2022 Runoffs Report - August 26 (Drivers)

It’s time for your weekly update on Runoffs news and information.

Navigating VIR with Blayze (formerly Racers360)

“Blayze is the single best investment I made in trying to go faster" - Ben (a fellow grassroots racer).  Looking to go fast at VIR this year?  Blayze’s custom coaching packages are engineered to drop personal bests on the field at the Runoffs.

Blayze coaches will help show up ready to rock with pre-race weekend prep help.  Find speed from one day to the next with same-day coaching sessions and on-site support throughout the week! 

Best news yet is these packages engineered to help you find serious speed throughout the race week will cost you less than one single tire.  They also come back with a "we'll help you find speed" money-back satisfaction guarantee.   Spots are limited to claim your pro coach for the Runoffs, click here today.

Once spots run out for the race week packages above, we will have the option for "last minute coaching" on site for those that miss out on the chance to have a dedicated coach for race week. 

For $50 you can get 15 minutes with a pro coach.  Drivers can schedule their sessions on site when they arrive during race week.  Drivers can also use that $50 to put toward upgrading to a Blayze+ full year membership. (link: https://blayze.io/blayze-plus)

ICYMI: Test Day Grouping Change
As we noted in June (https://www.scca.com/announcements/409-different-timing-line-restart-procedures-highlight-22-runoffs-supps), the Saturday Test Day groupings would likely change as entries came in and we approached the event. We planned for five (5) groups all along, and the Race Director has now split Group 1 (which had B-Spec, EP, FP, HP, GTL, SM, STL, T3 and T4) into two groups because it was full and wait-listed. The revised Test Day Schedule is here: https://www.scca.com/downloads/62325-2022-runoffs-test-day-schedule-web. We now have no groups on Saturday that are currently at the 40-car capacity. You may add test days by editing your registration. Anyone on the wait list for Saturday, Group 1 has been added to the appropriate group.
