Campers: I’ve received a lot of questions about camping spaces. Between the camping area along the front stretch and the camping area east of the paddock, there are plenty of spaces. Camping spaces are first come, first pick. There is a $50 charge payable to the security staff to open the power box in each camping area.

Still wanna prove you can win at the Glen? Then this is the email you've always waited for! First, one more time, please read the Supplemental Rules Here. I know we've said this before, but the procedure to enter the track is new this year. Please read the Supplemental Rules. Pay particular attention to this part. YOU MUST HAVE A CHAMPCAR SUPPLIED GATE ENTRY WRIST BAND TO ENTER THE FRONT GATE. DRIVER / CREW BAND WILL NOT WORK. NO EXCEPTIONS. Arrival Procedures: Friday - Teams will be required to first park in Lot 3 and walk into the registration building by gate 4A . Registration building will be open from 7:00am - 6:00pm on Friday. Do not pull trailers into the registration parking lot. In the registration office teams will sign the waiver and get a wristband that lets them enter the facility. With their wristband on, they will drive their truck and trailer back down CR16 and enter at Gate 2. Security at gate 2 will verify they have their wristband and let them enter the paddock. Late arrivals on Friday will need to camp in Lot 3. You will be able to sign and get a ChampCar issued wrist band at 7:00am on Saturday. WGI will not allow anyone in without a ChampCar issued wristband. Driver / Crew bands will NOT work. NO EXCEPTIONS. And now the part you've all been waiting for! Your Pit-Stall assignments are here, and your garage assignments are here. Camping; The available camping areas are shown on the map in the supplemental rules. We are not doing any pre-assignments, but there are plenty of camping spaces available. The track charges a $50 fee to open the electrical power boxes. The fee can be paid directly to the track security staff. Any last minute questions? Email me here. Questions specifically about Registration? Email Katherine here. Travel safe, and we'll see you soon! All the best - Your ChampCar Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustoff Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 The supplemental still says no fuel on site. Is this correct or does it only apply to commercial fuel on site? Will there be truck/pump fuel available for race cars or must teams bring all the fuel they need to run the entire day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Jonathan Not sure the exact limit, but ~105 cars started in 2017. Probably somewhere around 105, but they take into account a decent dropout rate before the green drops on Saturday. 115-20 maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbernD Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Questions: Supplemental Info says No Showers. One of our drivers called the info line at WG and they said bathrooms/showers should be available during that time. Can we get clarification on this please? Supplemental says garages available for $100, through Champ. Who would I contact to arrange one? What are the options for Tent camping here? Anywhere we can find some green space or is it discouraged? Thanks! Looking forward to it. Edited March 29, 2018 by NewbernD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not certain when I wrote the Supplementals so I put No, I'll update as we get closer. You contact me. I will send out an email when I'm ready to start taking reservations. I won't begin focusing on Watkins until after I get past the Daytona race. Dana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMK21 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Showers have always been available in one of the newer buildings "down the road" from the garages. At least whenever I've wanted to shower in the last 4 years they've been available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron_e Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'm curious on the ordered starts with green flag, do you have to pass the S/F line before making a pass or can you start passing as soon as the green flag waves and you can see it?

As soon as you see it (and/or) if you are way back and the yellow flags drop (are removed). Don't use radios.........................................
