If you count the unassigned cars:

37 Red Sprint
24 White Sprint

I get the fact that the 944s are having the Nationals this weekend, but throwing the four (4) SPBs into their race seems like it would have made sense if for nothing else than balance. We have a history of those two classes playing nice in that combined sprint "sandbox".

In any case, all you Cup cars and GTB cars...be sure to wave goodbye when you pass!

Pretty surprised at this split, as well, especially including a B car in the Red Sprint. I expected to be with the cup cars but I doubt that B car did.

No. You will be directed to the VDA after 8. This should have been addressed in the Saturday email. I'm going to look into what info you all actually got.

The expectation was that when you replied to paddock email sent Sat. you would then be given the detail below. However since many have not replied I'll add it here.

Wednesday, October 11th - No Events
6:00pm-8:00pm Paddock open for Move-In / Set-Up
NO ENTRY PRIOR TO 4:00 PM
After 8PM - There will be gate guards admitting traffic all night. However you will be told to park in the VDA (large autocross area) until Thursday morning when we will again start parking in the zones.

Thursday, October 12th - ARPCA Test & Tune
6:00 am Pitt Race Facility Open
6:30 am Rig Parking resumes.
7:00 am Test & Tune Registration
8:15 am Volunteer and Race Crew Registration (no Drivers)
3:30 pm Driver Registration, Club Race
3:45 pm Tech Inspection Club Race

Thursday: you may arrive all day. We will direct you to your assigned zone.
Thursday night 8PM until Friday 7AM again, we will temporarily locate you in the VDA until our paddock staff returns to locate you in your zone.

Friday - rinse and repeat


PS - not replying is a bad idea. You will delay your ability to park in your permanent spot. We will process those rigs in line that already have zones assigned.

The reason I think many have not responded to the parking is that like me I have never been there and have no idea where I may want to park.

Let me amend my reply to this statement for more clarity.

If you have reserved a garage or a paid for electrical slot, then you will be permitted to park in your specific assigned slot no matter what time you arrive. We are not going to prevent paid customers from accessing what they have purchased.

However please be aware that if you arrive at 11PM there will almost certainly be nobody to escort you to your slot. Please use the track map to find it. Email us for the map if you do not have it.

Electrical Map

Please use the map linked above to locate your slot if you arrive off hours.

Here is the complete paddock map.
