usmts.com/downloads. Prices will increase on race

Also running will be the United Rebel Sprint
Series (URSS) on Thursday, JLR Property Management 316
A-Mods and AutoTech Service Super Stocks on Friday, and
Heyglassman.com Stock Cars on Saturday. On Thursday,
URSS drivers will check-in and collect winnings at the
URSS trailer. On Friday and Saturday, support class
competitors will check-in and collect winnings at the 81
Speedway pit shack.
All classes are required to
use transponders and RACEceivers (preset 2, frequency
450.012).
- Officials at the 81 Speedway have recently
installed pit stall markers along the pit perimeter
fence. They are black strips that are the full
height of the fence. Please center your rig on these
markers to help us park the rigs more efficiently.
Do not park long rigs directly behind the pit
grandstands as this causes congestion on pit road.
- Line up boards are located at the pit shack,
BillsBuilt parts building and in front of the watch
stand on the outside of turn 4. You can also find
lineups on MyRacePass.
- You can listen to the announcer by tuning to FM
95.7 on your radio.
- There are plenty of trash cans in the pit area,
so please use them. Trash will be picked up Friday
morning and Saturday morning. Do not leave used
tires. There are two used oil receptacles—one is
located off of turn 1 and one is located off the
backstretch. Use these—do not put oil in the trash
cans.
- Concessions are available in pits from cart
that travels around the pit area, and at the
BillsBuilt parts store. When visiting the
grandstands from the pits, use the walk gate at
south end. The north gate at turn 4 will be locked.
