I got the Texas SCCA email and saw the bit about Club Trials. Has anyone participated in this and if so could you discuss your experience?
I am considering trying this event. From what I understand it is not open passing Time Trials. I think it is more like timed HPDE. Passing in designated zones with a point. The price looks very reasonable for the amount of track time.
I have run a number of them with SCCA Houston region. They are generally very well run, think of a normal track day just with transponders added. While you do get official lap times there are no classes in TT with SCCA, so no real competition.
Ken- At the events I have attended the passing rules varied.
I signed up. I think the sessions are broken up so that there are a few are out on track--spread out--going as hard as possible (thus minimal passing).
Since the ECR Toy Run, I have mounted new Kuhmo XS, pre-loaded my front sway bar, installed RX-8 front hubs and Hawk pads, and finished mounting the 5-point race harness. New fluids and I am ready for some Time Trials.
Best,
Paul
Heh. I never even bothered to read the email until I saw this thread.
Club trials sounds vaguely interesting, but note that all convertibles must have a compliant roll bar.
Which track? Do you have to do it all 3 days?
If they require the fully-compliant roll bar, few people on this board will be attending. Oh well.
The TT event is Jan 25 only.Quote:

For Club Trials? I don't think you need a license. See below. I see "or" under the requirements for a license.Quote:

All drivers aged 15 to 17 must contact event officials before the event and provide a completed

Looks like its $75 for 3 sessions on Saturday. (+$50 for transponder rental)

That's a reasonable price for track time.
Pretty reasonable, looks like you have to get there Fri to get a transponder? Might be a pain to get there after work.Quote:

In fact, a Miata with a factory hard top bolted in place is acceptable with or without a roll bar.
I wonder if that really means bolted (as in SM), and not just latched.
Yea what he said!Quote:
