anyone can do the time attack. Time attack and HPDE will be mixed in together. We are grouping cars based on their performance and driver skill level.

All thats needed to do the time attack is the extra $20/day for RFID rental.

Question:

Do the times for track portion in the TTS also count for the 'Time Attack' or would there have to be dual registry?

Just wondering if for some reason a car registered in only the TTS also posted the overall fastest hot lap?

Thanks!

Put down another 1G for tits.

Good question and No.

However if you do the 2-session special and add the $20 RFID, you can then compete for the Time Attack.

Also just to be clear, The Time Attack is a 2 day competition, so anyone competing on either days are eligible.

I see, but in the description: http://www.cwscc.com/maptts.php it's stated, "Using RFID timing, we take your best lap time of your 2-20minute track sessions."

Is the road course part of TTS not already a 2-session special with an RFID? I am guess I'm not understanding the difference, thanks!

[Dizmm]

Yes the TTS does have you out on track for 2 sessions, but you can only compete in either the Time Attack or TTS, no both.

Here are your 2 options:

TTS - $150

OR

Drag - $25
AutoX - $25
2-Session Special w/RFID rental (Compete in Time Attack) - $100.

Both get you the same amount of track time and at the same price.

[Dizmm]

I also received another good question in an email.

"What if I want to do the TTS as well as a 2-session special on Saturday?"

Answer: Not a problem. The drag portion of the TTS is run almost all day on Saturday. You can easily get in a few passes and run 2 sessions on the big road course. However you cannot compete in both TTS & Time Attack.


These are all good questions and I will add these to the Reg site. Thanks guys.

That answers it, thanks!

If TTS vs competing in all 3 separately is the same price, I know what I'm doing.

its setup that way so one person cant take the class winnings from the Time Attack AND TTS.

Also please note the Time Attack Winnings have been changed to 1st place $300, 2nd place $150, 3rd place $50.

Ha, no need to be afraid! There will be a group full of rookies and we have a great line-up of qualified instructors that will be ready to ride with you. You are also more than welcome to go for a ride along before going out in your own car.

[bramagedained]

Heh, if I end up home in June, I'll sign up just because. I've done a few track days, but, only an afternoon's worth of time on BIR's short course.

Is there a cap on # of signups?

I likely won't know for sure when I get my vacation until mid/late April.

[s1ngletracker]

you reduced the time attack payout? boo.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

They just split the money across 1st-3rd place. You gonna win the FWD class with the Chumpcar? Too bad it wouldn't fit in the street car class, since it doesn't have good tires, but has no interior.

We felt it was better to spread out the wealth.

[s1ngletracker]
