Ozarks TTNT: Don’t Miss the Nürburgring of the Time Trials National Tour
The Tire Rack SCCA Time Trials National Tour Powered by Hagerty (TTNT) at Ozarks International Raceway is fast approaching (July 14-16, 2023, to be specific), and there’s zero reason why your name shouldn’t already be on the entry list.
For starters, this track in Gravois Mills, MO, is coo-coo bonkers, but in the best ways. It’s the type of track every driver dreams of, and probably the closest thing in North America to the vaunted German mecca of tracks, the Nürburgring. Ozarks International Raceway features 1,200 feet of elevation change, plus an amazing mix of fast sweepers and technical sections throughout the circuit’s four-mile-long lap. Then there’s the facility itself: The garages offer tons of covered space, while the paddock boasts a prodigious amount of room for even the biggest of tow rigs.
But we get it: You’re concerned. It’s big. And fast. And new.
This is where we come in. The Time Trials National Tour is THE best event to experience this epic track. Why? Three reasons will convince you:
1. As we mentioned in a recent article about Time Trial events vs. Track days, you have a better chance at getting clean laps at an SCCA Time Trials National Tour. That’s significant when learning a new track. There’s no better time to learn a new track than when traffic is actively managed.
2. SCCA’s Time Trials National Tour preaches teamwork, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing the folks you’re sharing the track with will all be on the same page. All Time Trials National Tour groups will have a coach acting as your tour guide, ensuring you’re in a position to succeed, regardless of how you measure success.
3. With SCCA Time Trials, the competition is your own. It’s you vs. you, first and foremost. The SCCA team always works with drivers to help make sure their “ambition doesn’t outrun their adhesion,” because we know the best trophy to leave with is the awesome vehicle you came with.
So come join the fun at Ozarks International Raceway on July 14-16, 2023, for the Time Trials National Tour. It’ll be all the incredible Time Trials National Tour things you’ve come to expect – awesome competition, good food (yummy BBQ on Saturday night!), and great friends – at a brand new, amazing, bucket-list track.
