Need to know who to contact about rv camping at Waco arena cross both nites.Wish their web site would post a package deal for racers. This is the easiest of em all, just show up in the parking lot off of Lake Air Dr, 1st come, 1st pick. There will be RV's everywhere. They will give you a hard time at 1st about parking sideways but they get over it. |

Thanks Jeff, do they charge for camping? No charge if you get there with the rest of the racers. They do charge for spectating parking but that's usually in the evening. |

well, since I have a 250 2 stroke ill have to be running with the 450Fs in the beginner class Rule 7 states: -250F classes include the 125 two strokes, a 250 two stroke can only run 450F class. A 250F cannot run in the 450F class, with the exception of the Pro 450F Open. Meaning MAP Motorsports is using old rules. And, that is their prerogative. |
