Title: TTTT direction suggestions
Post by FlyingLaZBoy on Sep 24^th, 2009, 11:02am

Here are directional and parking suggestions fromt the TTTT organizers, for those who are planning to go down there, either to ride, crew, or just hang out and watch/cheer...

Parking and driving instructions will be different depending on which race
you will be doing; whether or not you are crewing yourself or have crew;
whether or not you have a hotel room or you are camping, or sleeping in your
car; whether you are a solo rider or you are on a team and whether you are
volunteering and riding, or only riding, or only volunteering....

For everyone that is not doing the Tejas 500, there will be riders on the course when
you arrive, so please do not use Van Zandt Road to enter or exit there is a
race in progress. We have more than enough parking if we do it right. We
would like to have most of the 50 Park - Parking lot spaces, emptied of most
cars by 10:00 am on Saturday, so that these parking spaces can be used for
the arriving 6 hour, and Sprint Racers. 12 Hour racers will be driving in
about 4:30 am, unless they have booked a hotel, please be careful parking it
will be dark, drive slow, we will try to have someone with a flashlight to
direct you, don't run them over :-)

If you are racing The 26 mile Sprint, You just show up early enough to not
be rushed, you park in the Park, entering the Park from the north off of Hwy
67, it is the driveway just west (next to) The Sonic Drive In.

If you are racing The 12 Hour or 6 Hour and have crew that will be using the
"Neutral Support Area" for Hand-Up's, please park at the Park Parking lot,
following the directions above.

If you are racing The 24 hour, The 12 Hour or 6 Hour and will need access to
your car, please follow these directions. If you are driving into Glen Rose
from the East on Hwy 67, please turn left at the 144 traffic light as you
start to enter the Town of Glen Rose, then make your first right, by the
water feature as soon as you pass the gas station, up and over the hill,
when you get to the bottom of the hill Brett Butler Drive, we hope to have a
parking attendant there to help you find a "Pit Area".

If you are crewing yourself, you may place an ice chest on the right side of
Van Zandt about 5 feet from the pavement, so you can be off the driving
surface just long enough to stop quickly grab bottles and continue. Be very
careful when entering back on to the road, other riders may not be stopping
every lap.

If you are crewing yourself out of a vehicle you will get a "Pit Area" along
the left (north) side of the Van Zandt or along either side of Brett
Butler's Drive, to park you vehicle and or set up your tent, "Pit Areas"
will be approximately 9 foot wide by 30 feet deep. Make sure there is room
to get yourself off the driving surface while being crewed. Please go to
The TTTT Website, and Click on the Maps and directions then go to the bottom
and click on "Parking arrangements" to see an over view, or use this link

If you are staying at a hotel, and are not using your vehicle to crew
yourself from, or have crew that will be using the Neutral Support Area" and
not a " Pit Area", please park at the hotel, entering the Hotel parking lots
from Hwy 67, and walking to the Park, for registration. There is a hotel on
each side of Hwy 67, and plenty of parking spaces.

If you are camping in the park, and crewing yourself from your campsite you
will need to access your campsite from the Park Road, not from Van Zandt.

If you are a TTTT Volunteer and will not need frequent access to your car,
please follow these directions. If you are driving into Glen Rose from the
East on Hwy 67, please turn left at the 144 traffic light as you start to
enter the Town of Glen Rose, then make your first right, by the water
feature as soon as you pass the gas station, up and over the hill and park
on the side of the road before you get to the bottom of the hill.

Yea, clear as mud, but we are trying.

Does anyone happen to know where the "recumbent area" is, that I've heard has been set aside???
