Run Groups

Group A
Advanced
To participate in the Race Group you must have a valid competition license or must have participated in a previous Speed Trials race.  To be considered as having participated in the race, you must have completed at least one lap during the race.  Having previously practiced in Group A is not sufficient. If you don’t meet the previous requirement, you MUST register for a Private Driving Instructor and pay the associated fee of $20.
Group B
Intermediate
Drivers with more than four days of track experience and who are comfortable in a high-speed environment.
Group C
Beginner
Drivers with four or less days of track experience. Instruction will be available during your track time.

If two drivers wish to share a car in the same run group, they will be classified for the least experienced driver.  If two drivers of the same car want separate run groups, send two entry forms and pay two entry fees.
