Awesome, I'm in!!!

My one suggestion would be to consider making the treadwear minimum in "Sporty" be 140 as well, since that is kind of the benchmark rating for many of the popular tires the usual enthusiast would have on their car- i.e. Bridgestone RE-01R and RE-11, Dunlop Direzza Z-1, Kumho XS, Yokohama AD-08, etc. It is my opinion that the type of enthusiast who would bring his car out to a Time Attack, even his street car, is likely on those sort of tires already. Just my $.02....

All the tires you listed are 180 treadwear and higher

on a side note, when will we be seeing some action on the west coast?

Alright Sharif, now all you have to do is offer the TA Street and Mod winners a session in the FP 370 and the Track (optional Unlimited) winner(s) a session in the GTR.

Hey Sharif-

I have been trying to sign up. However, I wanted to sign up just for TGPR at this time and take a look at schedule and budget for Roebling in a few weeks. It won't let me register for just one of the events as far as I can tell. Also, when I hit "add to cart", it does... well, nothing. I tried reloading the page as well as switching browsers but I can't make it do anything. Is it me? I would not discount the possibility...

Another question......cats required for two street classes? Also, does the exhaust have to exit behind the rear axle or can cars run a dump or side exit?

Correcting this now...I appologize. The images were too large and it messed up the shopping cart. Hang tight for a moment. We will have one listing for TGP, and one listing for Roebling.

Cats are not required. TGP has no sound restrictions, but Roebling does...104DB which is pretty darn loud, but just letting you all know. There is usually one or two cars each weekend that get booted for being too loud.

OK, so maybe I just fail at internetting... but now that I can choose TGPR by itself, I can't seem to find the sat & sun option, or rent the transponder. Tell me what I be doing wrong?

It's not you. I'm actually taking care of the issue and should have it resolved soon. Our shopping cart started acting buggy recently. If anything, give us a call at 770-792-0202 and we can get you set up over the phone. Sorry for the inconvenience

Just read this part:

*At the discretion of Forged Performance certain “Super-Cars” will not be eligible for Sporty. This will apply to cars that have “Super-Car” levels of performance from the factory, such as modern Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Z06 Vette’s, GT-R’s, etc.

Would that include my car since I run the same times as lightly prepared Z06's and GT3s?

Yes would have to evaluate your car, but most likely would get a bump up. Is that ok with you?

I have a feeling I would be in Unlimited, which at Roebling might be ok, but anything like VIR or RA I would be left hopelessly behind.

I don't think a bump to unlimited would be appropriate. But we'll handle you on a special basis. Because you are special.
