Title: HP gate times?
Post by: pnther15 on April 22, 2008, 10:04:08 PM
Does anybody know if the gates will be open all night?  I'm planning on going to Friday practice before work and setting up camp, but I don't get off work till 10pm and won't get back to the track until midnight.  Anybody?

Thank you,
David

The past couple of years, as long as you already had your wristband the guard would let you in, regardless of the time.  If you arrived too late to get your wristband, you were camping outside the gate.

Gates close at 10pm, and reopen at 7am...

Not sure where you got that info...... :err:

I hope you're not implying that if you don't make it back thru the gate by 10pm, wrist band or not, you're sleeping by the side of the road outside the gate and not in your RV/Tent that is already set up in the paddock.  :finger:

If that's true and things have changed a great deal from last year, some folks will have to be satisfied with the early bird show at Baby Doll's   :jerkoff:

The key in past years was if you had already received your wristband, you come and go (bad choice of words after mentioning Baby Doll's!!) after 10pm and prior to 7am.   :cheers:

But don't plan to come in late at night, just in town off of the highway and expect to get thru the gate.  :banghead:

If you know a source stating 10pm-7am gates locked, no one in or out, please share where you found the info......  :wtf:

I talked to the operations manager at HP a few weeks ago and he said that we will have 24hr access.
