Racerboy Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi all, I am a new member and I was reading the rules in TT and I wanted to know if you can go out and run the fastest lap I think I did and come in and not complete the rest of the laps. Example: 30 laps and I think I ran my fastest on the 6th lap. can I come in and not be penalized for not finishing all laps? ( trying to keep costs of tires,pads and fuel down) How to trophies work: (NOT SAYING I WILL GET ONE) Thanks, Aaron Quine OH/IN Region 87 Corvette TTA #121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchntx Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I can only speak for the Texas region ... But, I don't care how many laps you run in a session. FTD wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racerboy Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thank you, I hope someone will chime in from my region and let me know. Aaron Quine #121 OH/IN Region 1987 Corvette TTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmike1 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 well i run in the Midwest region, ( Lawrence M), and thats exactly what i did, when i would get a Clear track ahead, and get a couple good hot laps in, i would come in before my session was over. AND, there was a time i was busy with my student, ( i am an instructor) and i missed one of the TT sessions totally, i still had the FASTEST time i did all day count. so, even if you quit early, to conserve the car, i believe all the laps you did complete, count.

Racerboy Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thanks Mike, Thats sounds good to me concidering the cost of tires, race fuel, pads and etc. I don't have any sponsors and don't own any oil stocks either, so you know where I am coming from. Thanks for the info and hope to meet you at Putnum if you are coming. Aaron Quine #121 OH/IN 1987 Corvette TTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAC Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Fastest time of the day wins in every region AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some tracks I know during the middle of the day, that I will not go out, because my times will be slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCBCPA Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Aaron, you will see guys out for every possible minute for the seat time and other who will go out for only a few laps. You will see the guys testing different lines for the best times and guys working on different set up. Four of us in Pit/Grid race in TT and we take turns as far as going on track. My son is in HDPE 3 and uses the same car I race, so I am not usually out for full session to save the car. It is up to the driver. Have fun!

jp99gt Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Aaron, You can go our for as much or as little of a session as you wish. In theory, you could roll the car out, run 3 laps (1 warm up, 1 full hot lap, and your cool down lap) and win your class if your hot lap is the fastest in your class. And in the OH/IN region, it is fastest lap of the weekend, not of each day. We do have special TT events where that rule isn't followed, but the event schedule will make that clear.
