Topic: sausage fest (road america)

There is only a fence separating the padock and the hot pit lane, will all teams be able to put up pit tents and stay in the hot pit area for the entirity of the race?  how it is done at BIR and RA in the other leagues (lucky dog and CHUMPcar).

OK so we get a 20x40 space in the paddock. Is there power available in this area? I saw that power is in the upper paddock section.
Has there been any info on when the gates open on Thursday for us to setup?

Riddle this. Even if Lemons did allow what you are suggesting, is ther room for 120+ such permanent pit spaces?  It has been over 10 years since raced there but I do not remember the hot pits being that long.
