The next "Big Thing" in automotive lifestyle and motor sports events! The Redline Time Attack brings the full throttle excitement of time attack racing, popular in Japan and Europe, to the shores of North America. Redline is the first sanctioned time attack series open to the general public.

Going into the 2008 season, NOPI Drag Racing begins a new chapter with a merger with the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). This new series is called "NOPI Drag Racing sanctioned by the NHRA". NOPI Drag Racing's Pro classes have quarter mile times the range from 9 seconds to 6 second passes.

The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) is in its 5th full season with its Time Trial Program. Last year, they had 10 NASA regions with full participation and one with partial participation, with over 725 drivers nationwide.  For 2008, they expect to have full participation from our eleven NASA regions, with over one hundred eighty events nationwide.  They will be having their third annual National Championship event at the Mid Ohio Sports Car Course on September 11-14, where they will crown the National  TT Champions.  

NASA TT utilizes a car classification system that is easy to understand, and gives HPDE-4 drivers a taste of competition by allowing them to compete for top lap times, in open passing run sessions, against similarly prepared cars for awards, prizes, and recognition. In total, there are nine Time Trial classes, including one unlimited, two semi-unlimited, and six limited classes.  Each region has its own Regional Championship Series that awards regional champions, and qualifies drivers to become eligible to compete at the NASA National Championships at Mid-Ohio.  Awards are usually provided to our top-level finishers at each of the regional events.
