About this event
This event has two options for participation. The first option is a Track Event (formerly called PDX), and a Time Trials (formerly called Club Trials). It is being run using the SCCA rules for a level 2 Track Event, and held on the Motorsport Ranch 1.7 configuration running counter clock wise . SCCA Track Events (TE) are designed to concentrate on driver enjoyment, philosophy, and the application of performance driving techniques. Track Events are non-competitive - participants do not receive lap times. SCCA Time Trials (TT) events provide a constructive learning environment that stresses proper driving techniques, while at the same time offering lap times. This event offers both Track Event and TimeTrials options for participants.
Additionally, in 2018 Texas Region SCCA is offering a Time Trials Championship series, where points are earned for each Time Trial throughout the year.
This event has two elements - Track Event and Time Trial. Please choose the correct element during the registration process:
- The Track Event (TE) element is open to novices with little or no track experience. TE drivers will have an instructor assigned to them for the day.
-
The Time Trials (TT) element is a timed event (SCCA level 2 Track Event), with the option to participate in the 2018 Time Trials Championship Series.
