This dude is! 8th year in a row, with my son. Trophy Truck 97 will be racing on Thursday. We’ll be there cheering them on as I don’t have to help/work for this race.!

I wish. Still never been to this. Shoulda gone years ago when buddy's were trying to get me to before kids. By the time I saw videos & saw how cool this event looks to be it was too late. My daughter's b-day is the 3rd so it always falls pretty much on race weekend. Have a buddy racing the UTV race that's asked for help but princess parties come 1st. When my kids hit middle school and want nothing to do with me maybe I'll hit it up.

Bring the Kids out, Steve! It's a blast! My son just turned 14 and we've been coming for the last 7 years!

I'd love to Andy but my daughter is no where near interested at this point (she's turning 6). I've tried - trust me LOL. My son I think is a different story but that's yet to be determined. Maybe in the future. I'm gonna keep trying to see if I can convince them

Renting a motor home and parking on a hill.

BW is best in town option but may be sold out already.

TT race is Thursday morning so you wanna get out there Wed night. KOH race is Friday.

One thing nice about living in the high desert. It's within 45 minutes of my house

Yeah from what I heard, if you are at anderson dry lake they make you buy them. They tightened security big time.

It’s not a bad thing IMO. Tons of BLM having to patrol and work the fields. 20 bucks admission for the week or whatever it is seems to be reasonable.

I heard tell you can't watch in any area only in the spectator area anymore?

depends on how remote you get and if youre an idiot or not. they advertise "spectator" areas and keep people away from the course. these are usually close to hammer town and the 'popular' spots.

i have moto'd over to aftershock and watch from up on the hill. stayed off the course and never had an issue.
