    Tickets went on sale July, 17th.. I just purchased (2) 3-day passes and a motorhome camping pass in lot C. Like last year, I plan to be in line at 10am on Thursday, Oct 10th. Gates open at noon on the 10th. If anybody else wants me to stake out their site near ours, get the tickets/passes and let me know and we will do our best to secure a compound like last year.

    Should be a lot of fun. Git'em while they're hot!!

    Get tickets here.

    I just got a motorhome space. I have not been before and this may sound stupid but if you aren't competing is there any reason to bring a motorcycle? Can you ride around the grounds and in and out of the park? Could you put a "for sale" sign on it?

    Yes, I would bring a small one to get around.

    Yes of course, stay off the track:lol3 Its nice to have a small bike to get around on as the trams can be slow, but they do come often. You have to ride to AL standards though, helmet....And beer runs offsite are easier on a bike.

    Yes, all sorts of bikes and parts are for sale.

    we have some fantastic roads that are very close to barbers. thats, and it's more fun to ride places than drive.

    google map the road barbers is on. not only is it a great curvy road to enjoy, but it leads to food (colonade) major highways (280) and interstates (459/20/59) at either ends.
