We have been speaking to Lee from The Modifiers Club and Chris Mann to enter GTi-R’s for TOTB. I am please to announce that we are running “Team GTi-R” for 2008. Each club will have 5 cars each to represent GTiR's and this will hopefully give “Team GTi-R” maximum points.
For 2008 the event takes place on Sunday 27th July at Elvington Airfield near York.
We need cars for both drag and handling disciplines. To qualify for drag racing you need to have a proven minimum time of 11.8 and we will need to see a timing slip to back this up. For the handling section your car must be set up to track spec.
If you think you have what it takes then please post up here or contact myself or Rishi to discuss. Entrants need to be signed up by 30th June.
Please read the following if your thinking of entering:
1. Top speed distance- this has now been set at 1km standing speed trap, after the recent noise case was settled at Elvington. The very top end of the runway we use is to be kept as quiet as possible, and a 1km speed trap was already a proposal in the pipeline anyway, which we have now been instructed to use. At this distance however we still expect cars to approach 180+mph top speeds or more. The results clock can also be hard wired now back to the main control which will help in results being up to date without a half hr wait for them to be brought back from the top speed trap.
2. Handling circuit timing- after discussion and general feedback it seems the proposal to drop the untimed sighting lap for every car and just run 5 maximum timed laps per car is acceptable to all. The new timing clocks will allow two cars on track as described at safe intervals. Competitors may walk the course on the Sunday morning prior to event start if they wish, once they have signed on and got a wristband.
3. Drag Shootout finals- again the feedback has been good on the proposal to delete the fwd vs. rwd drag final and the 2wd vs. 4wd final, to ensure the day finishes within a reasonable time and is relevant.
We will be keeping the usual class based drag finals run off in the following order: - FWD, RWD, 4WD, then finally Pro-Drag. The top 4 cars in each class qualify as in previous years.
Competitors who win their own class drag final will then pick up a bonus point toward the overall scoring for the TOTB overall champion. (Pro-drag do not count points).
4. Handling shootout final- this will remain as previous, with a one point bonus for winning the shootout of the top 4 cars overall.
