pjcnlv Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) It looks like the BITD 250 race is using the exact same course as last year. We are gathering a group of people to check out the race and we expect to see the racers go by twice within an easy ride from camp. Here is my cheap map. The orange is the race course. Blue is the paved access on the east side of the dunes. Lightblue is the dirt access on the backside of the dunes. Look for the camp with the Hawaiian flag flying!

I am not sure what the BLM could possibly say when the race course goes right through the access roads to the dunes at one point. There is a spectator area in Crystal and in Amargosa central this year so hopefully Barney will be busy there. We'll head out Friday afternoon and will likely be set up by the kiddie track on the west side. Quote
dreamrr Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Will it be going on on Sunday the 30 also? I was planning a trip to Dumont that day, but maybe I will head out to Amargosa instead! Quote
superdave Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 only saturday. last year the blm just told us to stay near the dune area and away from the race course. of course we didnt listen. Quote
pjcnlv Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) We are still going out on Friday. I think we'll camp on the west side for sure. Most of my regulars that go all have excuses. We do 19+ trips a year. Gotta use the toys and be with the family! Look for the Hawaiian Flag! Edited April 19, 2006 by pjcnlv Quote
