Here's aheads up on KOH 2011.

Cal 4 Wheel
Spectator entrance fees at KOH - the facts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of speculation going on, but Jeff and I have worked through the details of spectator fees for the 2011 King of the Hammers.
$10 per person for the week. Donation. Not mandatory. If you believe that it's not worth the money, or its your public land, that is your right.
What does that $10 get you? A weeks worth of entertainment, parties, informational workshops, vendor show, port a potties, food vendors....
Where does the $10 go? We have cemented a deal with Cal 4Wheel (California Association of 4WD Clubs) to man our information/welcome booth. CA4WDC will recieve 10% of the gross gate. It will be deposited in an existing trust fund that by their bylaws must be spent on SoCal Desert Land Use Issues. Huge thanks to Harry and Helen Baker and Steve Gardiner for making it happen. Also kudos to Jeff, because even though I'm typing this, he was the architect of this fantastic partnership.
What do I get for my $10. You get a wristband that allows you access to Hammertown after dark and the designated spectator areas.
If you do not pay an admission fee you will still be able to attend the vendor show during the day, but when the show stops and the bonfire starts, it is paying fans only. This includes the staging line before the race and Victory Circle after the race.
Where does the money go? Again 10% goes to CA4WDC and SoCal land use. The rest goes to cover our costs to have you there. Lights, Port-A-Potties, Firewood, Electricity, Security, Medical, Sheriffs, BLM Rangers....
There will be a welcome center on the way into the lake bed. You'll be able to buy a map and program as well.
Volunteers are free if you're on the verified list. Pre-Registered media is free as well.
Just wanted to get the facts out. See you on the lake bed.
