| It might be a good idea for someone to update the map and directions so new latecomers might be able to find the track better than I was able to in the spring. I would do it but I'm not 100% sure after only being there one time. I followed the directions in the sticky and ended up in a muddy airport in front of a locked gate. Just a suggestion!
I can't wait!!!! | |

| I just wanted to throw this out there. I will be hauling my car to the track and I will also be hauling my car home afterwards. If you dont feel your car is going to be ready for a track day, then you should probably not attend or have your own means of transportation in the event of a failure.
If you break your vehicle dont come to me asking if you can use my trailer, because I will say no PERIOD. I will be driving Dads new truck and there will be no one but myself driving it home. | |

| Directions to the track are pretty simple. Drive through town (past Pizza Hut about 1 mile or so) and there is a sign saying Lewistown Race Way (the road was under construction, so use that as a sign you are getting close, there should be a color change in the pavement). Take a LEFT on that road, which is gravel. Drive for about 1/2 mile and there will be a gate on the left hand side of the road just beyond a small house also on the left. You should be able to see the track from the gravel. Take the road around the drag strip on the left and you will see us. | |

| I also wanted to make sure that everyone was 110% clear on the most important rule of the track:
IF YOU ARE IN A VEHICLE ON THE TRACK IT IS MANDATORY THAT YOU HAVE A HELMET, RIDING OR DRIVING. If you are caught driving/riding without a helmet you will be asked to leave, NO REFUNDS!
Safety is of the utmost importance and I want to keep our sponsorship alive as we will hopefully have 4 Lewistown events next year.
Make sure that you acquire a helmet for yourself and your passenger if you have one. | |

| So Mike. Do you have a general list of rules yet as a guidline that we can work with. Cause safety is in the eyes of the beholder sometimes. | |

| Lewistown Safety Guidelines • If you are on the track it is MANDATRORY to have a helmet whether riding or driving. • Seatbelts must be worn at ALL TIMES. • If you run off the track and need to exit the vehicle HAZARDS are necessary (Breakdowns, resetting cones, removing debris from track, Etc.) • Always yield to the faster vehicle o Using your LEFT TURN SIGNAL as a sign to let them know they are good to pass. o Cooldown lap, stay to the right lane with HAZARDS ON.

Thoughts? soooo is this still the agreed time and place for meeting? and when is the drivers meeting? just to solidify since theres only... 3 DAYS TILL THE MOST EPIC(one of at least) DAYS EVER!!!!!! so stocked to see what the 'ol gsr can do!! | |

| I also want to make it clear to EVERYONE that we are going to be entering the facility in a professional manner. There will be no hot roding or doing burnouts as soon as we enter the grounds. If you are caught screwing around and acting like a moron you will be asked to leave and that is the rule for the whole day, not just when we show up. I want to keep this organized, safe, and professional as possible.
I have also talked with Matt and he will be giving the drivers meeting this time to ensure more track time (I will be setting up the course).
I was also thinking that we may run til 5 or 6 depending how the day goes. | |

| The later the better for me. Yay!
Hey Mike. we need to come up with a way to communicate with drivers at LEAST as they come by the pit area. Like maybe a green flag for all is ok.... and a red flag for something bad happened stop all cars? The last thing we need is a one car accident turning into a three car accident because people are still running on the track when things are trying to get picked up. | |

| There is not going to be a bathroom this time as they pull the potty every year on Aug. 1st. They want another $70 to put one on the site. I figured cones were more important, so sorry for the ladies that are going to be coming up, but we are going to be rolling 'country urinal'. | |

On another note I've got the memory card on my camera clear and ready for a thousand more pictures. And if anyone would like me to take pics or videotape them going around the track with their own camera just let me know and I'll make sure to get you some footage. I personally cant get enough pics/vids of my car on the track. | |

| Just got off the phone with Matt and I think we have some pretty good ideas for keeping everyone as safe as possible. He will be going over everything we talked about at the driver meeting.
There is going to be a 12:00 to 1:30 lunch/picture break and there will be no cars running during this time. If you are caught running during the downtime you will be asked to leave.
We also talked about having 2 run groups depending on how many vehicles show up. You will run 20 minutes and then break. We will have a white board that shows either open course or pit/cool down lap.
After the last few meets we have learned from our mistakes and we are working on trying to make this as fun/safe as we can. It may seem like we are being sticklers, but these rules apply as most, if not all race tracks. | |

Hey man.... I'll probably be going slower as Denis's trailer I'm borrowing has a bent axle and he says it goes through tires pretty fast. I have two spares for it so we'll see..... I'll just be going slow in case one of the tires blows. So maybe we can make the slow group. lol | |
