what are the classes?

My boy and I would like to run the Golden Spike but we have never run a Hair Scramble and don’t fully understand the classes.
Him: KTM 200 XC-W (intermediate rider) Age 16
Me: KTM 300 XC-W (Advanced) Age: 43
I’d like to run the same class with him as this is more for fun and we could care less about points, etc.
Is there a class we could run together?
Also how technical is the course. We ran the Iron man together last month and with the exception of the rock climb he did great. BTW we had a fantastic time.
Also thinking of doing the GP (knobby) too if that makes sense?
Thanks,
John

John – you need to decide if you want to run long course or short course. After you do that you can both enter a couple different classes that will allow you to start on the same line.
Sportsman – Runs short course but starts in the last wave I believe of short course racers.
Open C – Runs short course.
Open B or Open A – Both run longcourse.
Difference between long and short course is time. Shortcourse is typically 1.5 hours and long course is typically 2.5 hours.
You could also sign up in different classes but be on the course at the same time.

being your first hare scramble I recommend you enter short course, both are the same course only difference being the amount of time you race. The course is fairly easy and features wooded trails, an urban off-road section, pavement section, etc., etc. it’s an interesting course for sure and people really have a good time on it.

Are camp fires allowed in the RV camping area?

My girl is 13 with a TTR-90 and wondering if she would enjoy the short corse. If not is thier also free riding.

john, no camp fires, camping is inside a wharehouse. there is also no free riding.
it’s a tough call on whether your daughter will enjoy the shot course. depends her experience. if she has done any harescrambles before then I would say definitely.

The gate fee is $10.00. Is that for truck load or each person?

thank you for putting on this event. me and three of my buddies came down for this event and road our dualsports there. no camping. we thought the extra 10 bucks at the gate was a bit much.

Jon – I think the gate fee usually goes straight to the land owner and in this case i think the land owner, Hampton, donates it to a charitable cause… It’s six of one / half dozen of the other. Some clubs charge $50+ to race with no gate fee and some charge less to race with a gate fee….
