Targa - Time Trial, Rally and Solo Events requirements on Nov 9, 2019 (370182) | MotorsportReg.com

• Targa participants may earn season points in the disciplines they run as well as compete for Targa points. If their “official” Targa vehicle is not in their same season points class, they may have a second entry for that discipline to earn their season points. This must be a separate entry and entry fees will be mandatory for the second vehicle.  

  • Note:  Price Tier 2 allows for both drivers to drive in Time Trails and Solo (autocross) and score points for those events and for season.  However the team must designate the driver who will be scored for the Targa in Time Trails and Solo (autocross)

• For all classes EXCEPT the Towed Vehicle/Open Tire class, the Targa vehicle must run one set of tires, not to be changed out by discipline, (only allowing change for catastrophic issues) and must be 200 tw or higher

• Helmets must be worn for all track and autocross events.  Helmets certified as meeting the most current or the two most recent applicable Snell, FIA, or SFI standards are acceptable.

• Points for the Targa championship in each class will be determined by the team’s placement in their division

 

If you do not meet the requirements of 1-4 above, you can request an entry waiver by contacting the Chief Driving Instructor, Brad Flack (bradflack@earthlink.net).  All drivers approved for participation who do not meet 1-4 above and who don't have and entry waiver will need to choose the Track Experience (TE) option when registering.  

 

If using your own transponder, your AMB transponder must be compatible with our timing system.  If you're not sure, please email Brad Flack (bradflack@earthlink.net) for clarification.

The driver must have a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. The car must be in good mechanical condition.
