Our crew always seems to have the most fun every year at the Halloween Classic.

We can't quite replicate their unique situation out there but their pits are "cozy" and ours will also be cozy. I wish I could find the pictures of the 2005 carpet nats pits. They are out there somewhere.

Ray Darroch had such a tower of shelving for hit pits that he had to stand on a chair to reach the top shelf. It was epic.

At both of the nats I decided to Build up using shelves.

Fortunatley we have a home depot and lowes both about 2 miles from the track. The one hotel is located right next to the home depot.
The IIC was 36x18 for a few years. Now its 36x27 I believe. 18 is plenty if you plan accordingly!

race sponsors will be given the opportunity to reserve pit spots. potential sponsors -- we will be engaging starting this friday. you can also talk to myself, fairtrace or sodano.

the remainder will be available on a first come/first serve basis (your friends can save spots) but who needs friends when all they do is make fun of how much of a mess your pits are
