Just a heads up if you bought the BLM SCTA Special Recreation Permit passes at the registration trailer in October. They were giving out incorrect passes.
You should have three passes. One says "Regular Pass". The other two say "Car Pass".
If you have three that say "Car Pass" you have to make sure to trade one in for a "Regular Pass".
The "Regular Pass" gets the tow vehicle, a trailer, and an additional vehicle. (The race car/bike).
The "Car Pass" does not allow a towed vehicle.
The passes are good for race dates only.
And only good for the race surface, not the rest of the recreation area. It says that on the car passes, not the regular passes.

Mike,
I paid $5 for a car pass at the reg trailer. The pass reads good for listed dates only. The listed dates run through Sept. 09. I figure $5 well spent.
When I left the lakebed there was no pass checking going on.

I left at 3:00 on Sunday and they were checking every car for passes.

Dan I will try to get a car pass this time too. see you :cheers:

Sparky sent me a pass, but it says something about not being good for a tow vehicle. Is this just refering to towing a race vehicle or any vehicle, such as my teardrop?
Thanks,
Sum

The restriction on the car pass is for another vehicle. A trailer is allowed.
The SCTA worked out a deal so that you can buy an annual BLM permit for $75 that gets your pit vehicle, your race car and up to two support vehicles on the lake bed only for race days only.
