One day closer to the weekend and we are ready! Are you?
NYOA staff and volunteers will start arriving tonight and we can't wait to get to the mountain!
Please scroll back through the posts from earlier this week for any details not included in this post.
ONLINE REGISTRATION:
We will close online at 9am on Friday. PLEASE consider using this system if you are a current NYOA series member AND have a valid AMA card. Once we get onsite, NYOA is CASH ONLY. We cannot accept cards at registration.
PARKING:
There is parking available on both sides of the road now! Parking on the Pee Wee side will allow compounds! See the interactive map Potter posted earlier this week to map out the area.
If you park on the mini/adult side of the road be prepared to park PARALLEL and CLOSE. If Ditch Banger staff feels you're wasting space they will have you move. Please do not save spots. Arrive together if you plan to park together.
GATE TIMES:
Friday: 10am-10pm
Saturday: 10am-10pm
Sunday: 6am
Don't arrive early!
SPECIAL EVENTS:
Pit Bike/Pit Quad event
Saturday night glow parade
See the previous posts and flyer for details.
Please remember that Greek Peak is now a CASHLESS resort. Please plan accordingly. There is a reverse ATM if needed.
Finish your prep and get ready for a great weekend at ROUND 6, DITCH BANGER! Travel safe and we will see you all there!
We will begin our normal updates tomorrow but wanted to get some information to you for planning purposes:
PEE WEE RIDERS: This year Potter and crew have designed an entirely new track for you across the road! This is exciting for a couple of reasons!
1 Different Track Layout! It's always fun to change it up and see the riders face new challenges.
2 Trackside Parking! We are excited to say there is a ton of trackside parking availability over by the pee wee track! We are encouraging everyone who decides to bring a pit vehicle (pit passes will be $15 at the gate) and wants more space to park over there. Pee Wee parents, this so very exciting for you. Compounds are allowed over there AND you have less chance of being "parked in" at the end of your little racer's event!
Again, more details about Ditch Banger including gate times coming tomorrow and Jessica Leet is working on an interactive map! Stay tuned!
And we are back in action this weekend for ROUND 6, DITCH BANGER at Greek Peak Mountain Resort! Always a fan favorite and a venue that has a ton to offer!
This is a co-sanctioned event with AMA East so we do encourage current NYOA series members with a valid AMA card to utilize the online system to avoid the lines at trackside registration.
We will be back on Tuesday with more details from Potter and his crew! In the meantime be sure to check out the Ditch Banger Facebook page for details on the weekend wristband deal!
