Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs, and other domestic built cars are not eligible to compete in the TTS. Exceptions include an import now powered by a domestic engine (Ex. 240sx w/LS1 swap). Also allowed will be a domestic now powered with an import engine.

Drag Racing
Spend Saturday trying to get your best quarter mile time.
Solo Auto-X
Compete in either the Friday night or Saturday night Solo Auto-X.
Time Attack
Take your car around the Road Course for three 20 minute sessions to achieve your best lap time.

Points
Your quickest time from each event is used. Each event is worth the same amount of points. The highest total points from the 3 events will declare the winner of each class.

Points will be awarded for completing each event based on a percentage of your time in relation to the event winner's time. Lowest time of each event will receive 1000 points. Individual scores will be calculated as follows:

Your Time - Winning Time = Difference
Difference / Winning Time = Percentage Factor
(1 – Percentage Factor) x 1000 = Event Points

Example Lowest Event Time: 45.183 sec - 1000 points
Joe Smith's Time: 46.118 sec – 979 points
46.118-45.183=.935
(.935/45.183)=.0207
(1-.0207) x 1000 = 979

There are 2 classes for this event:

Great job providing the logistical info in advance this season.

 

Thank you, we hope to see you this year at Proving Grounds

 

YW, I'll be there to help you guys keep the cars right side up and provide some coaching where needed at the Road Course Sat & Sun.

 

when can you start to register for events you want to run in?
I am wanting to do the TTSS street, what steps will I need to take to make this happen?
This is one of many events I'm planning on attending this year can't wait for spring to come

 

http://www.cwscc.com/maptts.php is the link to sign up for the TTS Event!

 

thanks signed up and impatiently waiting now

 

Hotel reserved, parts waiting to get placed on the car, and now the excitement is starting as the days draw nearer!

 

Hotel? Camping FTW.

 

I've spent the last 7 months "camping" in a desert...I'm going with the comfort of a hotel when I get home! haha

 

I feel you.... but the "fun" happens at the after party

 

"fun" and "stupid" are only seperated by a fine line of "responsibility" and being in the army, trying to get promoted. I can't afford to get "stupid" But I will be having plenty of fun already!

 

Party in your hotel room!

 

With just the two of you?

 

I'll be camping again like the last couple of years!

 

Well, I'm game for a party! Got a 2 queen bed room. And so far I'm the only one in it! haha

 

Just giving Ben a hard time.

 

I call whatever bed you're in!

 

Wait I like that comment.... but I don't like like that comment

 

tjkolb you want to split the hotel bill? (thats if you are starting on friday morning)

right now i am not sure if i'm going to install my parts or go back to completly stock for baseline numbers what you all think?

 

I have the room, anyone that needs a place to crash is more then welcome to do so! Xluben seems more interested in the cuddling though... I will have the hotel from the 22nd to the 24th so all good on that part. I plan to attend the whole weekend. BTW Ben, if you jumping in my bed, you can't bring the camera... lol

 

like hotel as in one of the onsite condos?

 

Offsite. MAP has the condos reserved for their staff and vendors.

 

Yup, I have a room reserved at the Holiday Inn 3 miles north of BIR. 5 min drive to be at the track. Close enough for me!

 

Camping ftw

 

When are you heading up there Ryan?

 

Me Ryan? Or someone else? Lol

 

Sorry I was talking to

 

Haha that's what I figured - I know very few names around here.

 

I call a tent with Derek.

 

I'll make sure to bring my small tent then. Who needs a giant tent, when you can snuggle in a tent that is too small for just me.

Yeah, seeing as how we have never met... it might be sort of creeper to know your name and see when you are coming to the event.

 

I'll bring the sleeping bag (singular).

 

Turns out Xluben is a man whore and can be in 2 places at once...haha

Yes, it sounds like "that kind" of event, after the racing and while under the influence I'm sure haha

 

you subi guys are going down!

 

I'd like it to be faster!

 

By the looks of the rules for drag racing no Subaru has a chance!

 

do people still drag race???
