Setting up at Road America?

[cbirk]

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

I was wondering the same thing.

Camp in the paddock  .

i have heard that if we get there before the TD is over then we have to wait outside until its over to pull the trailer in.  i would like to be able to at least set everything up and maybe watch some practice as i have never been there.. any truth to that?

From what I understand, we can't get in until after 6:00pm Thursday night.

Plus people there already for the track day have to come back out minus there stuff, to register for the races. Should be a nice cluster F**k.

Not sure what you mean. Could be run as a normal race weeknd is run, which is we take over the track when the last renter is out, by working with NESBA and the track on this we are trying to speed up riders being in the track and less work tearing down between renters.

Spooner I don't beleive that is true if you are there for the track day you will have access on Thursday before 6. Racers have access after the track/paddock has been swept after the track day is over and you have gone through registration.

If you mean can you set up during the NESBA track day and not practice? then no you have to wait until CCS takes possesion of the facilty.

If all of the CCS workers would have shown up last year to work the registration this process would have worked out great. It seemed that everyone got off the track in a timely matter.Can wait for this event should be a great weekend.

Yeah we had some flight delays and people unable to get off work early and I know I covered a window for a coule hours and definitely was not as quick or as pleasant to look at as the normal registration crew.

Outside the rope for you, riff raff. You want in in THAT shirt? I don't think so. Your name is not on the list.....

Not to cause a problem, but I was told by Road America staff (via phone) that you could enter the track at any time and pay the camping fee.  Regardless if you were spectating or riding.  I had ask if I could drop my trailer on Wednesday or Thursday and was told that it would not be a problem as long as I paid my fee.

I am sure I will learn something new when I get there but that is what I was told by RA staff.

As for having to leave the premises to get new arm bands/credentials I assumed I would.

Anthony,

I think the catch on the camping fee may be that they are charging separate fees for the NESBA day than for the CCS/ASRA weekend. 

By that I mean if you are there for the NESBA day only you would pay 1 camping fee.  If you are there for the ASRA/CCS weekend you would pay 1 camping fee.  If you are there for both you would pay 2 camping fees - 1 for each.

I think the real question will be at what time can you pay on Thursday for the  ASRA/CCS weekend and get in to drop your trailer.

I went back and reread the earlier post in this thread by Jason748.  I think that explains the timeline and fees way better than I did!

[Spooner]

yeah, i just want to go in and drop the trailer and start to set up if i can get there a few hours early.  like anthony i was planning on leaving during the sweep process and all that.
