Minor Change to the Program, November 23

Saturday Morning Entry 

If you are not arriving at the circuit until Saturday morning:

  • Entry passes should be available at the gate. Enter the circuit and set up your car at your allocated space
  • Complete your competitor sign-on for the event with the Race Secretary 

Garages and Carports

Competitors, if you requested a garage or carport this may be of interest to you.

Entries for the event are very strong! About two weeks before entries closed on the 15th of November, most of the garages were taken. In the week leading up to entries closing, all of the garages and most of the carports were taken.

There are numerous competitor requests to share with or next to others, as well as many other requests including nominating specific garages or carports, and requests to share with someone who has not entered.

When entries are so strong, there is quite limited flexibility to move competitors around in order to meet these requests. However, the Race Committee has met as many of these requests as possible.

Due to the strong entries, and garage overflow, marquees have been arranged, at considerable expense to the Club, and some competitors will be allocated a marquee.
