|  | First time? Just want to watch?
No problem -- just come out and sign the waiver like everyone else at the gate.
There's no admission just to watch, but we do ask though that you understand a
few of things: - Motorsports are dangerous. As such, this is not a good place to bring
the kiddies to. If you do, please be aware that they are not allowed to
be in the "hot" areas where the cars are. You can watch from "behind the
fence" (if you're not sure, just ask).
- Minors (which in Maryland means anyone under 18 years old) must
have a parent or LEGAL GUARDIAN sign the Minor Waivor Form for
them. This means an Aunt, Uncle, Brother, Sister, Friend is not
acceptable (unless of course you have proof that they are in fact a
court-recognized guardian). Sorry, this is a requirement imposed upon us
by our insurance, and without that insurance we can't run events.
- This is a parking lot. The facilities are "primative" -- PortaJohns is
as good as it gets. If you're the shy type who needs indoor plumbing, be
prepared to get back in the car and drive a few miles to a fast-food
joint.
- Much like kids, this is NOT an environment suitable for pets. Heat, hot
asphalt, lots of people, and loud, fast-moving cars are about the worst
environment you can think to put Fido in. Leave the four-legged fans at
home, please. One loose pooch running onto the course could likely
result in a Very Bad Day for everyone.
- Come prepared. There is very little, if any real shade on-site. We
strongly suggest that you bring (and use) sun screen, and pack water or
other NON-ALCOHOLIC beverages. We do normally have a food vendor
on-site, but he is not open all day, and is generally packed up and gone
by the time you realize you're dehydrated. Also, there are no seats or
bleachers - if you want to sit on something other than the asphalt,
bring your own chairs!
- Dress appropriately. We run rain or shine, and the weather can and will
vary greatly in the course of a day. This is an environment with a bunch
of greasy cars, greasier drivers, held on an asphalt parking lot. Your
Sunday Best is not the best choice of clothing for the day.
- Have fun, take pictures, and feel free to ask questions. Autocrossers
don't bite (except maybe for some of the Modified car owners). But
please, behave yourself. If you decide you want to show off and speed
thru the parking lot, or do some donuts to emulate your favorite driver,
please stay away. If you act like a jerk we will ask you to leave and
not come back. We value our relationship with the surrounding community,
and the lot owners, and we're not going to let a weenie pulling wheelies
on his motorcycle jeopardize that. And the same goes for the roads
leading to and from the events, except instead of a guy with a yellow
hat you get to deal with P.G. County's Finest.
