Event Rules & Guidelines
Carry in coolers are allowed. Alcohol is allowed, but no glass of any kind. General admission passes will get you anywhere on the grounds other than the pits.

We are here to have a good time, but anyone caught doing burnouts, donuts, or any other form of reckless driving on the grounds will be told to leave immediately. No pit bikes or mini bikes are allowed due to insurance and liability regulations. Revving engines is 100% ok! Quiet time on the grounds will be from 12:00am to 6:00am.
