Willard Lift Policy: The main chair in the base area services the race arena and thus requires a lift ticket for each chair ride. Your bib is not your lift ticket. Place your pass or ticket inside your speed suit or on helmet so it is on you at all times. 

Restraint bars are to be used at all times on the chair. It’s the law!!
