The races on Sunday are just fun events they are not actual races. I probably won’t be attending Sunday.
[quote]“Putnam Showdown”
Sunday October 4
A Speed Challenge that pits Time Trial drivers against Race drivers in a
single lap “race”. Drivers will pick a lap time they think they can turn,
starting from a dead stop and ending in a flying finish. The driver closest
to their target time wins!
Event Details
- Start will take place from pit lane, approximately 50 feet behind
the timing loop, thus negating the need for a “hard” standing start.
You will receive one timed lap and a cool down lap. - Cars will leave pit lane in 5-10 second intervals, from fastest to
slowest. 5-7 cars will be on track at a time. - Drivers must declare their lap time by 10:45 am Sunday. Form
available at NASA Central - Course configuration is at the discretion of the Race Director &
Region Director. Chicane (s) may be in play! - Drivers going faster than their target time will have “Broken Out”
and lose. The goal is to get as close to the time you predict you
can run without going faster. - Radio’s, Data Aq, Lap Timers are legal for use, but not very
sporting. Make it hard on yourself! - All cars will exit the track into the hot-pit as normal.
- Spins equal automatic “Break Out”. You lose!
- All applicable class/series rules apply for this race.
