REGARDING ADJUSTMENTS:
- Pits will be on the asphalt area.
- Fixed weight bolts should be cut for safety prior to arriving if possible.
- Any bolts must be cut before racing starts.
- Bring any needed equipment and allow plenty of time if need be.
- Please bring any extra parts and spare brake pads that you may need. A limited number of brake pads will be for sale at the concession booth for $7.50.
- Adjustments are permitted between rounds. Please limit lubrication use to lighter fluid only. Oil attracts dirt and we have a very dusty environment. Lighter fluid use cannot be done between phases, only between rounds. Officials will clean wheels with extraordinary oil. Oil on spindles is not permitted and will be cleaned when reported.
- Cars can be covered in the pits and it is suggested to cover the weights in the pits to keep the seating area cool prior to the wheel swap.
- Weight adjustments can be made but as time allows. If weight adjustments are made, a total re-weigh with car and driver and tail weight will have to be performed.
SAFETY Please park your vehicles in the dirt lot and keep traffic aisles open.
Please do not park vehicles against the south side of the pits against the log barriers as it blocks the Emergency Vehicle land. It would be much appreciated if you would move your vehicle to the parking lot after unloading.
Races will be run in the weather as long as it is safe.
COMFORT FACTORS
