crewing for the weekend , couple q's

1-whats the cut-off time for entering , I will plan on ten o'clock arrival cause I'm just backup - is this too late to get in on the list?

2-parking , am I going to get access to the paddock to park by the cars as I will have tools/supplies in my car just in case we need something

3-the list , every driver gets 4 crew members , at the gate the list is open
when its full is that it , or should the names be given prior? say friday eve.

thanks guys - Jamie

 

come on , anyone?????

 

every driver gets 5 crew members!! think you can get in anytime you want....at GATE 2!!!

do a search it's in here somewhere....not sure where....
i started teh thread soooo...

 

saw the thread , but I want to make sure I can get in the paddock for parking cause I'm coming down with alot of crap for a couple people

thanks chad

 

Gate 2? Donde Esta Gate 2? Is this the first gate you come up on but drive past when heading up to the track that has all the BSR cars parked behind it?

Also, if we can get in anytime does this include 2am friday night?

 

gates close at 10pm

and I need to know where gate 2 is also

 

But Chad Sez....

Which is it?

 

I am somehow getting more confused as this conversation goes on and on

 

Yeah me to... i just called Chris but looks like he done left for the weekend...

 

You cannont get in after 10 pm, I read Last, and I would believe it.. I am sure crew can park with drivers.. Or would hope too...

 

I am posting under Chris' name.....he has already arrived at the track.
He has spoken with the track and here is the situation regarding parking. If you are a racer, car show participant, or vendor, you will be allowed entry into the main paddock for parking. If you are one of the five crew for racers or are on the VIP list, you may be able to drive into and park in the main paddock area if you get there early enough. (This probably means early Friday evening). Once the open parking spaces are full in the main paddock, crew and VIP people will park in the carousel and main areas and ride the shuttles that will be available. I know at SCCA races, the Summit Point person who checks pit passes has usually not let cars in the paddock without a pass even if they say they are just dropping off equipment, so be prepared for a "no". Please remember that this is a joint event in which the gates, security, etc. are controlled by Summit, and this is the first time for this sort of event. Remember, the earlier you arrive, the better!
Looking forward to seeing everyone, and this may be my last post before I go. Let's have some fun! Stop by the Cobetto trailer and say hi!

P.S. Since 99% of the spectators and 75% of the car show entrants probably won't arrive until Saturday morning, it may not be too difficult to get into the main paddock area on Friday evening. If the paddock guard won't let your car in, and you can't find your racer, come find me in my silver Honda CRV and we will go get your tools and stuff. I am pretty sure they will let me drive my vehicle anywhere....but you never know!

You can't even bribe him with beer!

 

Hrmm... Looks like i might be dropping my car off tomorrow morning before work then.... dammit dammit dammit...

 

so can you get a pit pass from this "dude" on friday night or what

I just think that this sucks , having to run around and not being able to park in the paddock , everyone should be able to park the needed cars / tools / parts in the given area
only 5 people max per car , should be no more than 5 cars , easily done with some planning

SO thats it , I have to park and shuttle crap to and from my car and move thru 10,000 people QUICKLY if need be ?

hmmmm......this is not going to be fun

 

Update: Crew should not have a problem getting their stuff to the racer's area in the paddock as long as they are there Friday night or EARLY Saturday morning. (This means prior to 7:30). Worst case scenario is that you will have to park your car in the grassy area just outside the main paddock area. When you talk to the guard at the main paddock, let him know you are crew for whomever, and as long as you are on the driver's list and you arrive Friday night or EARLY Saturday morning, he should let you through to at least drop off the stuff and come back out and park your car on the grass.

And no, there is not enough room in the paddock for the racer, and five crew cars to park in the paddock. There will be vendors, show cars, workers, and racers parked throughout the paddock.

If you are a worker, and your name is on the worker list, you will be able to park your car in the worker section in the main paddock.

Hope this helps.
