I have already checked there is no showers at the track tracy. Bring big tub with some water so you dont stink to bad...

Not quite correct. I am reasonably sure there are showers at RV parking restroom building. There are none in paddock building (although there is one in medical building - not that we want to get to that). However I am not sure what COTA is doing about RV access (the RV parking area) for the weekend.

What about Air will there be a compressor available?

[Caveman-kwebb99]

Was told no showers from mpr22. He asked someone who worked on the track. Maybe he is wrong?

Will be one at my trailer ;-)

Wonder if they'll let us climb the tower to watch other races?

If anyone knows, cnj does!

I got my information from cnj. I probably asked too narrow of a question when I was inquiring. I inquired if there would be showers available in the paddock area, the answer was no. I also asked about the use of the RV area and he was unsure then as he is today. I was hoping to camp the family at the RV park.

To clarify several questions - there are NO showers in the paddock building or in the support paddock. I will check the RV rest room drawings when I get back to the office from vacation, but as I recollect there are showers there. Those showers will only be available to the RV area which is a secured RV parking area with power hook ups for each RV position. I suppose no technical reason you could not park your race car there (unless COTA precludes), but it is a distance from the pits (at least 1/2 mile). The paddock area (either main or support paddock) does not have distributed power.

There is no compressed air. The main paddock garages have considerable power capacity but its European frequency for F1 and Moto GP . Lots of other power outlets there though and great lighting if you are lucky enough and rich enough to rent a garage. The main paddock and pits have excellent lighting. The main paddock, support paddock and pits have excellent paging capability (if SCCA have rented those systems).

I am very confident that no one is going up the observation tower without spending money (it is an amazing view by the way....) - if its even open. If it is open, spend the money and go up, you won't regret it.

This track is setup to be spectacular for professional racing. Us amateurs with large paddock car counts will need to take a chill pill as it was not designed for us and there are definitely things that will be tricky. On the other hand the safety design of the track for drivers and workers is excellent and the support equipment outstanding.

So big question is can we drive over to the RV area on a pit bike or truck to get a shower? Would sure be nice to know this...

[trimless]

If staying at the track it would be prudent to pack extra deodorant pending a final answer on the showers.

[Johnny D]

I found this. it says "washroom" whatever that is.

Also this popped up in search, nearby (walking distance) with showers.

others articles I read..
Portable showers were at the F1 event for bicyclists coming to the event.

And Chem shower at Med Building for EMS, not water showers.

I assume you are asking if COTA will allow everyone to go into the RV area to shower regardless of whether they have rented RV space?

My guess is no, but I simply need to chat COTA track operations team. We continue to work on the project, I just have not asked these questions. Fair game for SCCA to compile and ask questions too.
