Setting up at Road America?

[George_Linhart]

Does anybody know if they will let us leave our pits set up inside the gates on Thursday night if we are there for the track day?

Last year they allowed this - I thought it worked great.

Thanks,

George

NESBA has the track on Thurs so I would think it would be at their discretion, and, well, since the CCS forum crowd hasn't been too friendly to them I wouldn't expect any big favors...

Last year we could leave our pit, but we could not stay at the track overnight...For those of us with Motorhomes it was a PITA...

I asked this a few weeks ago and didn't get an answer...CCS is out until tommorow and I am going to call them and ask...

[extrakt0r]

I just spoke with Eric...Yes, we are going to be able to camp in the paddock Thursday night. After the NESBA day, they are going to clear the paddock of people. Not rigs, etc. Then after everyone is out, start letting people back in after they get wristbands, etc...

So lets all make sure we leave our rigs unlocked so security can make sure no one is camping out, and we can make this a quick process...

Here you go, I e-mailed NESBA (Garth), CCS & RA... These are the Answers from RA...  Garth will also be posting the NESBA info on the NESBA forum.


1) I will be arriving the night of the 4th, camping and riding the Nesba day on the 5th.  I know I'll need a camping pass, but how much per person (there will be 2 of us)?

     You need a camping pass per tent or motor home, not per person ($35 per tent, $50 per motor home).

2) What hours will registration be open on the night of the 4th (NESBA)?

     Usually it is open until 9 but I have a call into the guy from NESBA to confirm that.

3) Will we be required to completely clear out of the paddock after the Nesba Day, or can I leave my trailer in place?

     Your trailer can stay in place as long as it is open so we can see that everyone has gone down to register properly for the CCS event.

4) Will we be allowed to leave the trailer in the paddock overnight on the 5th?

     Yes, your trailer can stay overnight on the 5th.

5) Will we be allowed to camp overnight on the 5th?  And if not will I be allowd to sleep in my truck outside the gate?

     Yes, you can camp the night of the 5th but need a different tag for the CCS event.  Same fees apply.  Purchase at registration

6) How much will camping be for the nights of the 6th & 7th (I will have three - well more like 2.5 -  more family members joining me)?

     Same fees as NESBA camping

7) When is CCS regestraion being held on the night of the 5th?
     [Elliott] Thursday from 4-5pm for Team Owners, 5-6pm for preregistered only, then 6-8pm for all riders, Friday morning they will open by 7am.

$35 per night or for the whole event?

[extrakt0r]

$35 per night or for the whole event?

Per "Event" Nesba = 1 and CCS =1 so if you camp Wed Night $35 to NESBA and then $35 again to CCS for Thur-Sat...

Gotcha.  Thanks

I wouldn't put any burdon on the CCS forum as a whole.  Most if not all the issues seem to stem from a couple of the same old - same old crowd, who are not only nonparticipants with NESBA but who are not even racing at this CCS event.  At the end of the day they are a non issue.

What about cornerworkers that show up thursday night to camp so they dont have to hurryyy up and set tents up?

Do "normal" camping sites (i.e. the ones on Road America's) site apply, or can we camp in the paddock?
