constructive community for participants to work together and defeat the proverbial clock.
If this is your first track event anywhere, your times will not be counted. This event will be treated as a driver training day. We will have an instructor lead you around the course in their car as you follow them in your own car. If this is your first track event, do not rent a timing transponder.
