Default Texas Time Trial Events in January/February



If anyone is interested I'm putting on another time trial at mineral wells on Sunday January 24th (weather permitting). And if there is enough interest then we will put on another event on February 6th (weather permitting).

Most of you know how these event work but for those that don't, this is a time trial not an autocross. Think of it like a timed road course event except on a super-massive parking lot. Speeds will be higher and the course is faster and open than any autocross. You will get a TON of seat time with zero corner working. The entry fee also includes free lunch and water! One new change for this year is that we will be running more permanent fixed courses. These will be the same from event to event so if you go to one event, make some changes to your car, and then come to another event you can compare the times to see improvement.

We also have just finished a new course for this year. When we designed it we wanted to build something that raises the bar for course design. We wanted something that would incorporate many of the elements of a real road course, something that was intimidating and scary, and it had to be just as fun to drive in a Miata as a Z06. We went out this past Sunday to set the course up for the first time, and we ended up spending all day working on it until everything was perfect. I don't want to say too much myself, hopefully some of the other guys who have driven it will chime in. But I can say that this course is incredibly challenging, and it isn't something you can master in one day!

I can guarantee these time trials are the most fun events you will ever go to! We have a very low entry cap which means you get a ton of seat time with no working! This event is capped at less than 20 people, and it will fill up so don't wait till the last minute to register. Spots are first come first served! Previous autocross or track experience is required.

These events really are the most fun things you can do short of a day at MSR, but at a 1/3 to a 1/4 of the cost.

Essentially as many runs as you would like to do, with no corner working.

The new course we designed is fast and challenging, but still safe. It has multiple 90 mph sections, and a very technical sections that make it a rewarding course to drive.
