Important Notes:

Even if you pre-pay, you MUST go to the on-site registration to check in and receive your credentials for the event. Friday registration will be in the paddock near the start/finish line in the grass under the BIG trees. Look for the big feather flags that say "registration." Saturday and Sunday registration will be outside the main gate.
The gate for this event is controlled by the All British Field Meet. To avoid having your crew pay the entry fee, they need to go through registration before it closes.
