We are 1 week away from the start of the 2014 Shootout, and for the racers that are new to this event I wanted to explain how the parking situation will work again this year. Hobby Haven shares the strip mall's parking lot with other businesses so during the Shootout we will have some signs posted to help inform you where you can park at.
If you look at the map the green zones are ok to park in all weekend long.
The yellow zone is off limits only on Friday.
The red zone is off limits all weekend long.
The blue area is where we pit. So drop your cars off and then move your vehicle so the next racer can drop off their gear too. Since we are pitting outside in the parking lot here is a list of recommended items:
Tent
Pit table
Chair
Extension cord
Pit light
Power strip
Tire wash bucket
FM radio
There will be additional parking by Sunday as most of the other businesses are closed in the strip mall near Ted's Coney Island West, but our main concern are the 2 businesses located right next to the Haven in the red and yellow zones.
Thanks for your cooperation!

All A Main finalists that aren't currently sponsored in either category are eligible to win both of these great prizes. If no one in the A Main group qualifies then we will move on to the lower mains until we find our winners.
Plus, all drivers in the A and B mains will be eligible for a possible ORCA sponsorship!

Back for this year's Shootout is the "Quest For The Red Plate. Thanks to FactoryOne 9http://www.factoryone-rc.com), racers who TQ their class will receive a white number 1 sticker with a red background. Positions 2-10 will run stickers with black numbers and a white background. These will only be used for the Mains.
The “Red Plate” in motocross and supercross designates the current leader in points, and we thought it would be cool to add this element to our race program. This will help to recognize the TQ's achievement and for race fans to identify the cars better since they can see the numbers.
Again these numbers will only be used in the Mains and we will also hand out sponsor sheets for all A Main finalists too.
