3 TRACK MAP 3 Nelson Ledges recently repaved their facility. The pavement is nice, and they d like to keep it that way. So if you spill something, please clean it up, quickly. If it s a big spill let us know so we can get some help. Remember, we are borrowing their track, and we want to give it back in good shape. Teams may cross Pit-Lane to signal their drivers, but they MUST be accompanied by a Pit Marshal to spot them for safety.

Teams are restricted from having more than 25-gallons of fuel in their pit stall. Metal fuel drums or other fuel containers and caddies with manual pumps (no electric pumps) and hose lines are allowed to re-fill plastic jugs but are not allowed for re-fueling race cars. All fuel storage must be maintained on the cold side of the pit wall or kept within your transporter. Funnels are no longer allowed for fueling. SRPP4 All teams shall have: one (1) fully-charged 10lb ABC fire extinguisher in their pit area; one (1) 10lb bag or container of kitty litter, or other reasonable absorbent for oil leaks and/or fuel spillage in their pit area; a suitable gasoline and/or liquid catch pan must be used during refueling in an appropriate position to catch any spilled fuel.

Catch pans should be larger than 12 square or 12 in diameter and should not exceed 24 square or 24 in diameter. Oil drip pans work perfectly for this; having a broom and dust pan handy is also advisable. SRPP7 All team members over the wall during fueling must wear a Nomex driver s suit, gloves and full-face helmet, Nomex socks, and closed toe shoes. Anyone over the pit wall while fueling with facial or long hair require a balaclava. Basically the same requirements as the driver, except you may substitute your approved racing shoes for closed toe shoes. Leather boots are recommended. SRPP8 Electric, propane or kerosene heaters within the cold side of the pit wall are allowed provided all heating elements or flame sources are directed away from any flammable material and are kept a minimum of 20 from any fuel storage. No open flame stoves or BBQs are allowed in the cold pits. SRPP9 All cars, used or junk parts too big for a normal trash can, empty fuel drums and anything else you brought with you must be taken out with you. If you leave it behind, we ll track you down and it won t be pretty. SRPP10 - Teams may add up to 10% antifreeze to their radiators for this event.

5 SUPPLEMENTAL RULES AND EVENT INFO ChampCar.Live! : Watch the race from start to finish with live commentary. Visit ChampCar.Live Headlights. This is an overnight 24-hour race, you will need your lights. All cars must have their headlights installed and turned on by 5:00pm Saturday. Test & Tune Information: Friday practice will be from 9:00am till noon (1 hour lunch break), 1:00pm till 5pm, and night test 8:00pm till 10:00pm. Cost is $250 per team (unlimited drivers). Payment will be at the gate. A two hour session in both am and pm, for fuel calculation. Arrival on Thursday evening is recommended. Garages: None. Paddock: The paddock is all grass. Bring plywood to put under your car, jack, and jackstands. During rain conditions the paddock can turn into a mud bowl. Be prepared with easyups and ground cover. The cold side of pit lane is also a good place to use plywood on the ground to keep your shoes dry and less muddy. Warning: When choosing your paddock location, chose higher elevation areas as water collects in the low areas. Pay attention to the weather. Lighting: VERY limited. Bring your own pit and paddock lighting and generators. Electrical Hookups in Pit / Paddock: NONE. Bring your own power sources. Pit Passes: ChampCar racers and their crew will have access with the issued wristbands. Nelson Ledges plans to allow spectators during the event and to charge them separately. So please wear your correct wristbands to prevent confusion during the event. Pets: Pets allowed into the track must be on a leash at all times. Please clean up after your pet. Pet access is a privilege not a right. The track reserves the right to deny pet access to the property at any time. Children: Small children (infants, toddlers, etc) are not permitted in the pit area. Children under the age of 16 must be under adult supervision. Camping: Overnight Camping. Self-contained RV camping is allowed Friday thru Sunday. There are no hook-up sites. Space in the paddock is limited, teams may camp in the paddock, however teams with both a hauler and a separate camper are advised to park their camper in the over-flow area. Camping / Camper Hookups: There are no hook-up campsites. All camping must be self contained. Barbeques: BBQ s are allowed in the transporter parking area and thirty feet (30 ) outside the cold pit area, provided all BBQ s are supervised at all times, a fire extinguisher is within 15 of the open flame, and all open flames are (at a minimum) 20 from all race cars, fuel storage or other flammable sources. Bathrooms / Showers: There are some bathroom facilities onsite. However, Nelson Ledges is planning to renovate them to increase the number and add showers. If the renovations are not complete, portable bathrooms and showers will be supplied. Gate: The front gate will be open overnight during the event. Concessions: The Slp Truck - Put Some Pork on your Fork! Seating & tables for 100 people. Serving meels starting on Thursday night. They will be staffed and serving for the full 24h.

Guest Pass: Teams are advised that all team members, family, and guests who desire Pit Lane access MUST purchase a Pit Pass through ChampCar at the track. $20 will purchase a weekend ChampCar Temporary Membership pass. ChampCar members can obtain a free pit pass by showing their membership card. Fuel on site: Fuel. 93 octane pump-gas is available on site. However, my Public High School math (and my experience) says we ll go through over 6,000 gallons. The tank capacity at the track is around 5,000. You guys see where I m going with this right? Bring some fuel with you. But, the track is looking into having an additional fuel truck onsite for the race. Keep your fuel jugs, drums, and containers covered if it rains. Water in your fuel will ruin your weekend. Weather: We re racing, regardless of the weather. See paddock info above. Quiet Time: None.
