    I just preregistered for the practice and sportsman race on Friday. I assume it's OK that the dates don't match since the website still showed practice on Friday and not Thursday like it actually is?

    Huh, thought I'd fixed all the practice stuff, I'll check it. The event date has nothing to do with the actual day the classes are run, I just have to put something in that field. Go with the actual schedule for which days the races run.

    Gates will be opening between 5 and 6pm Wednesday. Parking before that time will be in Lot C, you will be directed to turn right at the stop sign by the museum and the lot is on the right up the hill. We will be getting the vendors in early so they will be parked in their own line. Once the gates do open please enter in the order in which you arrived. The racing will happen later in the weekend and there is no reason to start the event off being rude to your fellow riders by trying to cut in line. Gate fees for rider/crew will be $40. Rider/Crew bands will be sold in Lot C ahead of time and then at the credential building Wednesday 5-12, Thursday 6am-11pm, Friday 6am-11pm, Saturday 6am-10pm, Sunday 6:30am-2:30pm.

    Yep. Right at 5 they may just hold you down the the T intersection before the museum until Lot C is empty and everyone is set up in credentials.

    Question - I see pirelli is one of the sponsors (as well as Michelin) are either of them doing contingency? I know bridgestone is but I don't see their name on the GNF schedule..

    The logos on the GNF schedule are cash sponsors not contingency sponsors so on that score they don't mean anything. Overall they do mean a lot to us :D

    Contingency listings are here - http://www.wera.com/contingency/?x=1098 including championship bonuses if they're different than a normal payout. All of the National Challenge classes pay like normal, anything that says they pay every event will also pay (unless they have a Championship Bonus listed then that will replace the normal event payout).

    Will it be possible to camp in lot G (or anywhere outside of paddock) Sunday night?

    G Shouldn't be a problem, just check with the track peeps or Zoom peeps while you're there.

    No extra charge to get in the paddock, just can't get on hot pit lane with the spectator bands.
