Topic: pit setup / track on/off @ pitt

anyone kno which paddock area we will be using and how they will route the traffic for cars coming on and off the track during the race ?  they usually set it up as a one way loop through the paddock but where will track on / pit in be ?  our car usually requires a lot of pushing by hand after they drag it off the track ,  , just trying to plan accordingly . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I suspect we will have the upper garages to the middle garages, to the end of pit lane.

If that fills up, we will work back from the lower garages, away from the track.

Padock to Pit lane is in the middle of Pit Lane. At least that is the main one. There is also a padock to pit lane ramp at either end of pit lane.

For the two ChumpCar races we entered to the right of the timing tower and exited in the middle of pit lane.

Hey Bruce, here's a decent track map that (if zoomed in) shows little arrows for the pit in/pit out spots, as well as the official 220V reservable camping spots.  Gimme a call or an email, LMK what your travel/lodging plan is.  Your forum email is DOA.

Reserved an electric spot for our camper and got some info from the track.
The gates open to 24HL by 6pm thurs. The gates will be open continuously through the weekend, so late night team arrivals are OK.
There are reservable electric RV spots in the paddock for $25/day. She said there weren't too many left.
There are not water or sewer hookups at any of the RV spots.

Re: pit setup / track on/off @ pitt

I don't know what the status of our old TDI-swapped GTI is. The guy who took it over from me has fallen off the forum, Facebook, got divorced, etc. So I haven't been bugging him to get the racecar running for me.

On the plus side, I get to guest hoon Prime Suspect's leMonza, with junkyard fresh V6 swap.
