TopSpeed Time Attack

Talladega Gran Prix - Saturday October 3rd

So you think your Fast.... Then PROVE IT!!

That’s right, no excuses. A *PROPERLY TIMED* “local” Time Attack, WITH CASH PAYOUTS. We will have AMB transponders for all Time Attack competing cars, along with Traqmate GPS Data Acquisition with in-car video for the fastest in each class.

Winners of each class will receive at least $200 in cash*

Pre-registration will be a very affordable $125 for all HPDE entrants. Those that want to compete in the Time Attack portion will have a $40 transponder rental fee. Pre-registration ends 48 hours before the event and late registration is $35 more.

There will be 5 simple classes:

Small Bore – Anything under 2.5 liters naturally aspirated (has current registration), tire tread-wear over 140.**

Street – Anything street-legal (has current registration), tire tread-wear over 140.**

Prepped – Anything street-legal (has current registration) on a DOT tire**

Race – Anything on race rubber that’s not a shop car.**

Shop Car – Anything goes. Seriously, anything.

**Anything that is obviously sponsored by a shop is considered a shop car. Even Doug’s DD street-tired ’08 STi is considered a shop car.

Spectators / car show - Don’t wanna race but wanna come watch - $10 per spectator $20 per vehicle of spectators. So if you’re broke, pile in and split the costs. (this keeps from having too many cars inside the track)

Shops – Come show what you’ve got. Shop cars not eligible for payouts, BUT, free 10x10 booth space per Time Attack entered Shop Car. Shops just wanting space and not entering can rent space – contact us for details.

Students – If there is enough interest shown with pre-registered HPDE entrants that indicate a desire for instruction, we might roll out some instructors.

Extras - We will have Brian from JRZ giving a seminar on suspension and chassis setup during lunch. We will also have Robbie Harper from Big South Series with some long-track karts on display.

*Payouts contingent on at least 5 cars in class and 30 total entered cars. Details subject to change without notice.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW, AND COMPLETE THE FORM. SOMEBODY FROM TOPSPEED WILL CONTACT YOU WITHIN 24HRS OF RECEIVING IT FOR PAYMENT.

**tnomud** · 08-19-2009, 08:01 AM

Looks like fun. This track is a blast on a bike, I'd love to try it in a car.

**Elbow** · 08-19-2009, 10:07 AM

I will be running for sure, but my question still stands! Can I run a 2.5 in the small bore class?

**TopSpeedInc** · 08-19-2009, 02:46 PM

yes 2.5 is legal for small bore so long that its NA

**Elbow** · 08-19-2009, 02:47 PM

Sweet! Thanks.

**matthewAPM** · 08-19-2009, 03:15 PM

I was going to post it on here but wasnt sure if you wanted the "ricer" crowed coming hahaha.

I'll be there with Simon in the FC.

**TheChosenOne** · 08-20-2009, 03:08 PM

This seems like something I'd wanna do, but I'm a beginner. Is this outta my league?

**CeOTiO8** · 08-20-2009, 03:13 PM

I would hope to be going

The guys from Top Speed can correct me if Im wrong (which happens), but this is the PERFECT place for a beginner!! A controlled, safe, race-track. As some point, everyone has their first track day! This could be yours.

I have been to a couple of track days with Scott Siegel of Top Speed, and it was a class-act event. Just my experience....

If the gremlins are gone from my car, I hope to attend.

IMO, this is the best track in the southeast to learn on. There will also be instructors there giving hands to the new guys.

**Sobe_Death** · 08-21-2009, 01:03 PM

Thats what its all about man, gong out and having fun. Good to see what you and your car are capable of.

**4uh8ers** · 09-09-2009, 12:09 AM

If i can get my car done and sold/traded, i will def attend, and maybe compete depending on what i get. LOL

**Seymour222** · 09-10-2009, 12:31 AM

Out of curiosity...what kind of times does anyone think one would need to run to be competitive in the street class? 1.12.00??? I have NO idea.

**siegelracing** · 09-15-2009, 01:21 PM

There are only two spots left in street and a few more than that in small bore. If you want to make sure you can run in class, please register soon. You can always run up a class, but not down.

Siegel

**Doppelgänger** · 09-15-2009, 02:45 PM

Dammit, I don't have any street tires worth a damn.

So if we submitted registration information, how/when will we know if we are in or not?

**Chuckster** · 09-16-2009, 10:26 PM

If anyone would like a passenger for the drive down, hit me up. My car is not track worthy I just want to watch.

**Elbow** · 09-18-2009, 01:37 PM

Looks like I won't be making it now.
