I would like other promoters to share their experiences in getting permits

Who to approach for permits.

How to conduct yourself when asking for a permit.

The use of charity events to reduce permit fees.

How to procure Insurance riders for the event.

Where to find race supplies and displays for rent.

Any important items not listed in the above are welcomed.

For my July 4th race I explained in letter to the people who controlled the road I was using (The Metropolitan District Commission) who I was, who we were, how many people were likely to be there, our safety record, that we were responsible adults, and that we would comply with any rules that the Police might deem necessary.

I was granted permission to use the roadway- a major highway that runs along the Charles river....for no cost.
