Please make yourself aware of the basic information provided in this online drivers meeting. An in-person meeting will still continue to happen but will be brief and focused on site/course specific instructions. Thank You.
A basic overview can always be found on the side of the timing van. Questions? ASK!!!

Grid:
Please put your car into your assigned grid spot promptly when it’s your turn to run. This saves time. If you’re a first heat driver, you can put it directly into grid after you tech your car.

Please do not run off from your car in grid. If you’re not ready to run it holds things up.
