wm577 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I know most racers don't bother with TT, but can someone race in a road race class, and TT in the same car? ...is there a rule about this? ...if not, should there be a rule? They would only have to go out with the TT group just 1 time to get times in for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Greg does it and I plan on doing it as well in 2006. I plan to only do 1 or 2 TT Sessions a day plus my Race Sessions, but I believe Greg does as many sessions as he can.

National Staff Greg G. Posted December 28, 2005 National Staff Share Posted December 28, 2005 Racers are welcome in TT provided they "behave", and, of course, pay the extra registration fees. It's a great way to get more track time, especially when you are at an unfamiliar track. And, it provides another level of competition. Racers need to remember that although this is an open passing run group, and our format is similar to a race qualifying session, our on-track cooperation and etiquette is far above what is required for racing. As well, if a driver goes four wheels off or spins in a session, he loses all times from that session. While racing is a 10-11/10 activity, TT is really driving at 9-9.5/10, but attempting to find open track and the TT line to make up for the difference in intensity. I almost always have my fastest lap times of the day during the race (or race qualifying), unless we have a "TT Shootout" with a pre-grid, when you can be relatively sure that you will have open track where you don't have to worry about being perceived as being "wild or dangerous", or scaring other drivers. Most of the drivers in TT have never raced before, so a racer's perception of dangerous can be different than the average TT/HPDE4 driver's perception. And, therefore, it's important for racers to be on their best behavior if they want to run in these sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Walt ran TT with us last year so well...he's already scared us all. Good luck with HC and hope to see you in some TT sessions still. - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
