Camping: While we can not camp at the race site this year, The City of Sugar Land has given us private access to Duhacsek Park, 7 miles away. There is no charge for camping.
The park sits on a quiet homestead of 50 acres filled with large hand-grafted pecan trees. The park is surrounded by open space for tent camping and there are 60 parking spaces in the parking lot which can be used for RVs.
While there are no hook-ups and RVs must be self contained, campers will have access to the park’s pavillion and house. The house has kitchen and bath facilities and the pavillion has picnic tables and grill.
Pets are allowed. Please clean up after them.
TMBRA Race plates: TMBRA will use one standard plate for the series. Every race participant is required to utilize a season plate for race scoring and timing. After registering for an event, you will be asked about your season plate status. If you pre-purchased your plate through the
TMBRA.org website or picked up a plate at a previous event then select “No, I already own one.” otherwise select “Yes, assign a NEW plate.” if you do not already own one. Select “Yes, a REPLACEMENT plate is needed.” if you need a replacement for your previously assigned plate. A one-time $15 charge will be added to your event registration fee if you select a “yes” answer.
