Chuck, ya forgot to mention the lack of pitting personnel !!!! I rolled around the corner with both my cars, (that's twice) and didn't get stopped. Nobody to take my card (#9) and when I looked forward for a long way there was only 2 people parking. We used to have somebody take your position card outside and then you'd roll around to be meet by the tech card handler, get crossed off on the entry list and then be escorted by one of a number of scooter pit guys.
What we got was a young fellow standing off to the right about 50' away as you made the turn and he made no motion towards the drivers side of ya rig to offer anything !! Anyway, I went back down to his 'stealth locale' and got me stuff. What a surprise, got handed some strange looking, pre-printed forms, well ya got to see the window sticker, it's huge!!! It measures 8.5" x 5.5" and it's PINK, has your name on it and has 2 strips of sticky on each side!! Here's a pic
In California, it's illegal to have anything on your windsheild, the old sticker was small enough to not be a problem (had to remove mine before instructor would take me for class A test though) but this thing is big !!! Oh BOY, can't wait to hear about somebody having an accident because there sticker caused a blind spot, gotch-ya ears on NHRA !!!
Also, the new pit vehicle sticker is blue and about 3.5" square.
Not sure how we go about getting more crew passes with the new system but I'll find out tomorrow. I had already printed mine along with a single crew pass on the web, at 85 f%#king dollars, remember when it was $70 for so long ????? Don't get fooled by the offer that says ya get one free as that's for you as your driver's pass.
