Facility and Event Details
The paddock is tight. Be aware as you swing your trailers and vehicles around the paddocks
Operations/Maintenance will come around Thursday night/Friday morning to hook up power. They will pay tech hooking up power at that time.
The pit lane has very limited lighting and minimal lighting in the pit/ paddock areas. Be advised that ambient lighting may not be sufficient for fueling or mechanical repairs.
Therefore, teams are advised to consider alternate power and lighting sources. The use of EZ-ups on the “cold” side of the pit wall is also recommended for keeping out the weather and hanging all lighting fixtures.

Cannot go over the wall, $20 for the weekend at registration. Over the wall crew members must be full ChampCar club members.
