Can I bring in my own golf car, ATV, dirt bike, etc.?

Spectators are NOT allowed to bring off-road vehicles onto the property. In other words, the vehicle needs to be street licensed in order to use it on our property. Bicycles or street-licensed mopeds are acceptable modes of transportation around the facility. Roller skates, roller blades, scooters (motorized or nonmotorized), personal golf cars are NOT allowed.

Rick, Krishna is a competitor I have been digging through what I have and do not see anything preventing competitors from using a bicycle in the paddock but I have also not found anything allowing it. So I have to give you best answer/guess which is it was allowed in the past (but also in the past you did not have register pit vehcilces)

Glad you didn't quote that typo'd nightmare.  Geez time to go to bed, sigining off most likely no internet til I am at RA.

[Burt Munro]

Got it Eric. 

That was the only thing I found regarding bicycles.  Figured if it applied to spectators it would apply to competitors.

I thought I remembered a couple of years ago that RA was cracking down on bicycles.  Either they backed off on that or I remembered it wrong.

Anyone catch this part of the pit registration form?

"Acknowledges and agrees that all operators of said vehicles shall be at least 16 years old, have a valid state required driving license, and carry a minimum of one million dollars general liability insurance applicable to the operation of their pit vehicles and that all operators shall provide such license, proof of insurance, and other applicable credentials upon request of Road America or an event official."

Exactly how many people have any insurance on a pit vehicle such as a home made 5hp minibike?

Looks like I better pull the pit bike out of the trailer.

You guys race RA all the time is this normal?at Daytona if you trailer your pit machine in you don't need a sticker if you park out side like in the camping aera you can't go through the tunnel without a sticker which you have to get at the old tunnel 4 miles away .I know I came out then had to hitchhike  back and lost half my practice . sounds like RA ,daytona and roebling are all a pain in the ass.

[xb9racer]

I think I will call the track tomorrow and ask straight out exactly how serious they take the $1,000,000 insurance bit. That is one of the dumbest things I've seen yet!

Well between insurance companies starting to "request", err require tracks to do this, some of it has to do with the number of retards that ride pit vehicles like complete asshats. They are just covering their asses. Last time I was at RA racing (2004) we didnt have to register them at all. Just had to have the comp # on them as per CCS rules. I took my XL80S all over the place.

you could always pay the $25 as if it were an unregistered pit vehicle. 

[xb9racer]

The $25 is no big deal. Sounds like in conjunction with the $25, they also want proof of insurance? On a 80cc kids dirt bike!!??

The girl said nothing about insurance when I called and asked.  She just said if it's not a registered bike, you have to pay the fee.
