Welcome, vendors! You're awesome. You're not paying us a dime. But please follow these simple rules so nobody's tent tries to win the race.

1. Anchor your stuff.
Pop-up shades and tents need to be properly weighted or staked. Why? Because your tent blowing across the race track would be great for a viral video but terrible for the racers. Keep your shade on the ground, not in the leaderboard.

2. Wear your bling.
Everyone gets a vendor bracelet. Wear it while you're on property. It's not a fashion statement — it's how we know you're part of the team and not some rogue race fan trying to sell grilled cheese from the pit wall.

3. Two's company.
Each vendor gets 2 people for free. If you have more than two people in your party, we ask that they pay general admission.

4. Register with Rob.
We just need to know you're coming so we can save you a spot. No paperwork mountain, no stress — just a quick chat. Contact Rob Nelson at 360-809-5666 or email him at WestEndThunderRob@gmail.com to let him know you'd like to join us.

That's it. Be cool. Anchor your tent. Wear your bracelet. Two free admissions with your vendor spot. No fees. Give Rob a call. Let's have fun and keep the race — and your shade — right where it belongs.
