In a first for Altamont competition, no qualifying will take place, with Saturday’s 20 lap heat race grids being set in order of registration. Drivers will then compete hard during their heat race, as they jockey for a better starting spot in Sunday’s features.
Sunday’s feature line-up will be set by the finishing order of the heats.

The weekend’s festivities will also feature a healthy mix of spectator activities, including a classic car show on Sunday, live music both days, food vendors, and a chance to meet and sign autographs with Bo Hopkins, star of “American Graffiti.”
Past and current racing champions will also sign autographs all weekend. In addition, raffle prizes and programs will be offered.

[color=darkred]FYI, the Enduro will be on the road course, top 5 from Saturday can run their car with a different driver on Sunday. 100 entry (in advance) covers both days but will need to purchase a pit pass seperately each day. Also the transponders are extra.
Looks like the Noceti group is planning on a 3 race series with some type of recognition at the end of the year. This is as close to a series as we have been wanting for years, lets support it and help them be successful which in turn will make it even stronger in the future.
