I know it was mentioned previously, but in case anybody is still wondering, the overflow pits will be heated this year. We'll have a TV setup with audio/video from the track as well.
For those of you that haven't been here before, while the track itself is a good size, we have limited pit space. It's hard to get more than 50 people in the pits that are trackside. Last year we rented out the space next door for overflow pits and it worked out really well. Because of the way things are laid out, it's actually about the same distance (or shorter) walk from the overflow pits to the drivers stand than the trackside pits. It works out pretty well. It's the only way we can make a race this size work, otherwise we'd be cutting off signups right about now.

Haha very true Howard.
On another note and I know this has been mentioned previously, but if you're planning on attending try to make it for the Thursday club race. It's super laid back and a great chance to race with the pros in a club race atmosphere.

Sal,
No cutoff for entries, only for t-shirts. You can sign up before or at the race. We prefer that people sign up sooner since it helps us plan for chairs and tables though. You thinking about making the trip out? Looks like it's gonna be a good one!

For those of you considering this race, we've mentioned it before, but we try to give you as much track time as possible. The track is open all day Thursday with the super fun super club race at 6:30PM and then more practice afterwards. And then ALL day Friday as well.
By the time quals start on Saturday, grip is already ridiculously high.
It's no fun spending a pile of cash to only run your car a few times. It's always been our goal to keep that from happening. We've done a good job of it so far, including last year with our highest number of entries.
We learned from last year, when practice got a little crazy on Friday, and will probably do something to keep slow cars and fast cars from being on the track for practice at the same time.

Congrats to 5280 racer Kyle Klingforth on a dominating performance at nats.
