They no longer give you the chrome sticker for restricted area access if you are a driver. They said you are in the car so you don't need it.

The question I had was, what happens when you are outside your car in the lanes, which are restricted. They did not have an answer. If you are a crew member you can get the access sticker. If you are a driver, you will have to get on another drivers credentials to get the pass. If you don't have a friend that has a crew pass left you are out of luck.

I am not sure why or what was the reason for this. Many drivers crew for other racers in other classes. All drivers sign the waiver for the restricted areas. I'm sure this is a mistake.

Ken,
This has to be one of the most idiotic things ever for them to change. I'm still surprised with todays technology we have to spend so much time standing in line at the credentials trailer. They have my membership number and a signed waiver attached to a car/driver number already so unless the waiver changes there is no need to sign a new one at each event. In fact just send me a plastic card to be scanned and the events where we paid it allows us in. It is gonna be hilarious when Force isn't allowed on the starting line as it will make for one of his all time best interviews! (You don't happen to know a software guy who could solve this for us do ya?;-)
