​

1. The main pit area is slightly limited. We ask that you be mindful of your pit area. The pit area is different compared to last year. There will be 3 rows. Row one is in the old rv park area, and will be restricted to small groups, and camping/pitting will be on the north side of the pit road only against the fence. Row 1 and 2 will allow for pitting on both sides of the course.  Be sure to allow 25 feet between the track and your RV or trailer. Be aware that there may be pitting on the back side of your pit area. We also ask that you save the top area, near the RV park for semi’s and a very large truck and trailers.

19. Course notes. 

All Mile’s noted below are estimates!!

​

1. This is as close to the Original Yerington course that we will ever get. The first 6 miles are tight and technical. Take your time, and if caught get out of the way asap.

2. At Race mile (RM) 6 there is a ridgeline that at times become off camber. Watch this area.

3. At RM 8, there is a left turn down into a rocky canyon. Lots of Maytag’s to take you out. 

4. Checkpoint 1 is at the bottom of the hill; this is a non-staging checkpoint. Emergency only. 

5. You will make full stops at checkpoint 1,2,4,5 and start and finish.

6. All checkpoints and start finish will have 25mph zones. Most will be marked with large 25mph signs, speed zone signs, or smaller red speed zone signs. These zones will be on the GPS download. It is your responsibility to be within speed limits in these zones.

7. Starting at RM 13, there are several wash outs. We have fixed many of them, but also left a few just to change the course up some.  The ones that have not been marked are heavily marked with dangers. 

8. RM 23 becomes “skinny” with a decent cliff on the left side. Take your time.

9. RM 26 there is a lakebed to the right. DO NOT take the lakebed. Anyone caught on the lakebed will receive an automatic DQ.

10. RM 37, danger large washout. The course has been rerouted around the washout.

11. Rm 39 washout at the bottom of a blind left-hand corner

12. Just after Checkpoint 4, RM 41, the racecourse parallels the access road. There is no stopping or spectating in this area!

13. RM 52-54 are tight, somewhat sketchy and slippery.  There are a few tight corners all while coming down hill. There is also a few washouts marked with dangers.  Be mindful of this road.
