2022 Ground Rules

2022 GROUND RULES

WELCOME!  Riders and their families have worked long and hard to arrive at this top level of competition. We want you to have a good time at Loretta’s, but we also want you to have every opportunity to be your best in the competition. This means there are ground rules that everyone must follow. Failure to comply with these rules may result in your disqualification and/or removal from the event. This goes for your pit crew as well.  Remember - the rider is responsible for the actions of his/her pit crew.

SAFETY FIRST!

  1. EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. In the unlikely event of a widespread emergency, emergency sirens will sound throughout the facility signaling guests to check their text messages for an important message from MX Sports and to tune-in to the MX Sports radio channel FM 91.5 for further information.
  2. EVACUATION PLAN. In the unlikely event an evacuation is required for any reason, including flooding, follow the Evacuation Arrows to the designated Evacuation Areas (A, B, C or D).

    Evacuation Area A will meet at the Monster Energy Arena
    Evacuation Area B will meet at the Country Store on Stage Coach Hill in Area 2
    Evacuation Area C will meet behind the Loretta Lynn Workshop across from the Beer Tent
    Evacuation Area D will meet on the hill on the road between Area 3 and 4. 

If an evacuation is necessary, leave everything and proceed immediately to the nearest Evacuation Area designated above or to the highest point.  Upon your arrival at the Ranch, familiarize yourself with the posted Evacuation Routes so that you will be prepared and know where to go in the unlikely event of an evacuation.  Parents, please practice with your children and make them aware of the purpose of the posted routes:  where to go, why to go, when to go and what to do when they get there.

GROUND RULES

  1. FACILITY PERMITS. Upon entering the Ranch, all vehicles must stop at the MX Sports Front Gate Office for passes (facility permits, extra car passes and pit vehicle permits). Adults must sign the liability release for themselves and their children. Our staff will place your Facility Permit on the driver’s side of the front windshield of your vehicle for display at all times.  Each permit will be assigned to a specific rider.  Do not trade or transfer permits.  If you did not win the Hookup Lottery, you may not obtain a hookup permit from someone who did.  Finally, we realize accidents happen, but if you cause damage to any campsite, you will be held responsible for the cost of repair.
  2. HOOKUP LOTTERY. If you win the lottery you will get a Hookup Permit.  Not all hookup sites have a sewer connection.  If your site has a sewer connection, be careful not to place your sewer hose too far down into the drain, as long hoses will block the drain if placed in too far.  DO NOT USE A GENERATOR while hooked up to campground electricity.  This is not only dangerous but may cause electrical feedback and shut down the campground electricity.  If you did not receive a hookup, you may not run an extension cord or water hose from one site to another.
  3. EARLY ARRIVAL.National camping starts Sunday, July 31, and ends Sunday morning, August 7.  You are welcome to arrive early, but you will be required to pay the Ranch a camping fee of $75 per night. If arriving before Sunday, you may not have a hookup site unless you have been assigned one for National week.
  4. All riders are required to check-in. Minors are not required to attend registration.  Registration will be held at the Monster Arena as follows:

  5. CAMPING AREAS.There are several camping areas. Individual campsites are not   However, you may only park in a hookup site if you have a hookup permit.  Do not use or take up space for more than one site.  If your rig is too big for the site you chose, you will have to relocate.  DO NOT SAVE SPOTS for friends.  If you want to camp with friends, please meet them off-site and arrive together.  The camping areas are as follows:

    AREA 1   Hookup & non-hookup camping – lower campground
    AREA 2   Hookup camping – Stage Coach Hill - left after Main Gate
    AREA 3   Hookup & non-hookup camping - past track on right
    AREA 4   Non-hookup camping – creek-side before Western Town
    AREA 5   Non-hookup camping – just past Loretta’s plantation home

  6. ELECTRIC SERVICE. For the comfort of all our guests, please do notoverload the electrical service.  Our hook-ups are either 30-amp or 50-amp service.  Do not plug a 30-amp rig into a 50-amp service.  Likewise, do not overload a 30-amp service with a 50-amp rig by using multiple appliances at once.
  7. PUMP-OUT/FRESH WATER SERVICE. Guests are encouraged to purchase motor home sewage pump-out and freshwater delivery service permits at the Front Gate Office.  The permit must be displayed on the outside of the vehicle facing the service lane (road).  The fee is $40per one-time service.  You do not need to be present at your vehicle at the time the service is rendered.  Reminder: many campers have sensors in the toilet units that can give a false reading of “full” if toilet paper is trapped in the pipes, even after the unit is pumped out.  There is also a dump station located near the Front Office.  Also available:  RV holding tank chemicals, private portable toilet rentals, showers.
  8. EXTRA CAR PASSES.The purpose of an Extra Car Pass is for the convenience of campers to have a vehicle to go to and from town, not for guests staying offsite.  The cost is $125 and must be purchased in advance online with the purchase of a Facility Permit.  Vehicles pulling a trailer are not eligible for an Extra Car Pass.  Place the pass on the driver’s side of the front windshield of your vehicle.  In most cases, campsites are not large enough to accommodate both your camper and an extra car, so please park your extra car out of the way, making sure not to take up another campsite.
  9. PIT VEHICLE PERMITS (PVP). Pit vehicles (mopeds, scooters, pit bikes, golf carts, mules) may be used by PERMIT ONLY and are limited to a maximum width of 64 inches.  No ATVs, 6-wheel Gators, Razors or high-performance vehicles permitted, as determined in the sole discretion of MX Sports. Pit Vehicle Permits must be purchased with a Facility Permit.  The cost for racers is $75 in advance.  The cost for fans and at the event is $100.  Only racers and fan campers are eligible for PVP.  Day Spectators are not eligible for pit permits.  For a full list of Pit Vehicle Rules, go HERE.
