This program is designed for those seeking additional seat time for driver improvement, vehicle and chassis tuning, and for those who want more practice time on the Pitt Race circuit prior to a race event. This program permits advanced passing rules in order to maximize the use of time spent on the track, and it is also a great opportunity to shake down your car or test for an upcoming race.
Open wheel cars are permitted in certain Test & Tune events. Please see Motorsportreg.com for class listings. No instructor feedback will be offered by Pitt Race.
Once the Pitt Race officials know the number and types of cars coming, they will divide the cars into groups of similar configurations and performance. The goal is to give every team and driver as much track time as possible. Pitt Race reserves the right to modify the run groups at any time during the day.
Registration and payments can be completed at Motorsportreg.com. Pricing will vary by length of event and track configuration but generally starts at $200. There will be full and/or half day events. See Motorsportreg.com for date specific schedules.
