Many competitors do Time Trials and autocrosses with the same car, making getting on track more accessible.
“The annual Time Trials Nationals at NCM Motorsports Park is the premier 51°µÍø Time Trials opportunity to further build the community while also competing at a great track, and our committee would like to thank the 51°µÍø Foundation for making these scholarships possible.”
The 51°µÍø Women on Track Time Trials Scholarship application deadline is June 20, 2023, with completed submissions to be reviewed by the 51°µÍø Women on Track Scholarship Committee.
