If pits are too muddy, pitting will be on the stage under the cover. It will be cart in and cart out, no vehicles other than race machines on stage. There is overflow covered pitting in a dry barn with pavement connecting buildings.

When you’re done with your mains, please pack up and make room for the evening program."

The evening program, again, per the IV blog:

"Be in and pitted by 2pm with registration completed by 3pm. Riders meeting at 3pm with practice to follow. Back gate will be open from 7 am. please arrive early."

Sunday:

Gates open at 1pm for spectators. The racing starts at 2pm, and is expected to end by 4:30pm. The parking rate remains $10.

Camping and Attendance Notes

Camping, per the IV blog:

"With the recent weather, camping has been a hot issue. We are working on a solution with the goals of dryness and cleanliness. As of now if the weather clears, Del Mar will charge $10/night for the stable area. There is a full hookup campground on the property for $34/night but there may be a parking lot we can use but we have not been promised that yet. "

Because conditions are probably going to be sort of miserable, make sure to dress warm. The arena seats and track are covered, but make sure you're prepped for the inclement weather!

Happy racing/spectating!
