Bikes usually start around 6am - 1 every 30 seconds followed by quads. 4 wheel (Trophy trucks, buggies etc. start 3 hours after last of the bike/quad classes go so as to not be running over them right at the start. This is around 10am.

That looks to be about RM 236 or so..do you think that would be a good spot to set up camp to watch the race ?? Not pitting this year just watching and camping so thought I'd try something different then Borrego area RM 205 ish

Thanks

We watched the race from there in 1978... Too long ago to remember if it was extra exciting... Before that point, there are stream crossings and tight turns... But, you will be stuck until the racers have all passed.

Think I'll go look around on friday am to see if the spectating and camping is good (I was there in March but didn't look for camping spots)...Check 2 closes at 5am sunday and CK 3 at 7am so I'm good with that. May be a little cooler at 1220' elevation than the desert floor at Borrego...
