newbie questions
« on: July 26, 2020, 05:46:05 AM »
hey i got a question, i know my cars  not going to be ready for august and im coming anyway. 2 things id like to know about, 1 i was reading on a facebook group that spectators arent allowed in the  pits (seriously?). and 2 it had been suggested that i volunteer to work the event (which im totally down for).
any clarification on these 2 issues would be much appreciated

access to the pits  with a pit pass   virtually unlimited access in the past do not know C-19 rules or practacies

years ago I started out volunteering as a course steward -- I would start here -- they can use you very little to no experience needed

 afterward for many years as I  built my lakester or wasn't running car inspector and they have provisions for working in new folks at that

all depends how long you are going to be there and your experience---contact in advance or in person at the trailers on site

See my post - pit pass is free after you sign the waiver.

Yea... well that's after you pay $5 to sign the waiver... and you should be a BNI member if you were even considering racing... so your entry pass was included with your membership.  If not... $50 gets you through the gate for the week...
