•Maintain six feet of social distance from anyone not on your team
•Stay home if you have symptoms
•Tell Lemons officials immediately if you have symptoms on site  

PARKING/PADDOCK/FACILITIES
•Paddock parking is first-come, first served.
•Special reserved parking (garages, awnings, RV hookups, luxury condos) are handled by the track--contact them directly for info.
•Paddock spaces are typically around 20x40.' If you have vehicles that won't fit in that box, be prepared to park in lots outside the main paddock.
•The timing tower is off limits--please keep out. 

REGISTRATION
•All Drivers and Crew must check in at the gate, sign the Lemons waiver, and get a Participant wristband before entering.
•Spectators--review the spectator info above.
•Drivers must check in separately with a valid street license at Lemons HQ in the paddock to get a Driver wristband (Crew members only need the Participant wristband obtained at the gate).
•Drivers can get their wristbands anytime--you don't have to wait for your team's assigned car tech time. HQ will be open during tech and race hours.

BS/CAR TECH
•Your team's BS/Car Tech time will be assigned. Check the schedule above for your team's time.
•Complete your tech sheet BEFORE coming to BS/Car Tech.
•Once you have completed BS/Car Tech, turn in your completed tech sheet to Lemons HQ and you will get your team packet.

GEAR TECH
Wear your full safety gear, including head-and-neck restraint, to gear tech
•Gear Tech takes place during regular tech hours. You can show up anytime--you don't have to wait for your team's assigned car tech time. If you miss it, just go the Penalty Box for a onesy-twosy inspection.
•Drivers can get their gear teched anytime--you don't have to wait for your team's tech time. Check the schedule above for Gear Tech times.

FUELING
•Fueling will be in the hot pits (and track pumps). No fueling in your paddock space during the race. NEW FOR AUTOBAHN THIS YEAR.
•Everyone in the fueling area must be in full safety gear.
•Everyone in the fueling area must be a registered driver or crew member--no spectators.
•Bring your supplies up, fuel the car, and take it all away. No staging of fuel or gear.
•There are no assigned hot-pit spots.
•Don't park support vehicles near the fuel area.
•Kill switch off; no one in car; drip pan in place; and a dedicated extinguisher person are all mandatory while fueling.
•Only fueling, driver change, windshield cleaning, and cool-suit ice changes allowed in the hot pit. For everything else (tire pressure, fluid checks, engine swaps) go to the paddock.
•Full gear is not required at track pumps, but no one can be in the car and the kill switch must be off. 

YOKOHAMA TIRES
•Don't forget to check in at tech if you are running Yokohama tires on your race car. Once you check in, you'll be entered in the Road Mangler LM cup, which gives you a chance to win a free set of Yokos. 
•If you want to run Yokohamas but don't know what'll work for Lemons, they've set up a handy page with a couple of the most popular choices.
