TCRA Willow Springs May 29th and 30th
 

"Due to popular demand, TCRA decided to make the 4WD/Turbo Time Trial Challenge an official point and trophy award program for 2004. There are 2 classes in this time trial series for both 4 cylinder and 5-6 cylinder cars. Points and trophies will be award at each event and the drivers with the most points will be crowned the Champions of this exciting NEW series. If you think you got the right stuff to the claim to fame…see you on the grid!"

Alright, here's the deal. My Bro-in-law works for TCRA and is offering a special deal for us. Normally the cost for a 2-day race school plus time trial event is $280.00. Only for this event, the special price is $230.00 for both days. This event also gets you a TCRA racing license and qualifies you for TCRA racing points as well if you decide to continue in their racing series for 2004. We need a minium of 10 total participants for this discount. For those that participated in the March 27-28 event, youll be running in the green group and our discounted price is $175.00 for both days. One day sessions are also discounted at $145.00 per day. Time transponder rental are available at $30.00 per day.

Details:

This event is scheduled for May 29th - 30th at Willowsprings (The Big Track).
Sat May 29th consists of instructor-led and classroom schooling with 4-5 sessions of practice either by yourself or with an instructor.
Sun May 30th includes 3 sessions of further practice with a final 3 lap session that counts towards your final race time (best of 3 laps) with the transponder.
Helmets are required but M2000 are accepted for this special event only for first time participants. Future events will require SA95 or higher helmets. Time trial and school drivers at a minimum must wear a long-sleeved shirt, and long pants. (Shirt, pants, and under clothes should be 100% natural fibers (i.e. cotton or wool). The intent is to provide some skin protection from heat and flame without resorting to a fire retardant driver's suit. Synthetic fibers will melt and stick to the skin. (We aren't going to check the labels, but do yourself a favor and wear natural fibers.) All drivers must wear closed gloves that cover the entire hand to at least the wrist, and shoes that cover the entire foot (no open-toe shoes or sandals). (Fire retardant racing gloves and shoes are highly recommended).
