Frequently Asked Questions
To help Super DIRT Week attendees plan for the big event, staff members in the DIRTcar NorthEast office have tracked the numerous phone calls received and compiled a comprehensive list of the most frequently asked questions. Here are the questions and the answers:

1. Are we allowed to have campfires?
Campfires will not be allowed on the ground. Fires must be kept in an above ground container. Fans can either use a unit purchased from a department store, or a simple barrel bottom supported by two bricks.

2. Are we allowed to bring alcoholic beverages?
Alcoholic beverages may be consumed at campsites and other areas of the property. No glass containers are allowed anywhere on the Fairgrounds property. Coolers, bottles, cans and food items are NOT allowed in the grandstand area. Please have fun, but drink responsibly.

3. Can I bring my ATV?
Motorized traffic throughout the Fairgrounds is limited to golf carts. ATV’s may be used by race teams and officials in the Pit area only. Walking and non-motorized cycle riding are allowed. All golf carts and ATV’s require a permit ($25) that can be purchased at Super DIRT Week. You may bring your own golf cart or they can be rented from Mid-State Golf Car. (315-386-5988). Rental rates are $50 per day for 2 passenger units and $75 per day for 4 passenger units.

4. I am camping at the Fairgrounds. Must I leave my pet at home?
No pets of any kind allowed on State Fair property with the exception of service dogs. Any dogs or other pets seen on NYSF property will need to be removed.

5. When can I move my camper on to the property?
Campers often wait for opening day on the hill outside of the fairgrounds. Gate 7 will open at Noon on Tuesday, October 2. General camping sites are first-come, first-serve.

6. Can we have fireworks?
Fireworks are strictly prohibited on the New York State Fairgrounds. Violators will be removed from the property.

7. I am camping. Do I also need a parking permit?
If you have a separate vehicle from your camping unit, you will be required to purchase a parking permit for the vehicle. Infield parking is $30 for the week. General parking is $15.

8. Can we have scaffolding at our site?
Scaffolding is prohibited by NY State Fairgrounds regulations.

9. Where can I find Handicap parking?
Handicap Parking is located outside of turn 1 at the end of the grandstand. You must display a valid Handicap Parking Permit to park in this area.

10. Can we meet the drivers?
A special autograph session with the top 30 qualified Modified drivers will take place under the grandstand on Sunday, October 8 at 11:45 AM. Several vendors on Vendor Row will be hosting interviews with drivers, officials, and others associated with Super DIRT Week and DIRT racing.

11. Where can I take Lost and Found items?
The Fan Information Center will be located at the tunnel exit outside of turn 4. Please bring Lost and Found items to this location.

12. What do we do if we have an emergency?
Stuff happens. If you are having some problems, emergencies can be reported to any security officer, employee in a ‘staff’ or ‘official’ attire, at the Information Center, or by calling 315-487-8636. Paging of spectators is not possible unless in case of emergency.

13. The schedules have changed. How can I find out what is going on?
Communication at Super DIRT Week is greatly improved for 2007. Information can be obtained at the Fan Information Center located at the tunnel exit outside of turn 4. Schedules will be available in the Post Standard that is delivered to the Fairgrounds every day Wednesday through Sunday. Event information will be broadcast on 100.1 FM. Radio headsets are available for purchase at the DIRT Merchandise locations. Limited Edition SDW XXXVI Collectible Programs are available for purchase at the DIRT Merchandise locations and the Program Kiosk. Feel free to stop and ask any of our staff members of officials. We are all happy to help answer your questions.

14. Can we hang banners and signs?
We love it if you bring banners and signs to cheer on your favorite driver(s). Your signage must be in good taste and must not obstruct the view of your fellow fans. And remember, Super DIRT Week events will air on SPEED on Oct. 28 so make a sign you think might get you on TV.

15. We are bringing children. Do we have any way to protect them from obnoxious fans?
Fans using abusive or profane language in the grandstand area or who are deemed intoxicated will be asked to leave the facility. Please don’t hesitate to report any disturbances or offensive behavior at any location on the property to the closest uniformed employee or security staff.

16. We want to attend the events at Rolling Wheels Raceway and Cayuga County Fairgrounds, but we really don’t want to unhook from our RV or we just really don’t want to drive – is transportation available?
FREE bus transportation to Rolling Wheels Raceway and Cayuga County Fairgrounds is available on Friday and Saturday nights. Buses will pick up and drop off passengers at Gate 11. Contact the Fan Information Center for times and to reserve a seat.

17. How can we find out the scanner frequencies?
Frequency sheets are available at the Racing Electronics Trailers located on both on Manufacturers Row and Vendor Row.

18. Will church services be held on Sunday morning?
Finish Line Chaplain Pastor David Wells will be conducting services at the Gater Racing News location on Vendor Row Sunday morning, October 8 at 10:00 AM.

19. How can I be admitted to watch the pre-race inspection and Happy Hour on Wednesday?
Admission to activities on Wednesday is free with any combo package.

20. We are bringing small children or babies to Super DIRT Week. What is the admission policy for small children?
