MAP Proving Grounds 2012 - Road Course / AutoX

[Dizmm]

I wanted to start a new thread specifically talking about the Road Course and Parking lot Solo AutoX.

The FULL Details can be found here: http://www.cwscc.com/MAPerformance.php

HPDE/Time Attack will be going on both Saturday AND Sunday this year.

New for 2012:

Time Attack- Ran in typical Time Attack format. Expect 1.5-2 Hours of total track time per day. Sign up for Saturday, Sunday, or even BOTH. Using our new RFID timing system, every lap you make around the track will be timed. Times will be posted throughout the day. PG2012 Time Attack classing can befound here.

2-Session Special- Not sure if you or your car is up for a full day of high speed lapping around the 2.5mile competition Road Course, then this is for you. $80 for 40 total minutes of on track driving. Instructors available upon request at no charge.

Triple-Track-Showdown (TTS)- Prove you have the car and skill that can do it all. Combination of Drag, AutoX, & Road Course(Time Attack). More info: http://www.cwscc.com/maptts.php

Parking Lot Solo AutoX- We will be doing 2 events, one on Friday evening and another Saturday evening. Just like previous years, you simply have to show up, register, and drive. No need for working corners and picking up cones.


-------------------------------
What is HPDE? - A lapping day (also called HPDE for High Performance Driver Education) allows you and your car on a track for several 20 minute sessions. It’s the best bang for your buck netting you the most seat time. Lapping days are an exhilarating way to test yourself and your car’s capabilities and improve your skills.

Time Attack - Time Attack is ran in the same format as the above HPDE. The biggest difference is that every lap you make is timed. This allows you to see your improvements as well as compete against other cars with simular performance. Trophies and prizes will be awarded to the top finisher of each class.

Time Attack Classing:
The classing is primarily separated based on drivetrain. AWD, RWD, FWD. From there we separate each drivetrain class into 2 groups, Street and Unlimited. Street class is designed for street cars with interior, street legal tires (140+ treadwear), and must have headlights, taillights, turn signals, and most other things to make it street legal. Unlimited is for fully modified, stripped down, full aero, and running Racing Tires.

Time Attack & TTS WINNERS:
Time Attack Class winners will receive 1st-$300, 2nd-$150, 3rd-$50 and each TTS Class winner will receive $250.
-------------------------------

Pre-Registration is up. Only limited number of spots.

2 Session Special w/ instructor sounds like my kinda thing. I don't wanna get in anyone's way though XD.

[s1ngletracker]

sounds fun, but it also sounds like i'd get killed by some high power evo in my stockish 1g in the triple challenge.

You will be put on track based on your car and your skill level.

The 2-session special was created to get more people that are new to the High Speed stuff involved. You will be allowed to ride along with an instructor before you go on track with your own car. We will also have a "rookies" Driver's Meeting that will cover many of the basics.

I understand, and wish we could have more classes but then that defeats the purpose of the entire competition.

Nonetheless, the Triple challenge is a great deal and allows you to try it all out.

Put me down for the Triple Track Showdown.

In a 1g.

Just win the FWD Time Attack with the Chumpcar. I think the Chumpcar BIR race is the week after though.

[s1ngletracker]

yeah, I would run it there but i'm totally not willing to risk messing something up right before the BIR race.

oooh, another 1g. I'll have to check in and see what cars are registered closer to the date of the event.

[turbotalon1g]

Man i wish i could do TTS this year I've already done some Tits so why not?

[ylimert01]

woot! I am doing autox this year. most likely sat session.

[Dizmm]

^ awesome. The TTS program is getting a lot of attention.

I also hear there will be some kick ass awards to the wieners of each class (AutoX, TTS, & Time Attack). Details on that to come.....

Anyone know if these guys want to come out to play?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

I tried to get some of the track cars we sponsor to go, but none of them can make it that weekend. Can my wife join the time attack, if she just wants to get some lap times? Will the time attack run at the same time as the open run groups?
