May 22, 2017 INDY Memo -- UPDATE FRP information for the SVRA event at Indy, June 8-11 Read the information on the SVRA website under the All Open Wheel Weekend event heading. 1) The Test Days: FRP has no connection to the test days on Wednesday and Thursday, June 7-8. You must apply directly and space is limited. From FRP s prospective, we feel it will be of limited use as there are only two 20 min sessions each day and it will be crowded, mixed classes; but it is your call. If you plan to participate, please let us know as it will affect load in (see below). 2) Load In: FRP will be in the 5 th street lot paddocked with F4 and near the gasoline alley garages. It will be tight and FRP will park you. It is imperative that we know whether you are participating in one or both test days. Our planned load in is Thursday, June 8 th for those not participating in the test days. 3) Registration: Registration is outside the speedway and you need to register with SVRA (a USAC hardcard alone is NOT sufficient) and sign waivers. Registration is in the IMS Administration building on 16 th street. Hours are 7am-5pm Wed-Fri, 7:30am-3pm Sat and 8-noon on Sunday. FRP has uploaded all crew, staff and VIP names with USAC hardcards to SVRA to use as crew lists for credentials. 4) Race Groups: F2000, FC is group 6; FF, F1600 is group 7; Atlantic, FA, PFM and F1000 is group 11. Given the entries, this is the closest we can get to pure single class racing. There will be a small number of cars in each group which are not racing for FRP points and championship, but they will be in class. All FRP championship cars will be on correct Hoosier tires supplied by the Hoosier factory (not a dealer) located in our paddock. 5) Golf Carts and Paddock Carts: They must be insured and credentialed by SVRA or the paddock police will park them. Look for insurance application and golf cart rental application on the SVRA site or below. If you bring your own, make sure you read the requirements on the SVRA site, it s very specific. DEADLINE IS THE 23RD, OR THERE ARE ADDITIONAL COSTS https://svra.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2017-svra-golf-cart-packet-.pdf https://svra.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/2017-golf-cart-insurance-coverage.pdf 6) Track access: Access will be 24-7, but make sure you have your credentials with you. 7) Fuel: Fuel will be supplied by Corrigan Oil- We are working out whether you need to pre-order or if we can do a bulk buy. Stay tuned. 8) Entry fee payments: For those who have already paid, Thank You For those who have not yet paid your entry fee; we will contact you directly for payment. While you can still pay at the track, we would prefer you do so earlier as we have already paid SVRA for your entry. May 22, 2017 INDY Memo -- UPDATE page 1 /2
