Administrators Bill Strong Posted December 28, 2021 Administrators Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 April 1-April 2, 2022 DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY: 14-Hour Enduro, $1550 Daytona, FL "10th Annual Daytona 14-Hour Enduro" Early Pay Discount Ends: January 31, 2022 Event Director: dana.morrison@champcar.orgEntrant ListDownload Supplemental Rules and Event Info This is it, the one you've been waiting for, Final Information for Daytona Greetings All! First, as usual, please take a look at the Supplemental Rules here. We've updated them to Version 3 so make sure you refresh your browser. Ok, so, this is Daytona, it's always a big race so bring your patience and be prepared to work with each other. If you haven't raced with ChampCar in a while or if you just want a refresher on how we manage our races, please take some time to watch our New to ChampCar video here. The only thing that I do not cover in that video is Flagtronics. Flagtronics. Yes we will be running it. Yes we will have units to loan out, and yes they are still free. Trust me, you're going to want to run it here. Units will be available in both the Tech area and Registration. Gear Check.Yes we are still doing gear checks. If you do not have a 2022 Gear Check sticker on your helmet you will need to get your gear checked. There's a video version of this pre-event info available here. Garages.Remember that if you rent a garage you also get the trailer space associated with that garage. The trailer spaces are usually directly across from the garage, but some are offset. Make sure you check the number and are in the right space. Which brings me to parking in the garage areas. When you go through Registration we will give you a pass for one vehicle in the garage area. That is the only vehicle your team can bring into the garage areas on Saturday. This is a full race and we cannot have all the extra cars parked everywhere. We'll be a little flexible on Friday if you need to get in and drop equipment. But you'll need to quickly move any extra cars back out to the parking areas. Which bring me to Fire Lanes. Those yellow painted lines in the garage area and the cold side of the pit lane are Fire Lanes. Please keep those areas clear. If you did not rent a garage you can use either the open trailer parking lot to the east of the Owner camping area, or the trailer slots across from the open Yellow garages. Keep in mind that if someone rents an open Yellow garage you might have to move. Golf Carts.So bottom line, only vehicles with a valid License Plate can be operated. Why? Because a license plate means you have insurance. Daytona requires a seriously large liability insurance policy for golf carts, and you have to bring a copy, and ChampCar has to maintain a copy, and we have to deliver a copy to the track, and that's more admin than we have people to manage. So, licensed vehicles only. Operation Prom.Who doesn't enjoy a Prom? For those of you who have been here in the past when we've had Proms, you might remember the drill. Yes, I swear I'm not kidding. There will be a High School Prom in the 500 Club Saturday evening. It's been done before, it won't be an issue, but you do need to know a few details. The biggest being that the 500 Club building and the grounds around it are off-limits. Also, the camping area known as the Owner-Driver lot will be totally closed. That's the nice camping area right outside the Yellow garages. This is where they will be bringing the kids in and transferring them into the 500 Club. Camping.Remember that campers will use the Lake Loyd area. We will have a staff member at the entrance to collect the usage fee. We do not take any reservations, but we have also never used more than half the available spaces. Also, please park in the spaces correctly, like between the lines. When one rig pulls in all sideways and blocks 4 spaces that doesn't help anyone. Tech. Please remember to have your electronic Tech Inspection form completed and submitted before the race. Daytona is a big event and Tech inspection can take some time. Also, remember that we are only checking safety compliance. It is up to you to properly add up and submit your VPI and Total Points. The Tech lines at these big races can be long. You can help make it quicker and more efficient for yourself by having your Tech form properly submitted and your car ready to go before you get in line. And! Please note this part. We are going to change the direction of the Tech line this year, and stage the line outside of the garage paddock. We need to reduce the congestion in the Blue garages. Look for the signs and directions from our staff, but the short version is the line will form from the other side. Registration.Please take a few minutes to review your team's registration. Checking things like membership status for each driver and your payment balance can make the check-in process go much quicker. DiscoveryParts.Our friends at DiscoveryParts are bringing their mobile unit to Daytona. Here's some more information from them; DiscoveryParts, a ChampCar Endurance Series partner, will be bringing their “Mobile Technology Center '' to the ChampCar 10th Annual Daytona 14-Hour Enduro event on April 1-2.

Typically we have been able to drop trailers in the staging area on Thursday if I remember correctly. Bill should know for sure. Or e-mail Dana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurljohn Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Looks like those huge curbs got removed from bus stop chicane, hopefully no Champcar officials decide to put cones out there in there instead.

And if so, any recommendations? I don't know if our rules allow for lighted car numbers. The numbers have to be black. But you may add a light to the panel per the BCCR. They try to keep the costs down. Those lighted panels were pretty pricey too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Ok, I wasn’t sure if we could do a panel, and keep the original black numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the request for lit numbers be met by having a complying number panel in black numbers as well?

Administrators Bill Strong Posted January 31, 2022 Author Administrators Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 No clue. I don't make the rules. But that goes against the keep costs down part that members want. And you know, once you allow something, it's looked at by some as increasing the cost of racing. Even if it is not required.

Technical Advisory Committee mcoppola Posted January 31, 2022 Technical Advisory Committee Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Why does anyone feel they need lighted number panels?

Those cones lasted about 2 laps last year if memory serves...... stern warnings had zero effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
