The final round of the NATA Championship takes place on October 12-15 during the Tire Track SCCA Time Trials Nationals Presented by Hagerty at NCM Motorsports Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
In reply to bumpsteer :
It's tough to argue against that, based on the results from the Gridlife Midwest event. Feras was nearly 9 seconds faster than the rest of the field. However, at the first round of NATA, Global Time Attack's Super Lap Battle hosted by CoTA, he had only a .5 second advantage over second-place.
