Pace American To Give Away Trailer To SCCA Racer

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Feb. 2, 2007) – Sports Car Club of America, Inc. and Pace American, Inc. announced today that Pace American, the Official Trailer of SCCA, will award a trailer valued at more than $14,000 to one lucky racer in 2007.

Awarding precision driving throughout the season and at Championship events, the Pace American Hot Pursuit Challenge will qualify 28 Soloists from the 2007 Tire Rack® SCCA Solo National Tour and National Championships and 25 drivers from the SCCA National Championship Runoffs® Presented by AT&T. Following the final qualifying session for the Runoffs on Oct. 11, one name from the qualified drivers will be drawn for the grand prize—a 2008 Pace Pursuit® trailer valued at more than $14,000.

“Pace American is excited to give something back to the SCCA members who have so loyally supported us during our first 20 years in business,” Pace American Marketing Manager Peter Calhoun said. “This truly is an award for all participants, as it does not matter where you finish.”

At each Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour event, as well as The Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships, the driver with the least time variance from their fastest run to slowest run on either course will be named the Pace Hot Pursuit Challenge event winner, taking home a Pace American eligibility certificate and earning a spot in the grand prize drawing.

Similarly, at the Runoffs, the driver with the least variance between their fastest three qualifying laps of the week from each class will earn an eligibility certificate for a spot in the grand prize drawing.

“Most contingency type awards are based on the quest of winning the competition,” SCCA VP of Marketing and Communications Eric Prill said. “We’ve worked with Pace American to develop a prize package that everyone competing in these events has an equal opportunity to win, regardless of if they traditionally finish at the top, middle or toward the bottom of the time sheets.”

To be eligible for the award, drivers will need to sign up for the Pace Hot Pursuit Challenge program and carry the required decals. Each driver will need to run their times within 120 percent of the leader or polesitter’s fastest time. A driver may only qualify once for the award.

Should the winner require a different layout trailer (gooseneck, multi-car, etc) or desire additional options, they may apply the value of the prize toward their purchase.

Registration details for the Pace Hot Pursuit Challenge will be available soon at www.scca.com.

Your time for the day needs to be less than 1.2 * FT in class. Which should be a cakewalk - that's 8 seconds on a 40 second course. :eek:

60 * 120% = 72.

So yeah, you need to be within 12 seconds of the class winner on your 60 second course.... that's going to be a lot of people eligible.

I second that sentiment. I do like the the way they're doing the contest though. Well thought.

OK - if it is by class it is really a non-issue. Probably just designed to stop people crawling around trying to get exactly matching times.
