WARRENDALE, Pa., June 4, 2012 -

Reminder: Event Site will not open until 9:00am and though we know it is FSAE fashion for teams to line up early; SAE is asking that you please DO NOT Starting lining up before 8:30am.  Please note you will blocking public and access roads for Lincoln Airpark officials, fire safety and emergency crews; these will not be under our jurisdiction but the local police.

Dynamic Events Area – The dynamic events area will be indicated by lines on the pad and signs on the lines.   Although fences defining the dynamic area will not exist - the dynamic event rules remain in effect.   Specifically – Each team will be issued four (4) dynamic area passes which must be displayed by the team members in the dynamic area. 

Team members without dynamic area passes are classified as spectators and must remain in the spectator areas.  

Electrical Power – There is no electrical power on the site.  If you need electrical power you must bring a generator.  There are no exceptions to this policy and the generators used by the organizers are already dedicated to operations.

Food – There will be several food vendors located near the paddocks.

Fuel Containers – If you are using a generator or have fuel with you it must be in a DOT approved container.

Paddocks – Each team will be assigned a roughly 25’ x 50’ paddock.  Teams may park vehicles and erect tents and sunshades within their paddock at their discretion – provided the paddock is kept clean and nothing – absolutely nothing – is permitted to blow out of the paddock.

Photography – Each team may have one (1) photographer with one (1) spotter in the photographer area while the team is on the track.  Photographers/spotters must sign in at the dynamic gate and be issued photographer vests.

Spectators – Spectators are welcome, but must remain within the designated spectator areas.  Spectators who disregard the spectator area lines or signs may be ejected from the site.  Team members without hot area passes are considered to be spectators and must obey all the spectator rules.

Tents – Lincoln Airpark is a 90 acre concrete slab and the surface cannot be staked.  If you are planning to erect tents, sun shades or anything similar you must bring anchor blocks or weights.   The pad cannot be drilled or otherwise damaged.

If any member of your design, cost or presentation groups isn’t fluent in English, then they should have a translator.

Trash – Trash control is critical at FSAE Lincoln.  This site is adjacent to the Lincoln Airport and trash cannot be permitted to blow onto the airfield. You are required to keep your paddock clean and properly dispose of trash in containers or bags.  Use the trash containers and trash bags.  Trash bags are always available at registration/information.   Ask and you shall receive.

Nebraska can be very windy and loose paper and trash will blow around.  Your paddock’s cleanliness is your responsibility.

Water – There is not a readily accessible source of potable water at FSAE Lincoln.   If you need water for drinking or cleaning you must bring it with you.
