Alright folks. We have pivoted away from doing a dedicated hat race event to an open (still a rental) Test & Tune. BUT, we will still be doing the 10" class within it, run by BOTTLEFED BOTTLEFED.

This will be like our traditional T&T events of yesteryear. All the runs you want until 4:30, with stoppages to allow for the 10" class to do their thang.

$75 per racer (multiple cars per owner, please contact me prior to paying). This is a T&T event, race all day and for free at night when the track opens to the public. PayPal preferred but Venmo also accepted.

If joining the 10" class, $200 total (see post #2).


REQUIRED INFO: First & Last Name, TCG user name (if applicable), car you are racing.

ALL MONEY MUST BE SENT VIA FRIENDS AND FAMILY. If you fail to do any of the above, you will be refunded.






NO refunds.

TCG returns to GLD on Friday, October 4th, for a day filled with racing and more importantly, the friends we make along the way. Like our Spring event, the race details themselves will be put together by BOTTLEFED BOTTLEFED and Teege24 Teege24. This will be another class racing event (3 classes likely), with no current plans for open T&T (that can change at any time, however). We are currently finalizing the classes and the event as a whole and hope to open up registration by July. As usual, spectating will be 100% free.
LOLOLOL! I love it!
