I know what a pit crew is, my question is do we have to get a pass for anyone who will be working in our pit area? What about just the bystander who will be helping get on off the bike each time? Or are the passes meant for the hot pits only?
I guess I don't understand what I am paying for and don't know how many I would need. I didn't see anything in the rule book that really explains this.
Unless it's changed, it can be used by anybody who regularly attends the races with you (ie: pit-crew/significant other/best friend/etc.)... it ends up being cheaper than paying the entry fee for them for each race weekend. Alternatively, you can loan them to friends to attend one (or more) race weekends (just be sure to get them back so you can give them to someone else for the next race weekend). You could also give them to a sponsor if they are going to be attending one or more race weekends.
Does that help?
Others: if I missed anything, please chime in! 8)

Everything works out in the end. If it hasn't worked out, it isn't the end!
Bob got it pretty well, but here are the differences between an Associate Membership and a Crew Pass:
Associate Membership
- Has voting rights in MRA elections
- Is assigned to a specific person and can only be used by that person for gate entry
Crew Pass
- has no voting rights
- is not assigned to any particular person, so anyone can use it for gate entry
If you have one or more people that you know will attend and/or help you at each event and you think they will help you stuff the ballot box, they should get Associate Memberships. If your crew is less consistent but you want to be able to get people in w/o paying gate fees, you should purchase a couple crew passes with your license so you can get people in to help.

You begin your racing career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
Can someone confirm the cost of gate entry for 2009?
Also - is gate entry good for the weekend or must it be paid each day?

how much are crew passes for 09? Where do i go to get them?
If you and a friend are volunteering for hours, do you need a pass also?
Everybody either has to have a pass, associate membership, race membership, or pay at the gate to get in to the MRA events.
I have the crew passes at pre-tech in the mornings $55 each - AND they can ONLY be purchased by licensed MRA racers.
