FAST FACTS
ON-TRACK
During a "all things SCCA" weekend, drivers will tackle multiple configuration of Pittsburgh International Race Complex in conjunction with an SCCA Road Race. Time Trial drivers will vie for the best single lap during multiple Time Attack lapping sessions and combine that with a furious no-endurance needed point-to-point TrackSprint event. The best times from each will be combined to determine finishing order with the top five overall and top three in each class standing on the KONI Podium and taking home the trophies.
