The Triple Track Showdown (TTS) combines drag racing, parking lot autocross, and road course events to determine a winner in each class based on a combined score. No two drivers are allowed in the same car for the TTS. TTS tech takes place during Saturday morning's autocross between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM; bring a Snell 2015+ helmet for road course tech at the same time. Mandatory TTS driver's meetings are held for Saturday Autocross (Saturday at 8:30 AM under the bridge), TTS/Drag Racing (Saturday at 3:00 PM behind the Condos), Sunday's HPDE (Sunday at 8:30 AM in the Road Course Paddock), and Sunday's Standing Start Shootout (Sunday at 1:30 PM in the Road Course Paddock). TTS driving times include Saturday's Autocross (competing with class groups), Saturday Drag Runs from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Drag Strip, Sunday Road Course (two assigned sessions during Sunday morning HPDE, or four sessions with a SuperSize TTS registration), and Standing Start Runs beginning at 2:00 PM on the Road Course. Multiple event registrations are possible, but be aware of potential overlaps that may reduce track time.
