Not sure about why that is in the info....but it is WRONG! Camping IS allowed, if you use power see the manager No different than what THEY require...... Price is based on attitude......if you are a male of a female, a female of a male, have dog or cat, ride jap or euro, chevy or ford, white or dark..........left or right, dem or reb, riding or viewing.......what oil you use.....syn or dino......hang out on the BBS and view the NSFW post......??????? Please link here! Rant or provide.... If you have cash and don't crash............ If you have cash and crash softly without requiring major delays....... See you in May!
What all is required as far as membership fee's? I was going to ride on the weekend before at Tally but got to work so I am off the weekend of the Floribama ride. So if I just want to ride on Sunday what is the total it will cost me all fee's included?
20 dollars for membership, 1 day is 140.00 total 2 day is 230.00 IIRC I will check to make sure....hope to see you at the Track! Garry
These are great folks and they run great events. Don't crash and ruin a good thing. I hate I'm going to miss this one.
FYI: The weather looks GREAT! Gates will open at 5:00pm Friday for early set up. Camp fires are allowed....BUT be responsible, standard fire saftey rules apply!!!!!! Do not leave fires unattended. We have some folks that are camping, it should be perfect! We will have hot dogs and snacks Saturday night, for all those attending. Garry
