The crit has been reduced to 4 corners, the lolipop on Rivers Street will not be used.

Primary parking will be in the Peacock Hall parking lot, additional parking will be available in the rivers street parking deck, anywhere allowed on campus, or king street(paid parking). Teams with trailers will be able to park in the peacock lot, but will be required to park within as few parking spots as possible as this parking lot is a shared space and not blocked off for the race. Access into the Peacock Hall parking lot will be difficult for trailers due to tight bollards. App State Parking has authority to ask any improperly parked vehicles to move, please park within lines and do not take up full rows of parking with a single trailer.
