To access the installation, you must complete the Visitor Pass Information Form by 26 March. The team will obtain pre-printed passes for distribution at the Brinkerhoff Road Race on Saturday, 11 April and just outside of the visitor center on race day.

If you do not submit the form by the deadline, you will need to obtain a visitor’s pass yourself from the West Point Visitor Control Center, which is open daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

If you have submitted the form but do not pick up your pass from the team at the Brinkerhoff race, you can collect it from race volunteers stationed just outside the Visitor Control Center. This will save you time and may eliminate the need to stop inside.
