2012 contingencies

  

 

On-demand video exposure isn't the only big drawcard to the North American Road Racing Association's two national series, the US GT Championship and Whelen US TimeTrial Championship. Open to high-end, high-performance GT cars, the two championships-- one for wheel-to-wheel road racing, the other time-attack-- are paying out big in the form of impressive contingencies from Cool Shirt, Hoosier Racing Tire, GoPro, Moton Suspension, Sunoco Race Fuels and Teamtech. 

 

In the US GT Championship alone, a staggering 11 different individuals have won free Hoosier Racing Tires after only two race weekends. 

 

The statistic not only speaks volumes on the generosity of NARRA's contingency program but the competitive nature of the series and its even playing-field-- thanks in part to simple rules and four power-to-weight based classes. 

 

Really proving that NARRA winners will be grinners this season one of those individuals, triple race winner and GT-1 competitor Frank Lussier, has already netted himself one and a half sets of free tires. 

 

Up to $200,000 worth of contingencies will be awarded during the 2012 US GT and Whelen US TimeTrial championships from Hoosier, GoPro, Moton, TeamTech Cool Shirt, Moton and Sunoco.  

 

NARRA's partnership with Sunoco is benefiting competitors in a number of other ways, too. As Official Fuel, Sunoco Race Fuel is now available at every NARRA event, giving racers guaranteed access to a consistent and reliable fuel supply throughout the season while eliminating the risk involved with hauling high volumes of fuel to events. 

 

First and second place round winners in all classes, in both the USGTC and USTTC, are awarded free Hoosier racing tires, Cool Shirt and Moton Suspension gift certificates. Sunday first and second place class finishers receive Sunoco gas cards. 

 

The TT and GT class champions will receive a complete Cool Shirt 'club' system, a GoPro Hero 2 camera, and a Teamtech six-point harness. Moton is further giving first, second and third in the championship vouchers worth $500, $300 and $200. 

 

With such a grand offering it's no wonder in-excess of one hundred cars competed at NARRA's recent Road Atlanta event. 

 

The number of entries is quickly growing, too, for next week's rounds 5 and 6 of the US GT and Whelen US TT championships at Road America. The May 11-13 event will feature the SRT Viper Cup series and US Performance Driver Education track-day program, open to all high-performance road cars, and Friday will coincide with last circuit based competition stages of the 2012 Tire Rack Brock Yates' One Lap of America.

About the North American Road Racing Association:

 

NARRA has been America's home for high-end, high-performance cars for over 18 years, and solely focuses on GT styled sports cars. Catering to every skill level, from novice to pro, NARRA allows participants to rise through its own ranks, from the US Performance Driver Education program to the Whelen US TimeTrial and US GT championships. Many NARRA events also feature the SRT Viper Cup Series presented by Pennzoil Ultra. NARRA specializes in developing, sanctioning and operating racing series for car clubs and manufacturers. The competition at a NARRA event is only matched by the camaraderie. Weekends are extremely social, with Friday night welcoming parties and Saturday banquets.

The USPDE is a highly regarded driving school, as perfect for race track first-timers as it is for experienced track-day drivers. Classroom sessions teach informative curriculum, while instructors experienced with high-horsepower cars guide students around the track from the passenger seat. Many instructors are current or former semi-pro and pro racers.

Bridging the gap between driver-ed and wheel-to-wheel racing, the Whelen USTTC offers drivers a national time-trial championship with contingencies, trophies and exposure equal to any racing series. The series attracts top tuning houses and time-attack teams from across the country because of its high-level competition, and no-holds-barred unlimited class.

Fielding as many as 47 cars in 2011, the USGTC is rapidly becoming the largest high performance GT racing series in the USA. Amateur and semi-pro drivers race against the might of professional drivers and factory teams for glory, contingencies and exposure. Cars are placed in to four classes based on power-to-weight ratio, including an unlimited class allowing the country's fastest cars to compete.
