Jun 26-Jun 27, 2021 | GingerMan Raceway, South Haven MI
The Rust Belt GP 2021
Entry Deadline: June 12, 2021
Schedule
IMPORTANT: DUE TO COVID, SPECTATORS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT THIS RACE. ONLY PRE-REGISTERED DRIVERS & CREW CAN ATTEND--FOR MORE ON COVID CHANGES, GO HERE: https://24hoursoflemons.com/covid/
REGISTRATION
During Covid, walk-up spectators, late registration, and late substitutions are not permitted. Everyone through the gate--drivers, crew, family, friends, kids, whatever--must be pre-registered as drivers or crew before the online reg database closes (12 days before the race). Pre-registered crew members are $75; we realize that's steep for kids, but this helps us limit bodies onsite to essential team members and streamline the check-in process. We hope to be back to normal soon!
OPTIONAL FRIDAY TRACK TESTING
Organized and operated by GingerMan Raceway (not Lemons), details TBA. When GingerMan announces its Friday Test Day prices, reg details, and hours, Lemons will email that info to all registered racers.
