Logistics & Setup

Do Paddock SimWorks operate year-round?
Yes! Our climate-controlled trailer allows us to operate in both hot and cold weather. We only close during severe weather conditions that would make travel unsafe.
What if it rains during an event?
No problem! Since our setup is inside a fully enclosed trailer, events can proceed rain or shine. We’ve also got a 25 ft. retractable awning to keep spectators out of the elements.
