Topic: Late driver arrival? Gear check? Other stuff?

Hi,

We are doing our first Lemons in November, very exciting!

We have a driver that will arrive Saturday morning just before drivers meeting. Does he have to do gear check before that? Or Lemons doesnt have that?

Just have him give his gear to a teammate that will be there on Friday....

They will usually take care of him (wristband and whatnot) some time after the race starts.   Obviously they are pretty busy before that.

And as above, someone else can tech his gear on friday.

Another note even though everyone is sure it will never happen to them...it happens to at least one person per race.

Have a responsible party check their drivers license expiration date at least a month in advance.  Then drill into everyone on your team the importance of not forgetting it.  It is the one and only thing that cannot be borrowed, worked around, bodged together...no licenses=no driver wrist band.

Re: Late driver arrival? Gear check? Other stuff?

We can check gear and issue driver's wristbands just about all weekend (except during crazy-busy times, like between the driver's meeting and putting the cars on the track on Saturday morning). As long as the car and at least one driver get checked/approved on Friday, you'll be fine.
