May Madness

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So I'm hoping to get to the track this weekend for the May Madness event. Just my camera and I anyway...

Believe it or not I've never been up there for a CR event (aside from our October solo at the track). So this may be a dumb question, but will I have access to everything? Garage, paddock, all that? I assumed yes, but wanted to make sure.

And how about around the track for pictures? There are some OK spots on the infield and everything, but I always see the pro photographers at the big events MUCH closer. How's that work?

I'm hoping to just get a crapload of photos and see some racing...

	You can have access to any place you would on the Grand Am weekend. You probably won't be able to get a hot pit pass without saying that you're a crew member of a team. As for media pass to get really close, I'd imagine you still need them to get over the wall. Also, why watch, pick a specialty and work one of the two days? The only tangible perk I can offer you is lunch, but you also get the "I've worked at the track" novelty and that you get to meet other racing people.

	PS Be sure to get to the gate before registration closes, don't go directly to gate 2!
