What safety precautions are in place?
Safety is our top priority, but with all autocross events, there is always possible risk for anyone participating. Our track has been designed with safety in mind. All drivers are required to attend a briefing at the start of the day to review the track layout and rules. Anyone disobeying track rules or acting in an unsafe manner will be asked to leave the event. Trained first-aid personnel will be on-site all day. A signed e-waiver is required for all track participants. Concrete barriers line the track fence for an added layer of safety.
Can I enter my Street Bike/Dirtbike/Quad/Side-By-Side?
We accept all vehicles in our car show, but none of the above-mentioned vehicles are permitted to participate in track events. Only cars and trucks are permitted on the track. This is due to insurance requirements.
Do you take debit/credit?
No. We are a cash-only event. See the above question regarding ticket purchase at the gate.
Is there a rain date?
In the event of inclement weather, the event will take place the following day. If the following day also isn't possible, a new date will be set for a future weekend.
