Basically all I know is from here: https://pittrace.com/visitor-info/ This weekend will be my first time at PIRC, actually it's my first time at a new track in like 10 years. I think I remember reading things about different configurations for MotoAmerica vs WERA. Will we be on the full 19 turn track as shown on that page or something else? Does anyone have a good track walkthrough video for tips on how to ride there semi-quickly? What time will the gates open? On the link above, there's an electrical grid map. Are there only 18 spots with power? I'm assuming everyone parks in the North Paddock.
It'll be the full course, without the MA chicane. There are plenty of SV videos on YouTube, haven't seen anything specifically with anyone talking (maybe a Marcel Irnie vid?). Gates are generally always open, and power is generally sold out although Scott Nelson has a spot to sell - reach out to him to see if he still has it open. Most everyone parks in the North Paddock, but there may be power in the South Paddock and youll be a distance from everyone else and Pit-Out.
On the south paddock double check with the track before parking there. I know we have the full track but that doesn't also mean the full facility and they do rent out other areas for other events at the same time.
There are pumps there with Sunoco 93 and up. It’s pricy compared to normal pump gas, I think it’s due to the ethanol free component. The Sunoco 100 octane is about $10 per gallon, it sure of the 93 cost. Pumps are on 24/7 via credit card only purchases.
I think 93 is about a dollar higher than gas station pricing. There is also a gas station about a mile from the track. There are garages that rent out with power. Both the garages and the pits with electric are big, usually a few people go in together so ask around and you may find a spot. I shared a garage with someone last time there with plenty of room.
I called today and they said there would be a night guard so the gate should be open all night starting Thursday. They also said there was no gate fee which I didn’t know was a thing.
Will there be a Dunlop vendor there this weekend? This is also my first time at Pitt and it sounds great!
We will have wristbands for sale at registration but yeah, they won't sell them so we lose quite a bit of income. Tracks with one gate for multiple facilities always screw us up and lose income but not much we can do about it.
Just so nobody gets lost... the track is not very close to any coast. As far as best in the eastern US, I'd go with Barber but they both offer great (but different) experiences.
I have a spot in advanced for tomorrow that I can't use due to health reasons. If you'd like to buy it at a discount, please let me know.
