Racers,
Please read everything!
If you have a code for a season pass, please try to use it and go through the checkout for your season pass before registration closes for this first race. If you cannot do that, we will figure it out for race #2. If you think you should have race codes, please reach out TODAY. We can't handle this on-site for that night's race.
Race number 1 is this Wednesday! Season passes will still be available until registration closes for this first event. THERE WILL BE NO ONSITE REGISTRATION. PRE-REGISTRATION ONLY!
Trail conditions are superb and it should be a great start to the season. Plenty of parking is available at either the NICA pitzone area, the Rock City Trailhead, or there are places to park just off of the dirt road. We ask that you be respectful of where you park and do not block off roads, and other trails. To find your own directions to racer check-in click here. Make sure to turn up Hidden Valley Parkway, then continue up on the dirt road behind the new houses.
Please be mindful of all racers at all levels. This is supposed to be a fun event for everyone, and encourage growth in the sport! Be nice if you need to pass, call it out, and pass safely.
* There are no facilities at this venue, so make sure you take care of 'business' before you leave and bring your own water with you.

Things to remember:
- There will be no day-of onsite registration, we will only be handing out number plates to those that have pre-registered or who purchased a season pass. If you know people that are racing be sure to let them know, not everyone subscribes to this newsletter.
- Be sure to choose your category wisely. With the new chip timing system we have this year it isn't quite as easy to change
categories willy-nilly. A new number plate purchase will be required for category changes. If you are unsure which category is best for you click on the 'Categories' link on any event page and there are some suggestions listed there, or check out last year's results and find someone you know and choose your category based on their performance.
- If you have purchased a season pass already and selected 'Undecided' for your category, you will need to let us know your
category selection before 9 a.m. the day of the race. Just reply to this email, or send a message through the website.
