Fees:
Crew (3-DAY) $55
Crew (SAT/SUN entry) $50
Crew (One-day only) $25
New for 2024 season, we are going to try allowing 1 day crew sales on Saturday again. We had previously stopped this option due to people taking advantage of the process, only purchasing a 1-day crew, but the crew attended both two days. This is blatantly STEALING FROM THE TRACK!! This also was not fair to those racers/crew members who did it right by purchasing the two-day tech card and the weekend crew credential.
We now have ticketing program which tracks 1-day tech card and crew purchases. If you come back to the gate to purchase a Sunday tech card but you do not purchase additional crew that you purchased the day before, we can look that up. Any racer caught with crew not wearing a proper wristband may be disqualified from that day’s race on the first offense. On a second offense, a racer will be disqualified from the event and lose all points for the year. If there is a third offense, the racer will be permanently banned from attending or participating in any WWTR events.
We have a very friendly break credit policy in place. If you break and cannot run on Sunday and you leave, a full credit for Sunday will be given at the tower, to be used at a future event. Same applies if we are impacted by weather and we were not able to complete a round of racing. If you break and you choose to stay, you will be given a full credit less a one-day pit pass, the remaining amount will be credited towards a future event.
