Have you ever been in black flag and argued your point as to why you shoved the guy off the track? and then the official said, oh... ok... on your way then! ?

This sheet will be in your packet Download the PDF to tape to your dash cota-track-limits.pdf

Safety will do hot pulls.But if your engine is blown, or your car needs to be towed on a flatbed the following will happen. Drivers of disabled cars will be transported via medical car, to comply with Covid-19 restrictions. This means that for disabled vehicles that the AMBULANCE will be dispatched. You will take a nice ride in the ambulance to the pit lane if there are no health issues. If you are injured, you will be taken to the medical center.Just be advised, that normally you would ride with the tow truck person, but under the tracks COVID-19 rules, you will have to ride in the medical vehicle. And be aware that the medical vehicle will be dispatched a lot more than regularly. So don't be alarmed.There will be no additional charges for that service.

added to the webpage and 1st post here to clarify the temp membership fee. Weekend ChampCar Membership - For people in your crew that are not ChampCar Endurance Series members, we offer a temporary weekend membership for $20. Sign the waivers, hand them to security at the front gate. You will get a wristband that gets you through the gate. Your team captain will pay for your $20 Weekend Membership when he or she picks up the team registration folder. He will then give you the ChampCar event wristband.

Before the green flag drops

All registered drivers and crew. Be on the lookout this week for an email being sent out from Chelsey. I will also post the contents of the email to all of our social media just in case you have unsubscribed from our email list.

The drivers meetingvideo will be done later this week and posted to the ChampCar Youtube channel and linked via the web page listed in the supps. We will ahve QR Codes all over COTA Campus for you and your drivers to watch the video. You will email questions to Chelsey.Vickery@champcar.org Please remember, this is our first event back, and we are trying to make these changes as easy for you as we can. PLEASE tell everyone attending the process of getting into the track. Especially Arrive & Drive teams. Download the waivers. Print the waivers. Sign all of the waivers. 1 person, one set of waivers. These are your tickets to get through the front gate. If someone shows up to the front gate without their waiver forms, they will not be let in. Team captains. We are looking at you. Make certain all of your team people have their waiver forms, signed, and with them as they enter the gate. Remember, No waiver forms, No enter. The gate guard will NOT have copies. He will only collect them, and hand you your entry wristband. Go to #1 and start again. whew. please don't get mad at me for the above. I am probably going to be the guy that forgets his signed waivers.

Just spoke with Chelsey. Unless otherwise instructed... everyone in your truck/group, must sign a seperate waiver.. so print out enough for everyone. https://champcar.org/mainweb/pdf/ChampCar-Covid-Waiver.pdf Those will be your tickets to get a on-site entry arm band. The team captain will then pay for the Weekend Membership armbands at registration. You will then get another arm band. I think that works

ah. ok. let me see what the event director wants to for that kinda of entry. we are not going to have a person on the gate accepting money. But let me sort out how we want to do that.

How do I put this... We are awaiting the final info from COTA, there are some details that we still need. They say they are complete and approved. We just have not got them. we are following up today with phone calls. We would like it if no children were on site, and only drivers and crew. so it your family are crew, then boom, sitting on pitlane, in the air conditioned sun. Please remember, this is our first event back. We have all of our rules and procedures in writing, but, they are untested. We know there may be issues. There are a lot of rules that we have to go by, tracks, city, states, CDC, our insurence company, COTAs insurence company, Bob down in facilities, and probably some thing else. We will be adapting as we go. If you need to yell as anyone, please find me. I am the media and marketing guys. Nobody cares about me. I am the best guy to yell at. But stop when I curl up in the fetal position. You can find me onsite. This is me. The cool looking guy. I also like to hug.

If you see issues with that, please post them, so we can work it out

Everyone must be CCES members and registered as drivers or crew.

After some cancellations, we now have 5 spots available for Watkins Glen. Pass around that new please.

see above

sorry, I have been busy this morning.... Hello Utah Racers, I regret to inform you that we have made the decision to cancel our Utah Motorsports Campus event for 2020. The 2020 COVID shutdown has put an enormous amount of financial stress on businesses all across the country, and we’re no exception. We normally operate a few events a year at a financial loss just to bring racing to an area with the hope that we can build a market up for future years, but we currently have no budget for intentional losses. We had less than 10 cars entered at Utah after the payment deadline and with the cost of the UMC facility we would have needed more than 25. I have refunded all of your payments via PayPal and deleted your entry to UMC. I hope to see you all at other events in 2020. Michael Chisek CEO

Update... Entry control in COTA... Teams are Limited to pre-registered Drivers and Crew. All drivers and crew must sign the two waivers (ChampCar Waiver & COTA Waiver). You will hand these over to the COTA Gate person. These waivers will allow you to get an arm band. You will not be allowed into COTA without the arm band. Right now, as of this posting, I have the ChampCar waiver in the supps. Print one out for each of your drivers and crew. I will have the COTA waiver soon. Bottom line. No waivers, no entry. They will not be available at the gate. You must print, sign, date, and bring it with you. It's like your tickets to get into the track. Teams must stay within their team area when on-site. Food - There will be food trucks on site. The Cafe may be open with Grab & Go food. They are still determining this. There are a few other items that we will being a bit different for this event. Not the race part. Mostly the before and after parts of the event. I will post them in the supps once we get them sorted out. stay tuned

I will lock it down tighter tha n our northern border...

Please ... Spread the word of this event with your racing buddies! Our friends at the Ultimate Street Car just returned from Willow this past weekend. They said the place was hopping! all three tracks filled with enthusiasts! I would like to have five more teams at this race! Let's go racing!

Displacement blocks are allowed to be used to bring the capacity down to legal size. Be prepared to open it up to prove it though

I have so many funny responses, but in todays world, they could be taken so wrong. email michael.chisek@champcar.org with any "fine print questions".

COTA just told us it won't effect us!
