Registration is now open for Roebling Road
Wanted to send out an official announcement that registration is now open for our June 19-20 high performance driver's ed and time trial event at Roebling Road Raceway (www.roeblingroad.com) near Savannah, GA.
For all the details, please visit www.timetrials.net or www.triangleZclub.com - but in short, we rent a track and spend two days learning it and learning to drive our cars at speed with experienced, seasoned, and tested track veterans riding with us to teach us the ropes.
If it's your first time, consider it "Introduction to high-speed, road-course driving". Your car simply has to be safe, and you only need a certified helmet, clothes of natural fibers (usually long sleeves and long pants) and sneakers that aren't too bulky. You'll be amazed at how much you will learn, not only about your car, but also about yourself. You know you've wondered what it would be like to be behind the wheel of a race car, taking the twisties at blinding speeds... well, let's not get ahead of ourselves, but our events give you the opportunity in a safe, structured (but not overly restrictive) environment to experience race course driving without the costs and dangers associated with head-to-head amateur or professional racing.
In comparison with other motorsports events, there is no question you get the most seat time. We offer three on-track, at speed sessions per day at about 30 minutes each. That's close to THREE HOURS of seat time. Compare THAT to your local autocross where if you're lucky, you'll be behind the wheel for about 10 minutes... with lots of waiting in between (and they usually make you work the corners too! UGGH! ). When you're not on track at our events, you'll receive world class training and discussion in the classroom portions of the weekend. We have dedicated instructors who will help each group tackle problems in general and specific problems with certain corners or techniques you may be having a hard time with.
For those of you who've done this before, you know what I'm talking about. So as an added benefit, we also offer a SOLO I style competitive time trial at the end of each day. The time trial is open to qualified participants (visit www.timetrials.net for the details) with cars passing our time trial safety standards (modified SCCA SOLO I specs). Cars will be classed appropriately to ensure competitive times and sent out three or four cars at a time. Cars will be spaced so there will be no passing or risk of 'entanglement' and timed similar in fashion to a qualifying session: warm-up lap, followed by three hot laps, ending with a cool-down lap. You will be accurately timed and trophies will be awarded to class winners. We even have a season points system for those who frequent our events.
Member pricing is $235 for the weekend, $255 for non-members and any entry received after May 29th. The time trial is an additional $25. Please visit the websites above for links to forms and other important information.
Thank you for your time.
