Dexterity racing will take centre stage for the last time this month.
Saturday 29 November will see Time Attack 10 get underway courtesy of the Cayman Motorsports Association.
The race will be CMA’s 11th and final race of the year. It is the second race being put on this month.
Time Attack 9, which was scheduled for 1 November, was cancelled due to bad weather.
The group normally puts on time attack races at the end of each month.
As usual Jay Bodden’s property on Sparky Drive off North Sound Rd will be the home for loud exhausts and burnt rubber.
At press time the times for the event are not clear. However organizers have expressed a desire to wrap up earlier.
The times scheduled for Time Attack 9 called for racing to start at 7pm with sign-up on race day taking place at 5pm and the cut-off time at 6pm.
Cars are expected to be split into four different classes: front-wheel, rear-wheel and all-wheel drive plus unlimited.
Winners will be determined according to time, speed and skill points.
This month is still slated to see some big changes with the veteran core of competitors.
TA veteran Gary Huggins will not be competing this time around. Huggins received an injury recently that will require time away from the wheel.
Huggins won’t be too far from the engine bay however as he is reportedly rebuilding his engine for more power in time for next year’s races.
Andy Bodden is still set to be unveiling a new ride. Bodden is slated to race a modified Ford GT500 with new tires. The car is a customized Ford Mustang that makes some 500hp in stock form.
Bodden is known for racing Mitsubishis, in particular his white race-ready Mirage and occasionally Evolution IIIs.
Wayne Kikconnell will race his orange Nissan 350z for the last time this month. He is expected to build a new car to compete next year.
It is unclear what that car will be though speculation is it will be either a Honda Civic or another Nissan 350z.
Also Australian Sean O’Neil is slated to compete. O’Neil has used his modified Subaru Impreza to give TA veteran Keith P. Tibbetts III a run for his money in past events.
Last month saw the successful implementation of a corporate class. The Volvo S40 car which is used for that class is expected to be at this month’s event.
It’s not clear yet which companies, if any, will be involved for this event.
This month will also see women competing again. Among this month’s field will be Kim Huggins in a white Hyundai Accent and Vicki Hulse in her blue Mazda 3 sedan.
Marshals are expected to be out in force as usual with a scoring table and a DJ providing music.
The public is invited to attend and watch the action. Anyone can participate, provided they use their own vehicle and pay the entrance fee of CI$20.
Early registration and technical inspection for the race will be held on Friday 28 November at 7pm.
It’s not clear where the pre-race gathering will be held though Automotive Art on Shedden Road was set to be the venue for Time Attack 9. The establishment was the sight of last month’s pre-race crowd.
Cars will be expected to pass the technical inspection. This inspection is compulsory for all CMA-sanctioned races. It consists of checking the car’s components such as the suspension and brakes plus ensuring drivers use a three-point seat belt harness and street-legal tires.
As it is the last Time Attack event organizers are looking into having an additional social gathering some time after the race.
The ideas being tossed around include a motorcade, an after-party of some sort and a Sunday gathering in North Side.
