Blackhawk Farms Raceway Time Trials
For the 2025 Convention the driver gets the award not the car. The cars are all classed and the driver is placed in a run group that fits their experience. We will line them up based on historical lap times so we can run as many cars in a group as possible without interference from the car in front of them. Corner workers will keep an eye on this for a potential rerun.
Each driver that enters the time trial must be a paid registrant. ONLY paid Time Trial registrants are eligible for awards. To register the driver MUST be a member of AROC. A skilled friend driving another driver’s registered car is not considered eligible for the time trial. Every driver is provided a specific wristband at registration and checked at grid; so we have simple safeguards to prohibit “ringers”.
