Anyone traveling up from Indy airport on Friday? Looking for a ride for one. Happy to chip in money. Driving on the wrong side of the road after 20 hours of flights and landing in the middle of the night doesn't sound safe.

What time on Friday ? I'm staying in niles at a campsite Friday , Saturday , Sunday . Gonna be coming through indy just depends on time and where u staying? My name is Tony Barrington from Texas BTW . So pumped about this race ? just wish I was able to camp onsite !

I'm flying in 12am Thursday night so will be camping in an airport chair until the morning. You sound like me, coming in on a wing and a prayer. If you can get somewhere to stay and your definitely going I'll sure grab a lift. I'm staying in a hotel arranged by other people so I can't offer you some floor or chair space there unfortunately.
Changed my flights and got a flight right into South Bend via Chicago, LAX, Auckland and Sydney. Thanks for the offers on a lift. Think I should be able to walk the rest of the way there after all that

So like an idiot I did not plan far enough ahead for this race and now I'm screwed ! Anyone from the Cincinnati / Tri-State area (OH, IN, KY) going up for Saturday / Sunday? I had plans to go with a group of buddies and of course has since fallen apart Sad . If worse comes to worse I will just drive up by myself and sleep in my car somewhere off site, but I would love to stay at the track and throw up a tent if anyone is interested in sharing a spot for me to do so. I would give someone $75 to put towards their spot if anyone wanted to help me out. I've been to RedBud close to ten times and can't miss this one.

Let me know if anyone can help / is interested !

Thanks! GO USA!

I inquired with RedBud to find out where the VIP areas are going to be located so I could start planning our general admission location(s). Here is the response they sent.

"Vip areas: end of the whoops in the grass along the vending road (where we have it in July), along the track before the ski jump (mechanics area in July), bottom of ski jump where Red Bull and Fly were in July, bottom of the Leap where we took out the extra loop from July. We’re not losing any spectator areas from the National ?? And we took out a loop on the south side of the track and added to the spectator hill on the backside of the track."

First National I ever attended was Red Bud 82'. Met Jeff Ward and Goat Breker in a diner, Got an autograph from Roger DeCoster, Met Danny Chandler and Darrell Schultz walking the track Saturday, we shared a pinch between our cheek and gums, Magoo won Sunday, my guy Hannah did not win on that turd. On the way home we talked about how cool it would be if the Motocross Des Nations came to this awesome track, here in the Midwest.
I scheduled vacation last November and ordered tickets and camping in January, in February some of us senior dudes from the Wapella motocross scene and Bloomington/Normal motorcycle club get together every year to bench race/watch Super-X=We formulated a plan.
My Son and another moto friend (whom I met at Wapella in 79') are meeting another vehicle of Wapella's alumni's(4+?) to go thru the gate together Thursday, Red Bud told me if you want to camp together-go through gate together, we will be leaving Monday-work Tuesday is gonna SUCK. At this time I have 3 more coming Saturday to camp with us like pigs in a tent. There's some other people involved as well, hopefully we can all get together and have an awesome moto holiday, eat some killer grub, and put the hurtin' to some Oktoberfest Beir!
I don't know how far it is, don't care, It's MXDN @ RED BUD Baby! Oh, one year (88' I think) a friend and I made it in October to race amateur on the pro track in the same time it takes us to get to Motorsports Park in Byron, Il SO roughly 2 hours 45 minutes. Man after typing this I'm Stoked to leave now!

Me, my brother and fellow Vital member Jaze are coming to Red Bud from Finland. Too bad there is no Finnish team in the race this year but guess we have cheer for Estonians an Swedes Smile . It's going to be my second MXON and second trip to US so i'm pretty exited about that.

Where are flying to Chicago on Friday and staying apartment reserved trough Air bnb and it's only two miles away from the track.

Any idea how's the weather is going to be? Any good tips what to bring with you to the track? Is there any VitalMX meeting on the site?

Fall in Michigan is unpredictable. Likely a comfortable warm during the day and hoodie/ jeans weather at night. But the tracks close to Lake Michigan, so prepare for unexpected rain.

I'm still looking for anyone that has a camping spot that would let me buy their extra car pass...

Details from RedBuds Site on extra car pass...

"Extra Car Pass is $30 and can be purchased at the gate when you arrive with your camping pass.
You must have a camping pass in order to purchase an Extra Car Pass."

Driving up from Cincinnati area early saturday A.M. in a Silverado with a few friends, wanting to throw up a tent where we park.

I will gladly pay the $30 for the extra car pass and whatever you would want to help with your camping spot fee.

Any takers?
