The 2024 Kenda Northeast 24-Hour Challenge will again be held at 5396 Carley Rd. Odessa, NY.

Please read over the following and understand this is all about safety. We ask that you keep in mind and plan accordingly for the event.

The pit area rules WILL BE STRICTLY enforced.  No "overflow" sharing will be permitted. You can pit next to one another, but NO campers, trailers, or vehicles will be permitted to overlap into the next pit stall. If it doesn't fit in your assigned area, it doesn't stay and must go to the camping/parking area.

Speeding on pit road... Speeding on pit road: Pit road speed limit is 10 mph and posted as such both at the event AND in the rules. We realize that most of you do not have speedometers or tachometers on your bikes, however, it is the rider’s responsibility to know what 10 mph is on their bike. Practice this before you arrive vs. a vehicle with a speedometer. We have radar and do use it. We can’t be everywhere with the radar, so judgment calls WILL BE MADE. There is no reason anyone should be above 1st or 2nd gear in the pits.  Pit speeding is a huge safety concern for riders AND crew. It will be enforced, and judgment calls will be made.

Parking related to the pit area... Pit parking: The rule is: Everything that your team brings into the pits must fit INSIDE your designated pit area. Absolutely no overflow will be permitted, and this will be strongly enforced this year. All cars, trucks, trailers, etc., that will not fit within your stall MUST go to the designated camping area. If you have a pit stall on the outside of the pits, you can not utilize the area behind you. This includes outside areas of the access roadways. This area is to be used for safety crews, ambulances, and our course workers and MUST remain clear.

Also remember, once the race starts, all access to and from the pit area is closed for any type of vehicle. In the case of an emergency, our crews will get you out if the need should arise. The pit area WILL NOT open for access to and from until our sweep crew has cleared the track, so no motorized vehicles will enter or exit until we clear the track and all riders have returned to the pit area.

We will do our best to lay out things that will work for everyone. All we ask is you help us by understanding this is a safety concern and following our simple rules for the safety of everyone.

Helmets: Although the rules state there are no motorized vehicles allowed and no pit riding once the event starts, there are occasions where the bikes are being used or tested the day/night before the event. Please, if the situation comes to when your bike is being ridden anywhere on the property... have a helmet on. This includes during the event, and in the event, you may be getting towed. This is a main rule for the event. So again, please, if you’re on your bike and it’s moving, cover your melon.

Again, we appreciate your cooperation in these matters. Our goal has always been to provide all riders of all skill levels with a fun, safe event. With your help, we can continue to do so. Thank you.
