Time Attack

@Talladega Gran Prix - Saturday October 3rd Talladega Gran Prix Raceway

That’s right, no excuses. A *PROPERLY TIMED* “local” Time Attack, WITH CASH PAYOUTS. We will have AMB transponders for all Time Attack competing cars. We may even have Traqmate GPS Data Acquisition with in-car video for the fastest in each class. Winners of each class will receive at least $200 in cash*

Pre-registration will be a very affordable $125 for all HPDE entrants. Those that want to compete in the Time Attack portion will have a $40 transponder rental fee. Pre-registration ends 48 hours before the event and late registration is $35 more.

There will be 5 simple classes:

There will be 5 simple classes:

Small Bore – Anything under 2.5 liters naturally aspirated (has current registration), tire tread-wear over 140.**

Street – Anything street-legal (has current registration), tire tread-wear over 140.**

Prepped – Anything street-legal (has current registration) on a DOT tire*
*NEW RULE* - Shop cars with FULL interiors, on Street Tires (over 140 treadware), that have current registration can run Prepped.

Race – Anything on race rubber that’s not a shop car.**

Shop Car – Anything goes. Seriously, anything.

**Anything that is obviously sponsored by a shop is considered a shop car. Even Doug’s DD street-tired ’08 STi is considered a shop car.

Spectators / car show - Don’t wanna race but wanna come watch - $10 per spectator $20 per vehicle of spectators. So if you’re broke, pile in and split the costs. (this keeps from having too many cars inside the track)

Shops – Come show what you’ve got. Shop cars not eligible for payouts, BUT, free 10x10 booth space per Time Attack entered Shop Car. Shops just wanting space and not entering can rent space – contact us for details.

Students – If there is enough interest shown with pre-registered HPDE entrants that indicate a desire for instruction, we might roll out some instructors.

Extras - We will have Brian from JRZ giving a seminar on suspension and chassis setup during lunch. We will also have Robbie Harper from Big South Series with some long-track karts on display.

*Payouts contingent on at least 5 cars in class and 30 total entered cars. Details subject to change without notice.




Allright guys and gals. We're about halfway full and at this point it if people don't sign up by tomorrow, it might become just an open track day...

*IT'S ON!!!*

That's right, I spoke with the track owner this evening and even though our numbers are much lower than anticipated, he's working with us to be able to run the competitive event. Just FYI, the competition insurance is nearly $1k and the required ambulance is $600. Those costs are what makes a competitive event SO much more expensive than a normal "test and tune." Anybody who's not a registered driver will have to pay the $5 gate fee.

So we will definitely be having the event and those that want to compete will have the AMB transponders there.

To rent the transponder will require the $40 transponder fee and leaving you driver's license AND a credit card with the transponder rental people.

This is great news. If you haven't paid yet, please call TopSpeed tomorrow and pay. If you were holding off registering, pre-registration will still be $30 cheaper than registering at the gate.

If you have any questions, please PM, text, or call us.

Thanks,
Siegel
