How To Follow Your Live Timing:

What is different about UNLTD Off-Road Racing Timing & Scoring? Timing & Scoring gives overall corrected time updates each time a vehicle passes over a timing gate.

Start/Finish Timing Gate: Each time you pass through the start finish line, your lap time will be recorded and your overall time will be corrected and updated on the leaderboard.

Remote Timing Gates: Each time you pass through a remote timing gate, your overall time will be corrected and updated on the leaderboard.

You can follow live corrected timing at UnlimitedOffRoadRacing.com/live.

As noted above, timing gates have been placed at the entrance to the Gene Hirst Pit and Gonzo Pit, giving you live corrected time updates to the leaderboard at these locations.

Waiver Wristbands:

Any person entering a pit needs to sign The Mint 400 event waiver and have a Waiver Wristband. This is to identify that you've signed our event waiver. This includes children, who must have an adult with them at all times.

• Adult Waiver - The 2024 Mint 400 adult waiver is now available to sign on this page.
• Minor Waiver - The 2024 Mint 400 minor is now available to sign on this page.

When can you sign the waiver? Now! Please do this ahead of the event on this page.

Where do you pick up waiver wristbands onsite? Each person must pick up their waiver wristband in person. Pick up locations for Pit Access Wristbands can be found on this page.

Can a team manager pick up all of my teams waiver wristbands all at once?

No. Unfortunately, a team manager can not pick up wristbands for the entire team. Each person must pick up their waiver wristband in person.

Pit Access Wristbands:

Any person entering a pit needs to have a Pit Access Wristband. This is to identify that you are part of a race team. This includes family members and kids, who must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

How to Register Pit Crew Members (Anyone entering a pit):

Driver/Rider of Records are required to register anyone entering their pit as a "Pit Crew Member".

This includes family members and kids, who must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

• Before pit crew members can be added to a team, they must first have an UNLTD Pit Crew Account.
• Memberships are not required for pit crew members.
• Once an UNLTD Pit Crew Account is created, they are in the database.
• Once they are in the database, Driver of Records can add pit crew member to their entries at any point from within their UNLTD Account dashboard under "Race Entries" and “Update Pit Crew”.

Pre-Registered Pit Crew:

• The first six Pit Access Wristbands are included with your entry and additional Pit Access Wristbands can be purchased by your Driver of Record for $20 from within his/her UNLTD account in the same manner as registering teammates.
• Your Driver of Record will be given all pre-registered Pit Access Wristbands at onsite registration, so pit crew members do not need to go to drivers registration. You should go straight to waiver pick up located beside the red merchandise truck at Tech to pick up your Waiver Wristband. Reminder - Waiver Wristbands still need to be picked up by each individual.

Non Pre-Registered Pit Crew:

• You may purchase Pit Access Wristbands onsite for $30 at three locations:
