Racers,

 

We have seen a large increase in the number of racers practicing on Saturday before a Sunday race.

 

In an effort to make our Saturday’s both SAFER, and to ensure all have equal practice time, we will now be controlling the Saturday activities.

 

The format will be the same as controlled practice on race day mornings. Our race director will have full control of the track and keep time for each practice session.

 

Non-Member drivers will now be required to pay a $50 Saturday practice fee which includes the driver pass. (Additional insurance bands can be purchased for $7.50 ea. with the Saturday practice if needed)

 

When a Non-Member racer registers for the race, they will be prompted to purchase the Saturday pass if applicable.

 

Please have patience, it may take a race or two to get our new processes flowing smoothly.

 

Regards,
Jay Kleinheinz
GCKI President
