I’ve always dragged a wagon with a cooler of beer behind me while attending AMA Nationals at Red Bud. Will the rules be the same at MXdN?
Not sure if they've announced the final word yet

I posted that this would be the case (based on the same event last year) a few months ago and got shot down for merely suggesting it, seems I wasn't "out of my mind" afterall!
Based on what I've read, I've put together this useful guide for drinking at Red Bud MXoN
Around 2001 or so my buddy and I got word that they weren't allowing beer to be brought inside the gates at the Glen Helen National. Damn it, what now we thought?
My buddy an I knew we wouldn't be able to afford $10 beers all day, so we hit Albertson's the morning of the National and tried to figure out a way to smuggle in booze instead.
While in the liquor isle, I noticed that Margarita Mix had a strong resemblance to Lemon-Lime Gatorade. We quickly grabbed one to confirm and damn, it was a close match!
We had our plan and we bought something like 6 bottles of Margarita Mix, 12 or so 32oz Lemon-Lime Gatorades and a handle of silver Jose Cuervo. The good stuff...good for a bad hangover!
Out in the parking lot of Albertson's we began pouring out perfectly good Gatorade, but immediately we had decided to keep about 1/3 of the Gatorade in each of the containers for "hydration", and to cut the sweet-tart taste of the Margarita Mix.
We then mixed in another 1/3 of Margarita Mix and another 1/3 of Tequila.
Mind you everything was room temp, but once we shook one up and had a taste, we new were on to something!
We covered up the 12 or so of the 32oz incognito concoctions with plenty of ice in our cooler and drove off to Glen Helen.
Getting past Security was a breeze, the guy dug through a layer of ice and said, "Man, you guys really like Gatorade", we said, "Nope, it was on sale and it's gonna be a hot one!" And we were in!!
It wasn't long after we realized how potent this mix was and at around halfway through the day, a guy who had been standing near us walks up with a cup and says, "they're ain't no way that's just Gatorade, you guys are having too good of a time. Pour me a splash would ya?" He took one sip and said, man, that stuff is toxic!
We decided then that we'd call it "Toxic Gatorade", and although it sounded lame, that name stuck for awhile until a year or so later when we decided on calling it "Gatorita!".
If you partied with us at the races, the river, concerts and etc from that point on until the late 2000's, there is a 100% chance that you drank Gatorita. We eventually started mixing it by the gallons and we brought that stuff everywhere!
Anyhow, wish I could make it to the MXoN at REDDDDD BUDDDDDD!! Hopefully somebody will have a Gatorita or two for us!
Cheers!
