Official Rage at the River Thread

[MADMEDIA]

McKenzie’s Rage at the River put on by SNORE is one part serious competition and two parts pure fun! Laughlin is a perfect setting to have an off-road race with plenty of hotels and food, plus easy access for spectators and racers to the famed Laughlin off-road track. Every year SNORE puts together a fantastic affordable event for racers and fans alike with two days of racing, free spectating, and a focus on classes that we don’t see large numbers in at other races such as 1600 and 1450. In a world of high cost sporting events, Rage at the River is an inexpensive event to have tons of fun as both a racer or a spectator.

I'm thinking of driving out from Colorado to spectate this weekend.
Can anyone tell me if I can purchase a pit pass somehow?
I'm currently building a class 11 car, and would really like to get up close and personal with some of the cars and owners.

pls put class 5 back into heat 2, 99% of us were happy with that .70 plus cars is just asking for trouble.

Is it me or do the class 5 guys complain about everything on both sides of the ball. First time in a decade they have had 20 cars in a race and they have had like 20 threads leading up to this race like there launching a damn talking monkey to mars. Just show up and Race at some point

 

[madmax_087]

This year will be my first time at RATR spectating. Are there any places to camp trackside, like in Parker?
Looking for an inexpensive way to stay in Laughlin Friday night then wake up and watch some racing!

LOL - ya, it's kinda true. It's been more work than you can imagine getting it to this point and seemingly f'n impossible to get everybody on the same page. Hopefully, when all the bs stops and green flag drops, all anybody will remember is how awesome this event was.

I believe there is camping in the pits but they are closed to racers and pit support only. No camping along the course. There are designated spectator areas that are fee based but no camping there either. Luckily, Laughlin is full of cheap hotel rooms.

CRAP.
Can I just throw a tent up in the desert somewhere or are there armed guards patrolling the race course?

 

[Ol' Curmudgeon]

I believe you can still dry camp on BLM land, but you need to go several miles away from the race area.

Great to see such a good turnout for this race!

Both race officials and BLM do patrol for spectators out of the approved areas. Its part of keeping a race permit.

If someone doesn't get in a knife fight in class 5U, it wasn't a good race!
