CHAMP RACE ENTRY FORM

ATTENTION RACERS

A couple of updates before the Double-Header this weekend:

> G&J Kartway has continued its facility upgrades in the past week by repaving the entire grid & pit area.

>The Track will be CLOSED for practice tomorrow (Thursday June 19) for repainting of the grid and track border-lines.

>The pit space markings on the new pavement will NOT be in place yet for this weekend, so please be courteous and work with your pit neighbors to get everyone in their correct spots until we get a chance to re-mark them.

>If you are pitted in a grass area: the new pit asphalt sits higher than the grass, so you may want to bring an extra plank of wood to help roll your kart-stands on & off the pavement until G&J Kartway crews can finish the earthwork to level off the edges.

Thank you for your cooperation & understanding in working with us and the Track on these continued updates!

WEATHER:

We are keeping an eye on the heat warnings for the weekend, and our officials will make calls on race day for any race-length or format changes if it is deemed necessary. We will have cold bottled water donated by our members available in coolers at the head of the grid and at the scale lane, as well as a misting fan available by the Tech Barn available to help our members cool off. We will also work in additional water breaks for our volunteers & workers as well. Please help us by keeping yourselves well-hydrated and cool so that we can have a great weekend at the track!
