Spectators are encouraged to come and enjoy the day of entertainment onSaturday April 19th. Area BFE does not allow for a loop race, so there will be a slightly different format than usual.  More specifically there will be laps on the upper loop, a downhill to the lower section, followed by laps on the lower loop and then a return to the upper loop, with laps following.  If you joined us last year, it will be similar with exceptional viewing areas.  Qualifying for the 4400 4×4 group starts at 9am.  The UTV, Stock Trail and Mod Trail classes will run their races and then the Pro 4400 4×4 class will take the track for two heat races for a combined winning time. The winner of this race will be the one to complete the set amount of laps in the fastest amount of time.

The awards ceremony immediately follows the final race at approximately 5pm. Admission is $15 for adults, $5 for ages 8-15, children 7 and under free and Military with ID get $5 off. There are vendors, food and amenities on site, and we encourage you to bring chairs and shade structures.  For additional details go tohttp://www.werocklive.com/2014/dirt-riot-mountain-round-1-moab-ut/.
