2021 Runoffs Report - September 28
Runoffs Report – September 28 - Evening
Thanks for a great day of qualifying on Sunoco 260 Tuesday.
Paddock Speed
We continue to see race cars, street cars and pit vehicles driving too fast through the paddock. We have already had a number of accidents in the paddock. Please note that the supplemental regulations state: Race cars must maintain a safe, reasonable speed in the paddock. For all other motorized vehicles, the paddock speed limit is 15 mph. Only persons with a driver's license, SCCA Full Competition License or SCCA Pro License may operate a motorized vehicle in the paddock. Skates, Razors, scooters and skateboards are not permitted in the paddock. Please, for everyone’s safety, be careful and keep the speeds down. It’s crowded in the paddock!

Hardship laps may be requested at the Stewards of the Course (SOC) office in the East Accessory building (Room E1) across from Tech.

Wednesday Fun Activities
2nd Annual Charity Golf Cart Parade
Back by popular demand, the 2nd annual charity golf cart parade will make its return on Wednesday, September 29 and lead into another favorite, the SCCA Block Party. This year proceeds will benefit Indianapolis’ Riley Children’s Foundation as well as Lemons of Love, an organization that provides care packages to people affected by cancer. We were blown away with your creativity last year and can’t wait to see you take it up a notch! The parade will step-off from grid at approximately 6:30 pm. We will make a pass by victory circle where our expert cart announcers will make the parade call. We will then make our way around the paddock ending up at a block party stop. Get out those arts and crafts supplies and let those creative juices flow! Your goal is to raise money for your cart. Drivers, workers, crews, friends and family will “vote” with their dollars and the cart that raises the most money will be crowned the 2021 National Golf Cart Champion and win a major award! Teams can register early online at www.scca.com/cartparade. Once you arrive at the track, swing by the SCCA Staff Office on the Pagoda Plaza to pick up your cart number.
