Who all is planing on attending this event this year?

I'm thinking about trying to get out there from the east coast. It is the first weekend of my Mid Winter break and if some stuff works out i will try to go.

Here is the event poster:

True... Save it for a road trip out west this summer, with a week of riding and a national championship to attend.

edit: However this does sound like a really sweet event.

Anyone know what the camping situation is around there? Can you camp at bootleg?

unless you are saying its a bad race and a waste of the kids time, then why should he not take a bike vacation oh wise man?

I think he's saying in short:

Max probably has limited funds. Spending $300 on a ticket, fees to get his bike out there, lodgining, food, etc will add up to a good amount of dough. If he wants to race/ride more this summer, saving that money and racing locally will get him more bang for the buck so to speak.

It should be a fun race none the less and Bootleg is a fun place to ride.

 

[Eastern States Cup]

Correct on all obvious counts, JVN. In addition it is not USAC sanctioned so results will not count toward his goal. So yes it would be a waste of time and funds in his case.

I'm thinking I need to drive down from Reno for this.

Is it officially on? I know there were some issues with the original promoter unfortunately passing away from cancer while trying to get this going.
