I'm typically out on the infield for every moto all week, so the heat info is spot on. I usually carry a rag, wet it with cold water a few times a day and wear it on the back of my neck. Old trick and kind of a "well, duh?" thing to do but it's a pretty big help.
If you tube the creek from the beach (straight back from the start) all the way to Loretta's house, be ready for about a 2-3 hour trip.
There's a fairly good size laundry mat in Waverly but if you catch a lazy evening with not much going on and/or some rain, it will probably be crowded.
When parking, make sure to pay attention to the guys telling you where to go and please park as close as you can to your neighbor. I know everyone likes to have lots of room but just put yourself in the shoes of someone who got there later and didn't have a good spot because someone else took up a huge amount of room. Doesn't seem fair, does it?
There's a lot of staff there that have been working non-stop since March. Jeff Russell, Ryan Echols, myself and a few others will be there but we've also laid out, sat up, had races, torn down and reclaimed 9 GNCC events so far this year and also had a PAMX, LL Regional, Pro National and ATVMX race at High Point, plus an ATVMX race at Ironman during the weeks between those 9 GNCCs. If you break down and one of us is helping you, we feel for you. We're all racers ourselves and understand your frustration but please don't take your frustration out on someone who is trying to help you. Remember that at anytime, there could be a sponsor, OEM, etc watching and you want to represent yourself in the best way possible. That goes for any interaction you have with anyone, you don't want to give anyone the wrong impression of yourself.
Food:
All the vendors are good, but Cissie Lynn's Country Store across the street makes some great food as well. Smoked Turkey sandwich is on point...
Next to Walmart in Waverly is a place called Jen's Steak and Seafood. It's rarely very busy the times I've been there but it's pretty good. Their grilled Cajun catfish is awesome.
Log Cabin goes without saying for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Never had anything there I didn't like.
There's a little walk up BBQ place across the street from Log Cabin. It's also really good!
Biggest, baddest race of the year. For us that live in and around TN, most all will be there. Best week, expect a storm also.
We are planning our first trip to LL's this year just to spectate, we aren't racing. My kid wants to try to qualify next year.
Likely will be staying at a hotel and driving to/from the track each day. I want to bring a golf cart with me to cruise around in, but I read where spectators aren't allowed to bring in pit bikes/golf carts. Is there any way around that? It's already going to be miserable out there, I'm not interested in walking around with a chafed ass for a week. I think we will drive up Wednesday, watch the races Thursday and Friday, then return home Saturday.
Its a camping, drinking, golf cart riding, trail riding, creek dippin extravaganza.
We are told to "not even look at" the MX track.
I did get a ride a small part of it as part of the GNCC race a couple of years ago. Pretty cool.
If there is an updated thread please post a link!
P.S. I thought about bringing in a STREET LICENSED scooter (not really considered a pit vehicle) in the back of my truck. But, I imagine this won't be allowed. Even if they charged me and extra 40 for another vehicle I would do it.
Pit Row
You cannot register until Sunday at 4:00, but I am seeing things where people arrive as early as Thursday.
I was originally planning on arriving Sunday morning, but may want to rethink that. They do charge an extra $40/night if you get there any earlier than Sunday. It's all about the $$$
Good luck and enjoy yourself!

I was looking to try and get around bradshaw, canard or stewart brothers, but I don't know if they are actually a good area.
I honestly planned on taking almost all cash.
