Our monthly Grand Prix Tournament races take place the second Thursday of each month.
Every driver competes in a minimum of 2 races, each race includes a combined practice and the qualifying session followed by a race.
The grid for each race is determined using the Pill Draw system that is common in circle track racing where each driver pics a ball out of a bucket, the number on that ball determines which race you are in and who your fellow competitors are.
Points are awarded for each drivers finishing position, Pro/Am drivers (a racer who has won a previous Tournament) points are handicapped, Novice drivers (racer who has not won a previous tournament) are awarded full points. After 2 races all driver points are added, the 6 racers with the highest point totals go in to the Final race. The racer with the highest points total after the Final race is the night's winner.
The winner, second place and third place will be awarded a purse consisting of cash and prizes.
All tournaments will be "blind", the track will be announced in advance but the cars being raced will not be announced until the Drivers Meeting. Additionally, all racers will compete in the same make and model of car.

Thursday, April 10th
Long straight aways for high speed, big elevation changes, smooth flowing corners and tons of passing zones make Virginia International Raceway (VIR) one of the most popular tracks in the United States. This month it is home for our Thursday Night Grand Prix, also this month we are paying tribute to the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), each car raced in the tournament will be a SCCA class car.
Monthly Time Attack Challenge
Each month we host a Time Attack Challenge, every driver must drive the same car at the same track. The driver who sets the fastest lap by the end of the month wins a $100 prize package.
There are a few car companies that take racing serious, Porsche takes the seriousness to another level. The car we are racing in our Time Attack in April is the 908/3, this short, almost square shaped car was developed specifically for a couple of key track where a very nimble car was needed. For us, we will be racing it on one of those tracks, Circuito Dos Cristais. A 2.75 mile long track with 17 corners.
Beat the Race Director
Racers are always asking to race against our Race Director, so let's do it!
The first Wednesday of each month simply come in and say that you want to race the Race Director. If you win you win a Yellowstone Grand Prix prize package.
Track and cars being raced will be the choice of the Race Director.
Race fee is our normal $12 per race.
Bathurst King of the Mountain

Mount Panorama or Bathurst is the most iconic and historic track in Australia. The track which races up and over a mountain has been a staple on the endurance race calendar for decades, it's time that we race there.
The cars we will be racing are the Brazilian Stock Car series Toyota and Chevy cars. While they don't run these cars here in real life they are very well suited for this track.
