We almost got hit from a person pulling their trailer while on the way to the staging lanes as well. Do not take for granted that someone is looking out for you and is paying attention. I know it's common sense but there seems to be a lot less of that with everyone's entitlement these days.

Be safe and have fun at the track this season!

Topeka can be dangerous going to staging lanes. It is a long ways and you try to get enough speed to get over the hill.....then coast into the lanes.
