USAC/CRA will honor ALL recognized race track or sanctioning body membership cards at this year's Louie Vermeil Classic in Calistoga over Labor Day weekend. Pit gate prices will be $30 for a member and $45 for a non-member. You must present a CURRENT 2009 membership card from the track or sanctioning body when buying your pit pass to receive the member price. To clarify this for everyone before they arrive, YOU MUST HAVE YOUR MEMBERSHIP CARD WITH YOU. A $30 pit pass is a great deal, but you must have a membership card.
Secondly, USAC/CRA is offering a transfer pass to get from the pits into the grandstands. It will NOT allow you to go back and forth, but will allow those of you who like to go into the pits early and hang out with the teams and then go up in the stands for the races and sit with your family. We know that some tracks do allow you to go back and forth, but most pit areas are on the outside of the track and therefore you don't need to cross the racing surface to get to the stands. Another issue is that some people like to go into the stands and drink beer and then things get a little heated when the security guard won't let you back into the pits etc. With that being said, you can purchase the additional pass for $15 over and above your pit pass and at the same time you buy your pit pass. It will allow you to go from the pits over into the grand stands ONE TIME and at this time your PIT PASS WILL BE REMOVED from your wrist once you enter the stands. Pit crews will still be allowed to go back and forth to their race trailers to get parts etc. It is at the discretion of the security guard at the pit gate when it will be safe enough to allow anybody to cross the race track, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get across.
If you have any questions, Please call Tommy or Jeanie Hunt at Hunt's Race World at 916-863-7223. Please call soon since it will be hard to work things out the day of the race, and we would rather work things out now and have you enjoy your time at the races.
Tickets are selling much faster than last year, so call Hunt's Race World and order yours today!
