Sydwayz Racing Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Sydwayz Racing said: Can we get some details on what "RV Parking" means with regards to POWER? Does 4 spaces side by side mean there are four 50 AMP connectors and four water spigots? 30 AMP connectors? Less? We need details to figure out how we want to team up. Confirmed. 4 spots means 4 spots side by side. 40' Long and 20' wide, EACH. For a total of 40x80. And that means 4 power poles and 4 water hookups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being pushy, just asking. We do our best to have the schedule posted in early August. We have to wait until the mass majority of entries come in before we can set the race groups otherwise last min entires come in and really mess with the car counts of each group. It is quite a balancing act. We know you all want the schedule as soon as possible so that you can plan accordingly but we have to hold out in order to keep the groups balanced.

CDRacing Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Two probably silly questions, but I just want to be absolutely sure. I'm planning on bringing two cars & staying in our trailer; if I purchase a 40x60 space in the RV lot, are we allowed to keep race cars in there or is that strictly for RV's? The other question, I'm planning on running in SE46 & H1 with the two different cars. The way the supersizing option reads is I can apply one of the classes to this, as it is a second race class, however the only option for a supersize race entry is in one of the ST classes. Thanks for the help Marie Edited April 28, 2021 by CDRacing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help Marie No such thing as a silly question. You may park your cars in your RV space as long as there is room and you don't intrude into anyone elses space. The most common super size is always ST, hence why we have it set up that way. If you'd like to supersize into the two classes you mentioned above give me a call and I can assist you with your registration over the phone. We get so few that we simply handle them on a case by case basis. (510-680-2854) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timb Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Marie, I'm trying to interpret the eligibility language. I intend to compete in both race group as well as TT at this year's championships. I have completed 3 races and have 4 TT days so far. I am using two of those TT's for race eligibility to make up my five races. Do I still need two additional TT days for TT eligibility, i.e. 6 total TT's? Or have I already made myself eligible for both race and TT? Many thanks in advance for guidance here.

02Roushstage3 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Marie, I wanted to clarify eligibility for Championships. If i have 4 out of the 5 required now, does the remaining event need to be completed prior to Daytona or could it be done say in October at Watkins Glen and still count towards the requirement? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
