    Always remember the golden rule:
    the rider's meeting will be in the tech area at 8:20am - YOU MUST BE THERE IF YOU ARE RIDING.

    HEY!!!! There's gonna be a food truck there for lunch!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!

    Saturday: Ladies First Day (no dudes riding - we just hold umbrellas, etc.)

    Sunday: Normal STT day - normal direction

    Ladies Day Schedule (it's a bit different than normal):

    7am-8:15am - Registration/Tech
    8:20am - Rider's Meeting
    9am-12pm - Morning Sessions (Intermediate / Novice One / Novice Two)
    12:30pm - Mock Race Rider's Meeting

    A couple notes:

    1) Gate time is 5pm. :)
    2) YOU MUST BE AT THE RIDER'S MEETING EACH MORNING TO RIDE!
    3) see #2.

    Saturday
    - regular direction - Ladies Day!!!!!
    Sunday - regular direction - normal day

    Gates will open 5:00pm CST time Friday evening. Gates close at 10:00pm Friday night and re-open at 7:00am on Saturday. You must be in the track by 10:00pm or you don't get in til the morning. Tally is in the CENTRAL time zone. There is a $5 per person, per day gate fee at Tally. Please come prepared. Camping is free. There is some power and you pay the track for that.

    Sportbike Tire Service is doing tire service for this event.

    Sadly no Thermosman this weekend - he is swimming with the dolphins.

    Food Truck for lunch!

    Sign-up opens 7am, closes for the day at 10:30am.

    Tech 7:00am-10:30am.


    Please note some NEW tech rules regarding GoPro (or similar) cameras:

    - all Gopros mounted on a motorcycle must have a tether from the camera case to a point on the motorcycle.

    - helmet mounted Gopros are not allowed at all on track

    - in our novice group, Gopros are not allowed on track in the morning sessions - in the afternoon sessions they are fine as long as the above rules are followed.


    Mandatory rider's meeting at 8:20am all days - you must be there or you will not ride. Tech and registration are closed during the rider's meeting.

    Camping is free, some electric is available, you pay the track for that.

    Pets are allowed, must be on a leash at ALL times. Please "clean up" after your pets.

    Showers are in the silo.

    No fuel is available at the track.

    Small Jiffy Mart right by the track, many motels in Oxford/Anniston, about 15 minutes away.

    As always we ride "rain or shine" - come prepared.

    We need to be out of the track by 7pm Sunday night!!!!

    Any questions, please post up here.

    See you there!!!
