The race
A Thanksgiving weekend endurance competition with a twist
Drivers qualify individually, and teams are created based on qualifying performance. The fastest qualifier is paired with the slowest, the second fastest with the second slowest, and so on. Each driver races their own car as teammates combine their efforts to complete 100 laps. Winning requires speed, consistency, teamwork, and smart race strategy.
Race format
- Each team has two drivers, two individually registered cars and two unique transponders
- 100 combined team laps
- Only one team car on the track at a time
- Teams choose which driver starts
- Each driver completes at least 40 and no more than 60 laps
- Mandatory 15-second pit hold and car/driver exchange during the 40 to 60 lap window
- The remaining driver completes the race
- Teams are ranked by completion of 100 total laps and adjusted elapsed time
Step 1
How qualifying works
- Individual qualifying, one driver at a time
- Five-minute qualifying sessions
- Your score is the average of your best three consecutive laps
- Drivers are ranked fastest to slowest
- Teams are assigned after qualifying
Step 2
How teams are assigned
Pairing follows qualifying rank, separately in each division. Example with 12 drivers:
- Rank 1 + Rank 12
- Rank 2 + Rank 11
- Rank 3 + Rank 10
- Rank 4 + Rank 9
- Rank 5 + Rank 8
- Rank 6 + Rank 7
The same rule works for any even number of drivers. With an odd number, the unmatched driver is flagged for race director review.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to bring a teammate?
No. You register by yourself. Teams are created after qualifying, so you cannot choose your teammate when you register.
How are teams chosen?
Qualifying results decide it. The fastest qualifier is paired with the slowest, the second fastest with the second slowest, and so on. Pairing is done separately for each division.
What if there is an odd number of drivers in a division?
The unmatched driver is flagged for race director review. We do not automatically create a solo team or add a substitute driver.
Do I need two cars?
Each driver races their own car. Every car is registered individually and uses its own transponder, so a team has two cars and two transponders.
Which cars are legal?
The existing Full Throttle technical rules for each division apply. See the race classes page for specs, or ask us at the track.
Who starts the race?
The team chooses which driver starts. Each driver must complete at least 40 laps and no more than 60, and the car and driver exchange happens during the 40 to 60 lap window with a mandatory 15-second pit hold.
What does it cost to enter?
Entry is $25 for members and $30 for guests, per driver, for one division. Checking out on this page charges the guest price.
When are qualifying results and teams made public?
Only after race control reviews and approves them.
