Attention Improved Touring drivers!

St. Louis Region SCCA is proud to present the first ever G.R.I.T. Championship series to be held at Gateway Motorsports Park in 2012. This special IT-only series is designed to recognize our talented IT drivers and encourage regional competition. In addition to the excitement of competing for a championship title, participating drivers will also receive additional track time at the Gateway races and other perks.

Schedule: The G.R.I.T. Championship consists of four races, held during the two regularly scheduled St. Louis SCCA race weekends. Combined with the regularly scheduled regional races, IT drivers will have the opportunity to compete in three races each weekend at GMP!

Race 1 – May 19: Saturday Bonus race. All IT drivers registered for the Saturday Regional race are automatically entered in a free bonus race, which will be the last session of the day. Qualifying position will be based on the fastest lap from the regular regional race.

Race 2 – May 20: The regularly scheduled IT Tour race on Sunday May 20th will count for G.R.I.T. points in addition to MiDiv IT Tour points.

Race 3 – July 28: The Gateway DASH will return Saturday July 28 and in addition to the usual cash awards, all IT participants will score G.R.I.T. points based on their finishing position in class. This race is a handicapped “Australian Pursuit” style event and will surely keep the chase interesting!

Race 4 – July 29: The final race of the G.R.I.T. series will be the regularly scheduled IT Tour race. Shortly after the conclusion of this race, the champions will be crowned in a special ceremony.

Eligibility: All Improved Touring classes (ITR, ITS, ITA, ITB, ITC, ITE, IT7) are eligible, and all racers in these classes are automatically entered in the G.R.I.T. Championship. There is no additional charge to participate and no restriction on region or division of record.

Points: Points will be scored in the usual way with the top ten positions scoring 12, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points in each race. Ties will be broken by fastest lap times during a series race, then second fastest, etc, as needed.

Other: G.R.I.T. Championship points and awards are in addition to, and independent of, any points accrued in other series. The Sunday IT Tour races will score points toward the MiDiv IT Tour Championship as usual. G.R.I.T. is administered by St. Louis Region SCCA and is independent of any national or divisional series.

STUDENTS:

Where else can you go to progress from Novice to full Regional License in one combined weekend event? On top of that, you will have the opportunity to race your own instructor on Sunday! What better way to evaluate your progress and performance than to compare on-track advancement against your instructor!

But the best reason to attend our school: we are going to help you understand HOW to drive fast; WHY you should do what we suggest you do. Others will just tell you to drive a certain line, brake at a certain point, follow the leader.

EVERY STUDENT will receive a 50% off certificate for your initial order of up to four sets of COBALT RACING BRAKES, courtesy of Cobalt Friction Technologies.

IN ADDITION, we will have drawings for TWO FULL SETS of COBALT BRAKES for all entered STUDENTS. Two of you will walk away with Cobalt brakes that, depending on the car and application, could be worth as much as your weekend entry!

INSTRUCTORS:

We need your help to make this the best school possible. We need your help to teach our students how to become race drivers.

EVERY INSTRUCTOR will receive a 50% off certificate for your initial order of up to four sets of COBALT RACING BRAKES, courtesy of Cobalt Friction Technologies.

IN ADDITION, we will have drawings for TWO FULL SETS of COBALT BRAKES for all entered INSTRUCTORS.

ALSO, all Graduating Students and Instructors entered in Sunday’s races will have an exclusive Saturday afternoon practice.

DRIVERS:

Sunday Double Regional – two races, one morning and one afternoon. Race to maintain your license; use track time for practice and tuning opportunities; at least four on-track sessions for Sunday.

IN ADDITION, all entered Drivers will receive a 50% off certificate for your initial order of up to four sets of COBALT RACING BRAKES, courtesy of Cobalt Friction Technologies.

RENTAL CARS:

Whether you have a race car to rent for the weekend, or you want to rent a race car, help us create a Rental Car database. Email STLDSR@yahoo.com with your need to rent or your rental car availability, with contact info and car type/class. We will assemble the information and post it at roadracing.stlscca.org so we can bring both sides together.
