i spoke to dave about two weeks ago he said he will open the gates on thursday to make the pitting a little easier they cant be that crowded there is only 500 cars max thats if everyone shows you talk about crowded ive raced at my home track norwalk with 1400 race cars as far as getting there friday make sure you there early enough to get your two time runs if you miss your call. your bumming because they wont let you make it up pinks actually takes the track over for the weekend especially the track surface christianson runs the show so dont be surprized if your short times are way off
