Similar to flying standby, waitlisted drivers must check in at registration at their assigned activity time. Waitlisted drivers will be notified shortly thereafter if space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. As a waitlisted guest, you are welcome to enjoy the other driving activities, Street Drives and/or iX Experience.
