6. RUN DIRECTION: Both days will be run in the counterclockwise direction. Since we are running counterclockwise the grid will be at the track entrance closest to the paddock. Because of this please remember when you are heading to the grid, that you will need to remove excess gravel from your tires by turning right out of the paddock and proceeding to the gate building to do a U-turn and return to the gridding area. This will ensure that most if not all gravel is removed from tires and not carried onto the track surface.
