If any of these vehicles are brought to the raceway, you will be asked to impound the vehicle prior to parking in your camping space. Impound is located through Gate 6 in the 50 Acres Campground. If guests refuse to impound their vehicle, they will be turned away and not allowed to enter the facility.  Single-person electronic convenience vehicles, built specifically for guests with disabilities, are permitted. 

Impounded vehicles can be picked up Sunday after the race and on Monday morning.  Exact pick-up times will be provided when you arrive at the campground.  When picking up your impounded vehicle, you must arrive in your RV prepared to leave the campground.  You will not be allowed to return to your camping space.
