WORKERS

However, we may not have enough to ensure we won’t need help from the competitors in order to ensure the course is safe and the event runs smoothly.
EVENT LOCATION
The event is a low-speed autocross, located in the parking lot on the north side of Merle Hay Mall. From I-80, turn south onto Merle Hay Road and go about 1 ¼ miles (past Aurora Ave.). When you see the big blue water tower, just past Chick-fil-A, turn right into the parking lot. Then turn right at the T intersection, then left at your first opportunity. If you happen to be coming from the south, go north past Douglas Ave. on Merle Hay Road. Turn left at the big blue water tower on your left, then turn right into the parking lot. You will then turn right at the T intersection, then left at your first opportunity. Look for cones and cars. Welcome to the Brawl at the Mall!
