Load-in


Load-in will begin at 2PM CDT on Thursday 4/25/24 Thanks to Max Track Time!


BE READY AT YOUR TRUCK NO LATER THAN 1:00 PM


Load-in will begin sometime between 2:00 and 3:00 PM - please be ready to move no later than 1:30 pm. If you arrive after load-in begins, please line up at the main gate as shown on the diagram below.


Max Track Time is letting us load in at 2 PM, PLEASE be respectful, leave plenty of room for them to operate and prepare to be flexible if they happen to be parked in a reserved garage spot, which may require you to wait to park in your spot until they vacate.


Upper Paddock: If you chose to paddock in the upper paddock by purchasing upper paddock parking during registration, you will be directed to that area. NO OTHER TRUCKS MAY PARK IN THIS AREA. If you have trailers that will not be used during the weekend please drop them in the grass parking area. We will attempt to pit your team near pit out if you choose to work out of the upper paddock.


Garages: If you purchased a garage you will be directed into the 16' wide parking space associated with the garage you rented. THERE IS ONLY ONE SPACE PER GARAGE - additional vehicles must be parked elsewhere in the main paddock or lower paddock. If you have trailers that will be unused during the weekend please drop them in the grass parking area. Your pit assignment will associate with garage area.


Lower Paddock: The pit lane fence will be labeled with signs that associate with pit stall #s, showing their location. We will be releasing pit stall assignments before load-in no later than 4/24/24. Trucks will be directed towards the general area of their pit stalls. You may not be directly behind your pit stall but you will be close. Be sure to review pit assignments before load-in to aid in this process. We believe there will be ample room for all teams in the lower paddock, but teams may overflow into the Main Paddock once lower paddock is full, or may park there by choice if they prefer that area.


Note: this process may change slightly depending on factors like weather or early paddock availability, we will communicate any changes via email or text.
