NHMS 4 UPDATED Oct 29

[chaos4NH]

1. The registration building will be open Friday night, Oct 31 from 700PM until 900PM. If you register on Friday night, please do not show up until after the gates open, at 730AM on Saturday
2. There will be no camping, or entry to the track on Friday night. Please leave your trailers, campers, etc. (exception noted at #14, below) at home or at your hotel when coming up to register on Friday.
3. Registration will also be open on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 700AM to 800AM. Note, however the gates will not open until 730, so please leave the left lane (closest to the building) open for those who have preregistered. There will likely be quite a few vehicles lined up on Saturday morning, so please be courteous and do not block local traffic.
4. Proceed to your assigned garage or chosen parking place (Please read #15 carefully, as our garage assignment has changed from past events)and prepare your vehicle for Tech Inspection. Read your tech sheet for do’s and don’ts. We will be in the center garages.
5. Your assistance will help make Tech Inspection move quickly. Cars will line up for Tech in front of the garages, the tech shed being the garage closest to the track. As always we will traverse the garage area in a clockwise direction. Please sign your tech sheet, place it under a windshield wiper, have your hood unlatched, trunk open and helmet readily available for inspection. Hey, if you don’t have windshield wipers, use you imagination, like tape it to your forehead.
6. Pay attention to the announcements and proceed to the drivers meeting at the specified time. There will be a lot of important information at the driver’s meeting, so please keep the chatter down and let the others hear the presentation.
7. Track configuration will be Chicane-Chicane.
8. Major complaints that have worn ill feelings for COM: Shouting at the gate workers and not following their instructions. Leaving the track area and using the outside parking lots to bed brakes, adjust suspensions, etc. Children being allowed unattended wandering. Any infractions may result in an individual being asked to leave the event. At this point in time we are in the good graces of the NHMS Operation Director -meaning we have been given some preferences to obtaining more days for 2009, including 3 weekends.
9. Children under the age of 16 WILL NOT be allowed to use ANY type of wheeled conveyance anywhere in the infield when there are cars on the track, i.e.: from 900AM until 500PM. This is a new track policy for ALL event holders, not just COM. In additon, I ask members to help police the children they see wandering around without adult supervision.
10. The corner workers will be under the joint supervision of Glen from Pro Flaggers, Inc. and COM Operations personnel. The flaggers are all SCCA certified and very good at their job. As in any event , there may be questionable calls made on the track, but be assured we will err on the side of safety. A safe event is the goal. Flags will be addressed at the driver’s meeting.
11. The waste fluids building will be open from 1200-1230 and 300-330 each day.
12. Gas pumps will be under the jurisdiction of the Chief Of Operations. Anyone willing to pony up the $9.00 per gallon, please see Sam Webster. If you bring your gas to the track, please do not store it inside the garages. Place the containers outside, next your door or in your trailer.
13. Remember that all "over the wall" personnel must wear protective headgear..There will be a number of bicycle helmets (they meet the approval of the track) in the tech shed building for use when individuals go over the wall to setup and retrieve timing gear.
14. Parking Lot J, just to the right after you enter the main gate - across from the tunnel-will be available for anyone leaving their trailers between the two weekend events. You may drop off you trailer anytime during the week in Parking Lot J as long as it is before dark and you inform the gate personnel of your intentions.
15. We will be in the CENTER GARAGES. Do not go to the North GARAGES, they are being prepared for the Loudon Town Hallowe'en Party!
That also goes for the November 1 and 2 event. The actual party is being held On the night of November 1, after the track is closed. People braving the cool (!!!) weather to stay at the track on for these events WILL NOT be allowed to wander over to the North garages, or set up their campers in the usual area between the North garage and fence near turns 11 and 12.
16. OK, HERE IS THE BIG ONE - SATURDAY TRACK TIMES ARE THE NORMAL 900 TO 500. SUNDAY TRACK TIMES ARE 830 TO 430. AND DON'T FORGET TO TURN YOUR CLOCKS BACK ONE HOUR BEFORE SHOWING UP ON SUNDAY!
17. This just in: There will be food available at the track on both days. The restaurant is closed, but the gentleman who does the BBQ for the NASCAR guys will have his grills set up for our lunches.
