Coneheads Practice and Sports Car Spectacular August 11-12

Come out for some serious seat time at Sanderson Field in Shelton August 11-12 (see directions link at left if you haven't been there).

Saturday will be the Coneheads practice, with a Test-n-Tune format similar to last year's version: element runs (slalom one end, sweepers the other) in the morning, combined into a full course for the afternoon.  A great way to scrub in new tires and/or test new setup tweaks and/or get used to a car.  Or just plain get a lot of seat time to improve your driving.  There will be one Registration/Tech period, 8 to 9 a.m. Saturday.  Element runs will start at 10 a.m. and we'll break for lunch at 12:15 (each half of the morning participants will run for an hour and work for an hour).  For the afternoon we'll break into two groups and take runs of the full course, with 2 sessions of no more than 90 minutes each, depending on turnout, weather, and participant preferences. 

Entry fee for Saturday is $30 pre-registered, $35 walk-up.  Pre-registration deadline is Thursday 9pm.

Sunday will be Event #5 in the 2018 WWSCC series, the all-Council Sports Car Spectacular.  NOTE: On Sunday all points classes will run in the morning, including both Stock and non-Stock groups.  If you aren't running the series for points, but want to run in the morning, you can pick a class your car generally fits into, run a Pro class, or just run Modified B (or Mod A if you're open-wheel).

Morning registration and tech on Sunday will be 8:00-9:00; the afternoon (all Time-only, and subject to sufficient interest) will be "fun run" style.  Morning classes will be grouped into 2 or 3 sessions, depending on turnout.

Entry fee for Sunday is $30 pre-registered, $35 walk-up.  Pre-registration for Sunday will close Friday night at 6pm. 

Use the Registration link at left or go here to sign up for either event or both.
