***SPECIAL RUN GROUPS – Due to and subject to participation commitments, please confirm if you would like to participate in either of these dedicated run groups:

- X: Vintage Racing – we plan to offer a vintage racecar only “test-n-tune” group on all three days with enough participation support. Please confirm you would like to run in this group (eligibility required – car & driver) in addition to selecting A or I run group.
- W: Women’s Only – Due to popular request, we are offering a Women’s only NOVICE / INTERMEDIATE group. Please confirm you would like to run in this group (eligibility required – car & driver) in addition to selecting C or D Run Group

NOTE: If you are “waitlisted”, register anyway as you are very likely to get accepted into event in your requested group. Do NOT sign up for an open group as this will just delay placement. Thank you!
