GNII Update

As the race grows near, people are starving for more and more information. So here are some updates on whats coming over the next few days:

• We have just finished publishing a entry list for the event on the Grand Nationals II page. Please check it out to make sure your information is correct!
• There have been numerous requests for reserved pit spots at NCMP. Mike Adams and his team at New Castle will be handling all the pit reservations themselves. Please call 765-987-8090 to make any arrangements.
• We have finished putting the finishing touches on the weekends race schedule, and it is now available for download on the Grand Nationals II page. We managed to squeeze even more laps into the event this year, and actually have the races scheduled to be longer than we originally advertised!
  • Thursday gates will be open 10:00am – 7:00pm for load in only. There will be zero track activities! Drivers participating in the grands will not be permitted to practice on Thursday.
  • Friday gates will be open 8:00am – 7:00pm. Structured practice will take place from 9:00am – 5:00pm.
  • Saturday is going to be an early start compared to our Divisional schedules, be ready to go by 8:00am!
  • Sunday  again starts at 8:00 am.
• A copy of the pretech sheet that every driver will be given at check-in has also been posted to the website. Please take the time to look over your equipment prior to leaving for New Castle to eliminate as many repairs at the track as possible.
• There has been some confusion about what fees drivers and their crews will be responsible for when they arrive at the track. All of the fees listed here are charged by NCMP, and you will take care of it with them when you arrive. Here is the break down, as they vary slightly from our Divisional program:
  • Weekend event pit pass- $35
  • Sunday only pit pass – $20
  • Transponder rental – $15/day
  • Friday practice fee – $40
  • Reserved pit spot – $50
• Finally, we are pleased to announce that we wil have the brand new CKNA Grand Nationals II t-shirts available for sale at the track! We have sizes from Youth Medium to XXXXL! A big thank you to the folks at Styled Aesthetic for getting them done in time. Shirts will be $20, and available at registration while supplies last. Here is what they look like:
