2009 is the 18th year for Targa Sixty Six and we hope you can come out and join us. With HSR at Sebring the following weekend this is a great chance for you racers to get your cars set up for the coming season, lots of track time on a great new track. Non racers will love the new facility and the chance to run on a nice wide safe track.

In addition to our track time the Palm Beach Drivers Club has invited Targa members to join them for a chance to run under the lights Friday evening.

PBIR is now billiard table smooth and 40 feet wide. The IRL just sanctioned the track wich means Indy cars will be able to use it for testing. The back staight is now straight and most corners have ashphalt run off areas. 

More info and registration forms are at www.gorace.com

A member may bring as many cars as they like..2 family members may drive.

Targa Sixty Six was started in 1991 by Brian for owners of vintage and modern high performance and collector cars that do not necessarily wish to race them, but who like to drive at speed under controlled conditions, in the company of others with like interests.

At each event, the following are provided:
Three days of track use. Normal schedule is 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. (Members can expect to have 6-8 hours of track time each weekend-more if they feel up to it!)

Track marshals, EMS vehicle and staff.
Lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the track.
Saturday semi-formal (jacket and tie) evening dinner.
Driving instruction, if desired, is available from Brian or one of the other "pro's" in attendance.

Sometimes, we will have a guest speaker/instructor, past attendees have included: Bob Akin, David Hobbs, Augie Pabst, Hurley Haywood, Juan Manuel Fangio II, Derek Bell, Richard Attwood, David Piper, Bill Adam, David E.Davis, Leo Mehl, Stirling Moss, David Murry, John Paul. Jr.

Examples of members' cars include Ferrari: Daytona, 275 GTC, 512M, F40, F 50, 348, 355. Porsche: 962/956/917/910/550A/Speedster: Jaguar: "D" type, "E" type, XJR7. Chevron: B15/B20/B16/B19/ B21/B36.

Morris Mini Cooper "S", Fiat Abarth, Lotus Elan, Super 7, Elite: Ford GT40, Mk I, Mk IV, Mustang...... various modern street cars...

The cars are divided into three groups; each group gets 30 minutes running time in sessions. For example:

Group A, out at 9:30am:
Group B, 10:00:
Group C, 10:30 and so on.

A: High performance cars. IndyCars, IMSA cars, Ferrari F40, Ford GT40, Lola T70 etc.
B: Cars of a lower performance, or owners who wish to drive at a more moderate pace.
C: Cars which by virtue of their type and age are inherently slower: Mini Cooper, Fiat Abarth, Porsche 356, Lotus 7, MGB etc.

In all groups drivers must wear modern safety equipment. Approved 2-layer driver suit, helmet to Snell 1995 (or later) specification.

In all groups no restrictions are placed on speed or where you overtake.

Designated instructors only may go out in any group either as passenger or driver with two people in the car.

At the end of the day, from 4:30 to 5:00, passengers may be carried in cars equipped with safety harness on the passenger side and with the same roll bar protection as the driver. Safety helmets must be worn.

The success of the Club depends upon everyone conducting themselves to the highest standards of behavior. Both on -and off - the track!

$1,500 for the 3 day weekend...as many cars as you like..2 family members may drive...as little as $250 per person per day!!!!
