Which gate to enter in Joliet

TS310C · 06-02-2010, 01:36 PM

I am just going from memory, but I don't think it could be much further than when we pit down past the scales at Indy. I hope not, or I may have to have someone haul some fuel to the lanes for me. LOL

Ryan, the dirt track is where the staging lanes are, when you come in at a bracket race the dirt track is on your rt side. from the nascar track through the back gate and up to the dirt track is a good haul. i would guess a mile too Chuck.

Someone measured it and its 1.7 to 2 miles to the lanes depending on where u parked!!!!! Hot lapping should be fun!!!

Just talked to LaFlure, it's 2 plus miles to staging. Good Luck Guy's !

We are outside the gate waiting to get in. So I snapped a couple pictures. I hope they attach. It's at least 1.5 miles to the starting line.

Here you go.

A couple of people mentioned that it is just as far in the pits at Indy or St. Louis. That may be, but atleast you were aware that this might be the case before you came. We found out when we pulled in. Had we known, we might have packed an extra bike. We all had the opportunity to back out & apply fees to another race, but we came to race. If you're here with us, good luck & offer a crew member a ride if you see them walking!

I know that you surely don't have to cross and drive on a public street to get to the staging lanes at Indy or St. Louis. They are at Joliet this weekend.
