The participants in the event are divided into three (3) run groups (A for advanced, B and C for
intermediate groups) based upon both track experience and car capabilities.  A maximum of 80 cars
are entered in the event (30 in A and 25 each in B and C).  Note that the qualifications,
experience and passing rules are identical for both groups B and C.  This limited number of vehicles
means that there will be minimal track congestion, which usually translates into a safer track day
and more track miles.

The track facility will open its gates at 7:00 AM for access to the paddock.  The first scheduled
track session will begin at 9:00 AM, and the track will be closed to participants at 5:00 PM.  Our
schedule will proceed as follows:
