How do you register your Pit Crew Members? Click here for more instructions.
- Pre-Registered Pit Crew:
- Your Driver of Record will be given all pre-registered Pit Access Wristbands at onsite registration, so pit crew members do not need to go to drivers registration.
- Pit Crew members should go straight to waiver pick up located beside the red merchandise truck at Tech to pick up your Waiver Wristband.
- Non Pre-Registered Pit Crew:
- You may purchase Pit Access Wristbands onsite for $30 from the box office at the front entrance.
- Before you can purchase a Pit Access Wristband, you must first have a Waiver Wristband. A waiver station will be positioned directly next to the box office.
Vehicle Pit Passes:
Any vehicle entering a pit must have a pit pass for the correct day. This is to identify that you are part of a race team. If you are moving into the pits early, it is your responsibility to put these vehicle pit passes on all vehicles moved in before race day.
There is only one Vehicle Pit Pass for each race day. This will get you in to all pits.
- The Friday Vehicle Pit Pass will get your vehicle into all pits on Friday.
- The Saturday Vehicle Pit Pass will get your vehicle into all pits on Saturday.
How many vehicle pit passes do you get?
- Cars/Trucks – Each Driver of Record will be issued (6) vehicle pit passes at on-site registration.
- Motorcycles – Each Rider of Record will be issued (4) vehicle pit passes at on-site registration.
Where do I put them? Pit passes must be displayed on the front windshield, on the upper passenger side of the vehicle window.
