Title: Schedule of events
Post by: Wesley J on August 01, 2019, 12:50:42 PM
Hey Guys,

1st time racer here!  We're planning to be at the bend Friday afternoon to get our camp setup.  A couple of questions as I couldn't find these details:
- When is the car show/gathering at the Nugget?
- When can we grab our spot in the pits?
- Does tech start Saturday morning?

Thanks in advance!

Wes

Thanks Steve!

I work in a hectic job, have a hectic life with hectic kids.  Its going to be hard to slow down, and I thank you very much for the advice. I'll do my best to slow the heck down.

"slow is fast, slow is fast...."  LOL

Cheers,

Wes

Yes rookie orientation is done the first few days.  Through Tues? 

When you go through tech, make sure to read each and every word on the back of the manilla envelope you'll be handed with registration info.  It details the entire entry procedure, and its easy to miss.
