How does the mixed paddocks work if you have cars in the Club and Pro paddocks such as EP and GT1? For example can you paddock in the Club paddock if you are working out of the same rig?

Thanks,

Don Tucker
EP Miata
 
You're allowed to paddock wherever you want, it's just up to you to get to the correct grid/paddock before your sessions.

Signed up yesterday for FP....and STL....in back-to-back run groups. 88-o
 
Kevin, you can come by tech and speak with the Chief, Gary D'Abate. They will weigh you ahead of the races and will just need someone to stay with car during impound for 1st race. Tech doesn't like moving someone's car when they are not there. And car must be in impound as per supps post race. Then, just do normal post impound for race #2.

Also, speak with race director for Majors, Ken Blackburn about needing time to get from one paddock to the other for grid. If I remember right, all post race tech is in club paddock.
 
Yeah, dealing with tech is going to be a pain, as I'll be paddocked and gridding on the Pro side, yet all tech is on the Club side. I tried sending an email to and calling the Chief Steward to talk about it, but his listed email address bounced back every attempt and his listed phone number goes directly to voicemail every time.

Maybe I should try the Chief Tech Steward...
 
Yeah, Toni had .net but I know .com worked since I just emailed Bob about a meeting this weekend at Roebling Road and I used. com.
 
Something definitely wrong. No way the event dropped from ~100 entries to ~40 entries over night, plus neither of mine are there and I've done nothing to withdraw.
 
Thinking about coming. Just need to see if I can get the car ready.
Have 5 carryover vacation days I need to burn.

Would be coming in FP.

Might need some crew if anyone wants to help me as I would be coming alone.
 
Nice, Sam Halkias signed up in EP! Excited to see him!

Would make for a fun FP race, which already has a lot of good cars in it! All the Prod guys should be over in the Pro Paddock, which isn't very big, so we should all be relatively close together to help out if needed.


Only three weeks left, so get them cars done! :mrgreen:
