1. Who here is all going?
2. If you camp nearby is it easy to park and come back every day? I've never been but I've always wanted to and I'm planning to go as a spectator. Luckily for all the racers I didn't try to race this year. Lol

I should clarify I mean the amateur national. But I think I'm gonna go to both.

It's easy to come back every day assuming it is like a normal year. Many riders stay off the property too There is parking available and walking is not too out of hand. The problem may be finding a camping spot nearby.

We will be going to spectate as well, we go every year.

Parking is not an issue, there's plenty of space, especially if you get there before the first motos kick off.
It's $40 per vehicle per day to park.
Bring a bicycle or something if you really want to see all of the ranch. I personally rent a golf cart, it makes the week much more enjoyable for us.

Correct. If you come and go each day it's $40 per carload and there is a special day tripper parking area you have to park in.

If you are solo you shouldn't have a problem finding someone to throw 5 bucks at to get you in. I wish I was going this year, but not in the cards due to other obligations. Sucks because my best friends nephew (I was at the hospital the day he was born) is on an MCR ride this year and killing his classes.

I’ll go down for a few days during the middle of the week. I always park over near the sand section and the beer tent. Usually end up seeing someone I know within a few minutes of being there. Always good times.

You will have an absolute blast. I know you want to make some contacts in the industry, and that is the place and time to do it.

There are ways to do it on the cheap if you are by yourself. Just ask in this thread and I'm sure someone will help you out. A lot of the smaller teams/amateurs need help and you can trade labor for a spot to pitch your tent (pun not intended).

It's a fun place to enjoy some damn good Moto's, just behave yourself. Enjoy the creek, and watch out for a random snake. Some poor bastard 2 years ago, while washing his kids 85, had one come out of the airbox mad as hell! The vibe is outstanding, and everybody there loves Moto, and sharing a beer from their cooler to make new friends. Expensive? Yep....... But considering all the other crap we put up with the other 51 weeks a year, it's a damn cheap vacation. Just up the road in Waverly, you gotta hit up Bella Blak Pizza for a damn good meal, (pig wings are incredible btw....). Enjoy yourself, be safe in your journey!

The last three years he has gotten so fast, and race craft smart. If his Parents, and Tony can keep him calm in TN, he will sweep both classes with ease.

I’m curious as to how it’s going to be this year. Will the normal vendors be there or will vendors row be empty? Are fans even allowed? And most importantly is the beer tent going to be there?

I expect it to be business as usual out there. If there were going to be any expected changes at this point, we would already know.

Man take a tent or camper, a golf cart, a cooler full of beer and stay a few days. That's how you'll get the best experience. Watch some motos, go chill at the creek, ride around, repeat. Oh and the beer tent.... Definitely go to the beer tent lol.

I find Tennessee to be very beautiful so far. Even the heat and humidity doesn't bother me but I like hot and hate cold. And I live in minnesota if you figure that one out let me know thanks.. the water at the little River is very clear and clean looking you can see the bottom and fish and everything I wouldn't have guessed that.
