Park just off the road in gravel areas or bare earth avoiding vegetation. It is okay to park on top of the short yellow grass.
Please pull off perpendicular to the road to allow for more cars. Beware of sandy area where you are likely to get stuck. We will have
parking personnel to direct you to appropriate spots. In the event that we exceed the area's parking capacity, we may ask late arrivals
to park at the Highway 78 junction and will provide a shuttle to the Competition Center area.
