What's up guys, I'm going to my first MX national August 19th. Got my girl Baltimore oriole tickets for that Saturday night at 7pm and didn't realize the race was that Saturday...sooo we are gonna go to the race first and then then ball game.
Since it's my first National, I'm pretty clueless on what I need to bring and what I cannot bring. I'm 21 years old. Anyone care to inform me and give me some tips on what to bring, where to sit, what not to bring, and the "do nots" so that I don't accidently piss someone off or something lol. Thanks.

Walk around and see different parts of the track. If you want to meet some riders buy a $20 pit pass. Most riders sign autographs that morning before the race. You can pay $50 and get an all day pass.
Bring some suntan lotion, plenty to drink and eat. No glass bottles.
You will have a good time. Never had a bad experience at a pro national.
Pretty good hike to get to Baltimore afterwards. I'd bring a change of clothes to get out of dusty, sweaty MX clothes.

Chairs are a good idea if you choose to sit in one place the whole time. You'll find that getting into the baseball stadium is a lot more difficult, honestly getting into the track is pretty common sense. Don't bring anything you wouldn't to school or work I guess.
The motos go into mid-late afternoon (well before 7), so expect a long day. A lot of people leave during the 2nd 250 moto. It's a super cool experience, just make the most out of it.
I'll make sure to get there early and try to get some "local parking" for $15-$20 bring 2 chairs, a garden pick, cooler with beer and water, and a redbull or 2 lol. oh and some snacks. And will definitely bring some a bottle of sunscreen!
From what you guys are saying, I think I'll probably have the most interest in setting my chairs and cooler up on "the hill." Then walk around when we want to see other parts of the track. Should be a pretty epic experience. Thanks again guys! Hope to see The Leopard Seal and ET3 battle it out!
I normally like to watch from the corner heading up to the "big gulp" jump if I do stay in one place.
I give up on shade and sitting in one place, you are 21, get on the move. Oh yeah, defiantly watch a start from the fence when they come through the rollers headed towards the finish line, then walk around the track the direction of the track from there.
Budds is great, have fun!
