Parking and Pit Spaces at the Track

Written by Paul Jones, GCKI President

We have seen tremendous turnout at our races this year! As a result it is imperative that the parking and the pit space be done in an efficient manner. Please see the revised diagram showing the pit locations at the track. Each pit space is 10’ wide, and there are two spaces between the yellow posts. There should be only one pit space for each trailer, with the pitting out of the back, but not on the pit runners. Exceptions to this should only be for teams with three or more karts, then a second pit space may be used.

Our Saturday practice days are almost as busy as a race day, and many leave their trailers overnight for the race on Sunday. It is important that pitting on Saturday follow the same procedures as race day, one trailer per pit space. Please pit as near to the front as possible, without taking the sponsor’s pit area. This will allow a more manageable parking for those that arrive on Sunday.

Please note that the track will be closed this Friday thru Sunday for the TSRS race.  No trailers are to be left on property after Thursday without permission of the race sponsor.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Paul Jones
GCKI President
