Waterford Hills Time Trials event 8/10 - 8/11

[SeanRTR]

For those looking to combine the competitive atmosphere of an autocross and higher speeds and longer seat time of an autocross, the first time trials events at Waterford Hills race weekend four, is just a few weeks away.

Waterford Hills is pleased to open up registration for it's inaugural Time Trial competition. Registration is open to Open Track Day (HPDE-4) participants/vehicles that have run in the advance group (Blue) as well as competition licensed drivers. Drivers not meeting those requirements that wish to participate can do so by completing a "Skill Verification" run with an assigned qualified driver.

How it works:


•We will attach a transponder to your vehicle during the Tech Inspection
•You'll complete a quick indoctrination course to explain how the event works (driver's meeting)
•Participate in a timed practice session on Saturday Morning.
•Choose your target lap time based on the timed practice session runs
•We'll place you out on the track so you shouldn't encounter the other drivers based on your chosen time.
•Drive your three sessions and try to get as close to your chosen time as you can.
•Your best time from each session will be used to score your runs. The lower the differential, the better your score.


Basic rules:


•Point to pass rules... no driver may pass unless they are pointed by the leading driver.
•HPDE-4 (Blue group) passing zones
•MANDATORY blue flags - you have to let a car pass if you are shown a blue flag
•NO wheel to wheel racing.
•If you've run an Open Track Day at Waterford Hills, you already know 90% of the procedure!
•Registration is limited to 20 cars. There will be up to 2 run groups divided by chosen lap times.


Track time:


•Saturday

◦Morning - 20 minute session: Qualification/Practice runs

We will be doing this on Weekend five and maybe race weekend 6 as well if everything goes well.

This is a tremendous chance to experience the fun and family like environment of a Waterford Race weekend, while getting some competitive track time in of your own. I would really like to see some autocross people out there. Take the next into road racing, this is a tremendous opportunity, so take advantage.

Feel free to ask questions, and I'll do my best to answer everyone.
