Palmer April 27-28 2019

Here's the skinny on the season opener:

1. Entry on Friday night, April 26 will be allowed after 500 PM....We are paying for overnight security. Entry road speed limit is 25 mph. Paddock speed limit is 10 mph.

2. Camping is allowed.

3. Registration opens on Saturday at 7:00am and closes at 8:00am. Tech opens at 7:05am and closes at 8:05am. There may be availability the night before but no promises.

4. There is no formal (informal) dinner planned at the track. We have been struggling to replace the irreplaceable Bob Brooks, and have not be able to find the right thing yet- it’s a lot of work just organizing these things. We’re looking for a new person to “own” this activity, if you’re willing we’d love to hear from you see Tom Cannon at the track this weekend please.

5. Garage rentals this year will be handled directly by our MotorSportsReg signup – make sure you add a garage before checkout if you need one.

6. The racing surface, including track entry, exit and hot pit, is counter clockwise for this event. At no time may any vehicle operate in a clockwise direction unless so directed by an event official.

7. The default sound limit is 95 decibels on the A scale measured at 50 feet from the track edge. Vehicles violating the limit will be black flagged and not allowed on track without corrective measures. Please come prepared. This limit will be strictly enforced. NO refund. If you’re running a factory exhaust, you’re likely OK. If you think your modified exhaust is loud, it is, and you better bring some options to make sound or you’re going home. Short shifting into one is not a solution – they check sound all over the track.

8. Motor vehicles are not allowed on the race track after closing (cold) in the evening until opened next morning.

9. Bicycling and walking on the race track during non-use (cold) hours is permitted only by prior arrangement.
