Directions:

You'll make a left at the intersection to get to this area instead of making a right to get to paddock. You should see the access roads off to your left you can use to find a spot.

Please have them park near the campers or in the space between the VDA and the south paddock. Like others, they are permitted to offload what they might need for the day, but we will ask them to move their vehicles
When You Arrive:
- Tech - After car preparation (no loose objects, numbers on car, helmet in car), please drive through the "tech" line which is located near the grid or trailer. A tech worker will assist in having your car and helmet inspected. If you have a co-driver, have them come along with you with their helmet. If you do not have a helmet, Pitt Race has rentals for $10 at the Pro Shop onsite
- Waivers/Check-In - There are also workers in the "tech line" that will check you in and have you sign a waiver. You will not need to come to the trailer to check-in, this is done as part of tech.
- Course Walks - There will be an announcement in the morning once the course is open for walking. There are also guided intermediate (9:10am) and novice (9:20am) walks in the morning as well. If you are a novice, you MUST attend the novice walk as they will go over some key items such as course and safety etiquette.
- Driver's Meeting - There will be a brief driver's meeting around 9:30 to 9:40 to cover important updates (including any changes to logistics, such as work assignments), and safety items.
