2007 EVENT INFORMATION
Riders
and their families have worked long and hard to arrive at this top level of
competition. We want you to have a good time at the Nationals, but we also want
you to have every opportunity to be your best in the competition. To facilitate
this, there are ground rules that we all must abide by. Failure to comply with
these rules may result in your disqualification and/or removal from the event.
Remember - the rider is responsible for his/her pit crew.
1. CAMPING PERMITS. Upon entry to the facility, all vehicles must stop at the
Front Gate Office for rider validation. Upon production of the rider’s
Acceptance Letter, the Front Gate Staff will issue the proper Camping Pass,
and all vehicle occupants will be required to sign a liability release. Affix the Camping Pass to the driver’s side
of the front windshield of your vehicle.
The permit must be displayed at all times. Each permit will be assigned to a rider. Please do not trade or transfer permits. We
realize accidents happen, but if you cause damage to any site, you will be held
responsible for the cost of repair.
2. HOOK-UPS. If you won the Lottery for a hook-up, you will be required to pay
an additional $100 hook-up fee when you check-in. Please, cash or money order only. Not all
hook-up sites have a sewer connection.
If your site has a sewer connection, be careful not to place your sewer
hose too far down into the drain. Long
hoses will block the drain if placed in too far. DO NOT USE A GENERATOR while hooked up to campground
electricity. This is not only
dangerous, but may cause electrical feedback and shut down the campground
electricity. If you did not receive a
hook-up, you may not run an extension cord or water hose from one site to
another.
3. EARLY ARRIVAL. National camping starts Sunday, July 29th. Early camping is available at $30 per
day. If arriving before Sunday, you may not have a hook-up site unless you have
been assigned one for the National week.
4. CAMPING AREAS. There are several camping areas. Individual
campsites are not assigned. However,
you may only park in a hook-up site if you have a hook-up permit. Do not use or take-up space for more than
one site. If your rig is too big for
the site you chose, you will have to relocate.
DO NOT SAVE SPOTS for friends.
If you want to camp with friends, please meet them off site and arrive
together. The camping areas are as
follows:
AREA
1 Stage Coach Hill Racer Hook-up camping - located
on left after the front gate
AREA
2 Vendors Row Racer Hook-up and
non-hook-up camping - located behind the starting line
AREA
3 Stables Racer Hook-up and non-hook-up camping - located on
right past the track
AREA
4 Western Town Guest/Non-Racer
Non-Hook-up camping – located on right before Western Town
5. ELECTRIC SERVICE. For the comfort of all of our guests, we
request that you not overload the electrical service. Our hook-ups are either 30-amp or 50-amp service. As a courtesy to our other guests, do not
plug a 30-amp rig into a 50-amp spot.
Likewise, do not overload a 30-amp service with a 50-amp rig by using
multiple appliances at once.
7. EXTRA VEHICLE PERMITS. Affix the Extra Vehicle Permit to the
driver’s side of the front windshield of your vehicle. In most cases, campsites are not large
enough to accommodate both your camper and an extra vehicle. Please park your extra vehicle out of the
way, making sure not to take up another site.
Extra vehicle permits can be purchased at the event for camping guests
only. Vehicles pulling a trailer are
not eligible for the extra vehicle pass.
8. PIT VEHICLES PERMITS. Pit vehicles (mopeds, scooters,
pit bikes, golf carts, mules) may be used by PERMIT ONLY. No ATVs or 6-wheel
Gators permitted (except staff, vendors and sponsors). Operators must be 18 years or older
in order to operate a pit vehicle and must sign the permit release. Helmets
must be worn for 2-wheeled pit vehicles.
The cost is $25 for the week.
Permits will be sold starting Friday at Noon at the Air Nautiques Dry
Dock. Only racers and campers are
eligible for Pit Vehicle Permits. Day
Spectators are not eligible for pit permits.
Proof of age and a valid AMA card will be required at time of
purchase. Unauthorized pit vehicles
will be confiscated, and the racer subject to penalty, or even
disqualification. Pit Vehicles may only
cross the county road at the designated cart crossing across from the
volleyball court. No pit vehicles or golf
carts are permitted on the county road, in Western Town or on the Ranch
trails.
9. MX Sports Court: Get your Pit Permit pulled, or do something else
stupid? The Honorable “Big John” will
convene court daily at 9am in the MX Sports Courtroom behind the Cook
Shack. Plead your case to him. He will give you a warning and place you on
probation, revoke your PV privileges, sentence you to the Chain Gang (you get
to pick up trash for the rest of the day) or evict you. If you’re really bad, he’ll just turn you
over to the Sheriff’s Department.
10. POWER WASHERS are not
permitted. There are three designated bike-washing areas for your convenience
and use: (1) Stage Coach Hill above the Campfire Show Building; (2) Area 3
adjacent to the Burnout Area; and (3) behind the Bath House in the lower
campground. Bike washing is restricted to these areas only. Power washers and water will be available at
these stations. DO NOT wash
bikes or dump pollutants in the creek or pond. DO NOT dump oils, fuels,
coolants or other waste materials on the ground. They must be disposed of
properly. “Used Oil” containers are available in the above areas for this
purpose.
11. NO CAMP FIRES. Due to the large number of guests, we cannot permit campfires.
12. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. All motor homes/camping vehicles and pit
rigs should have fully functioning fire extinguishers readily available in the
event of an emergency.
13. SANITATION. Please be courteous and properly bag your trash and place it by
the roadway for pick-up. Garbage barrels are not for personal campsite
use. Dumpsters are located across from
the Stables. It would be very helpful
if you could transport your trash to dumpsters. In addition, there will be separate dumpsters for metal objects
and tires. Please deposit these items
in the appropriate dumpster.
14. SHOWER HOUSES will close
at midnight. Anyone causing damage or destruction to a shower house will be
prosecuted. RIDING GEAR is not
permitted in the shower houses.
Portable showers are located in Area 3.

aware that the county patrol will tow all vehicles parked alongside the
road. This includes the road from the
front gate to Loretta’s house.
16. CURFEW: 11:00 PM NOISE. No noise
after this time - riders need their rest.
Loud generators must be turned off. 12:00 AM YOUTH. Guests
under 18 years of age may be taken into custody and escorted to their
parents/guardians.
17. NO RIDING. Race bikes can only be
ridden at a walking pace from your pit to the racetrack and back, or to and
from the burnout area. Otherwise - race bikes may not be ridden anywhere on the
Ranch.
18. NO WOODS RIDING. The ranch trails are off limits to
motorized vehicles of any kind. These
trails are used for horse riding.
Anyone caught violating this rule will be dealt with harshly.
19. NO DOGS. We like animals too, but due to
the large number of people and the length of the program, we cannot allow
dogs. If you bring your dog to the
event, you will be required to remove it.
20. NO FIREWORKS, FIREARMS, WATER BALOONS OR
PAINTBALL GUNS.
21. SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK in the

jump or dive into the creek from any location. The creek may be shallow in
some areas. The area on the other side
of the creek is private property that is not owned by the Ranch. No trespassing on this side of the
creek.
22. SWIMMING POOL RULES. The
swimming pool will have posted hours. No one is allowed in the pool except
during the posted times. Children under
10 years old must have adult supervision.
The following is prohibited in the pool area: food, drinks, cut-offs, bicycles, dirty clothes, oils or tanning
lotions in water, running, jumping, diving, pushing or rough playing. The pool
