• This is a completely new grassroots-style Time Attack ruleset aiming to create an equitable dynamic classing structure for all vehicles regardless budget. Since nobody will have the opportunity to build to the ruleset, classing will be dynamic based on signups. Finalized classing will be announced during the driver's meeting.
• You will receive an email requesting additional information about your experience level and car setup.

• Between 2-3 hours of track time over the course of the day
• Scheduling information will be provided via email.
