For the first time ever, Spokes is hosting a track sprint event at Harris Hill Raceway!

Please read all of the info about the event and the registration requirements.

Event info
- What is a track sprint? This event is NOT an autocross. It is also NOT a track day. A track sprint involves running a portion of the track. We will set a designated standing start and finish, and run our cars between those points (no continuous hot laps). There will be no cones other than the ones used to mark the start and the finish.
- For this track sprint, we will be running in the counter clockwise direction (CCW) at Harris Hill, with the start just before T11, and the finish along the downhill run from T4 to T3.
- The expected speeds are going to be significantly higher than what we see at autocross events. At autocrosses, the speeds on the straights are 60-65mph, and the corners tend to be 25-35mph. At the track sprint, depending on the power level of your car, the speeds on the straights may be 90-100mph, and the corners are 40-60mph.
- Entry fees for this event are as follows
  - Spokes members: $80
  - Non members: $95

Working
- Because we will not have cones on course, we will only need a few worker positions in each heat: Starter, grid workers, computer, radio in the trailer, a couple of other radio workers. We will have more detail about this in the coming weeks.
Running
- We will be running 3 heats of ~75 minutes each (9:00 to 10:15, 10:30 to 11:45, 12:00 to 1:15), with 33-35 drivers in each heat.
- The number of runs will be determined by how the event is going, but the aim is to get 4 runs each.
- Going off the track will result in penalties.
  - 2 wheels off is a DNF.
  - If you go all 4 wheels off, you will lose one of your subsequent runs. If you go all 4 wheels off a second time, you are done for the event.
- Spins and flags
  - If you spin out, get yourself straightened out and get moving as quickly as possible. We will be sending cars every 25-30 seconds.
  - If you see a car spun out or off track ahead of you, slow down. You will get a re-run.
  - The flagging stations will have flaggers/workers in them. Pay attentions to the flaggers.
