Qld Time Attack Series 2008

[MountainRunner]

I had this posted in the QLD / Events section but after spending more time here in the motorsport section I think it might be a more appropriate place to post it. Round 1 is only just over a week away on Tuesday Feb 5.

I have also added Motorkhana to the event and it will be run all day in the carpark between the pit bays and the sheds. For those who remember my big electronic sign and timing beams I have converted that system to do Motorkana so the crowd can see the elapsed time live.

Time Attack Series 2008

Event:

There will be a 6 round series, requiring each driver to complete 3 Sprint Track Rounds and 3 Clubman Track Rounds.

There will be 4 half track days for each of the clubman and sprint tracks that will be eligible for points.

The best 3 of the 4 of these half days completed by a driver will count as point’s rounds for that driver (A driver can miss a round on each track and still be competitive).

(The series is points based; therefore all drivers are welcome to any event as always)

The winners of each class, and the place holders, will be presented trophies at the end of the year.

[MountainRunner]

Yes all rounds are on weekdays, the calendar has been updated on the website for the year: 2008 Series Calendar

If you think you can make it to a round sometime during the year let me know in advance so I can secure you a spot.

Also, anyone who has run with us in the last few events, the Hall Of Fame and the Top Ten have now also been updated.

Hey Paul, Top 10 2WD Sprint track, you've got the fastest time in 2nd position and Georges initials are GK not GC

[MountainRunner]

lol, thanks for that. I will get the record updated.

[MountainRunner]

I was talking with QR management today and they no longer take the LS2 CAMS license. You need to have the AASA license which you can buy on the day from the front desk.

See you guys tomorrow.
