I never heard of a track not mailing your check. Whats that all about?, go get it or lose it?......lmao! I guess there will be a long line at the tower.

Since they want everyone out within 90 minutes, I'm guessing that's when payroll stops and the help is not going to stay (god forbid) if they aren't going to get paid! Since it doesn't take long to get through the contingency line, shouldn't be a problem! I'm being sarcastic...go figure.

The new rules were put into effect to avoid future situations at our facility. The local police advised us they would be ticketing any unlicensed vehicle riding on or crossing over the public road adjacent to the track. We don’t want our customers to receive citations, hence the rule. In the case of racers and crew having dinner at the “Finish Line Pub” security has been instructed to allow reentry to the pit area with their pit vehicles.
We all know fireworks can be a dangerous situation in the pit area and the disruption they cause to our guests trying to sleep, hence the new rule.
The one-hour after racing is completed for pit vehicles was put into effect on Thursday of the ET finals and resulted in much calmer and relaxing nights for our customers.
The new rule pertaining to picking up awards at the track was put into effect because we’ve mailed checks in the past and when we needed racer information such as social security numbers or business ID numbers the racer receiving the check didn’t reply which causes issues for us at the end of the season when we don’t have the proper information for the IRS. It’s not about saving a few bucks, we need to complete each event’s accountability in a timely fashion and having to mail checks and wait for driver or owner information slows the process.

Lex,
Thanks for the clarification on these issues. I just wasn't sure about the golf cart thing and going to have diner over at the "Pub". Just stinks that is has come down to this and you having to play the police at the track. See you at the Dutch.
