In 2021 we have created a new Time Attack dedicated group, Speedy Goat Motorsports Club which will be hosting the 2021 Time Attack / Time Trials season. You will still see the same smiling faces, organizers, and volunteers committed to offering a complete Time Attack series. The new group will also promote alongside VCMC and UBCSCC in their lapping events.

Time Attack offers a safe environment for drivers looking to join a group of people who test both their personal limits and the limits of the car. We aim to create a constructive community for participants to work together and defeat the proverbial clock. Time Attack is also a logical choice for those who enjoy competing in auto-X, but would like a little more seat time per dollar.
