Spectating: Hammertown promises to be bigger and better than ever in 2018. There will be two live jumbotrons, vendors open during the day and plenty of food vendors. There are also port-a-potties in Hammertown.
Johnson Valley OHV area is open to everyone. The race course and within 150 feet of the race course is closed to the public on race days. The spectator areas are set up to give spectators a chance to see the race at a safe distance from the action. Many of these spectator areas are the same as in prior years where people have enjoyed watching the race.
OHV Vehicles: All trail rigs, bikes, quads, UTVs, etc. need some form of permit. Street-legal vehicles need proper plates and registration. California OHVs need a green sticker. Out-of-state motorized vehicles will need to get an out-of-state green sticker. These will be for sale at the information booth in Hammertown. They can also be purchased in advance online by clicking here: We will also have these stickers available at the front gate.
