Title: CMP Hot Pits - Canopies?
Post by: kl3640 on March 15, 2008, 01:49:47 AM
I know that CMP has done a lot of renovations, including the additions of garages, paving, etc.  Does anyone know if the hot pit lane has canopies (e.g., Daytona)?  I ask because I've got the ASRA Solo Challenge coming up there next month and I need to know whether to bring a canopy for the pit crew or not.

Thanks.

Unless they added them in all the 'upgrades' they have done over the last year there are not canopys. I cant think of any track last year that we didnt use our own canopys at in the hot pits.

Bring it for sure.

I also seem to remember some rain the day of the race...

Lets hope for some nice racing weather for this year! I can't wait!

Thanks all.  They didn't list them amongst the upgrades mentioned on their site, so looks like I'll be using my own.

They don't have anything like that on pit lane. I've been out there since the renovations. The track was fun

Derek, was you able to get any new on bike footage of the track?  Just curious.  First time going there will be April.
