We are heading for Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, NV. and will be driving their all new state of the art Hunt 3 mile Course. Pahrump is just a short hop, hop a skip and a jump from So Cal and not much further than to Buttonwillow, and if you have a hankering Las Vegas is less than an hour away.
This event will feature both a Grand Prix Region Driver's Education (DE) and a San Diego Region Time Trial (TT), with separate run groups for each event and different entrant requirements (DE has minimal driving prerequisites and the TT does). There is separate registration for the Time Trial available at http://msreg.com/SMMR15
The DE Run Group is for drivers of all levels and has no official timing, though in-car timers are currently permitted except for novices. Qualified DE drivers may also optionally participate in Timed Runs at the end of the event.
As there is only one DE Run Group sharing a car within this run group is not possible. However, if two drivers wish to share a car, one may sign up for the DE and the if the other is eligible for the Time Trial they may sign up for that event at the link above.
The Fees for both the DE and TT for 2 Days is $270.00 1 Day is $195.00 REGISTRATION AFTER FEBRUARY 13, 2015 is an additonal $50.00
