MAXXIS ESC Sugarbush BOX Showdown Information

MAXXIS ESC BOX Showdown #4 at Sugarbush Resort, VT

Thank You for registering for the fourth BOX Showdown of 2018. We are excited to heading back to one of our most popular venues for DH and Enduro Racing, the trails will be dry and running fast this weekend. Bring your sunscreen and leave the umbrellas home !

Sugarbush Mountain is offering a Discounted Friday Passes for registered racers at $30 for our event this year.

If you have not paid for your plate or registration, please note it is CASH only onsite.

All attached forms must be filled out even if you preregistered. Print them out, fill them in and save time.

There is a Sugarbush waiver attached and everyone needs to fill that out along with the attached entry form and ESC waiver. Save yourself some time and print and fill them out at home.

Attached are a couple other documents for you to review, one is the enduro map. We will NOT have printed maps for this event as the course is easy to follow, so if you want one please print it. The 2018 MAXXIS ESC Enduro rules are also attached, there have been some changes, so it would be best to read everything.

We will be onsite Friday afternoon but please understand we cannot do any registration on Friday. We have a lot of set up and course work to get done.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL RACERS MUST HAVE EITHER THEIR LIFT PASS IN PLAIN VIEW OR SEASON PASS READY TO SHOW, OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE DQ’D FROM THE EVENT
