With three (weekend!) days to go, the top four spots are held by customers who are ineligible to win the January Challenge. There's still plenty of time to compete for free hours or - gasp - make it into the top spot!

TBZ Owner Brandon threw his hat in the ring for the December Challenge, setting a par time of 2:01.384 -- He says he did a 2:00 in practice, but spun early in his official run. If Brandon can do a 2:00, we think sub-2:00 is possible. It is up to our speedy customers to find out.

There's still two weeks to go in the November Hotlap Challenge. Practice is allowed this month, so come in and work on that lap time. It's proven to be a challenging car and track combination, and so some practice is actually recommended.
