Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is there any Practice?

    No, the we have never had practice for the gold rush event. We don't even start laying out the track until a couple of weeks before the event.

What some riders will do who are in the pro classes on Sunday and want an advantage, will sign up for one of the team events on Saturday so they can get used to the track. We do not change the track between Saturday and Sunday so if you ride both days you will have an advantage over somebody on Sunday who didn't race on Saturday.

2. I have never done this race before how should I set up my bike or quad?

    Out of an estimated 8 to 11 mile track you only spend a little over a mile actually on the asphalt road course. We recommend leaving the bike set up for dirt, that's where you are going to spend most of your time.

3. How many people make up a team?

    The team race is for two people to a team.

4. Do you have to use the same bike in the team race?

    Each person in the team race can ride their own quad or you can ride one quad, it's completely up to you. You can even switch back down to one quad if you damage one during the event.

5. Do you have to alternate every lap on the team race?

    That is totally up to the team on how you switch off riders. You can have a guy ride two and half hours and the other guy ride a half hour. You can switch every lap if you wish, that's completely at your own discretion on what you and your team mate want to do.

6. Can I pre-enter for this race?

    We used to allow pre-entries but we no longer do. Signing up is pretty simple and straight forward and does not take that long. When we allowed pre-entries, inevitably people would not be able to actually show up and want a refund. The credit card companies charge us a fee both ways so we no longer allow pre-entries.

7. What if it rains or is bad weather?

    We race!

8. Is camping available?

    Yes................primitive or with electrical hook ups. Contact Hallett about hook ups.
