2 Day Swap Sites Sold Out

Last chance for purchasing swap space:
Beginning Saturday evening if space permits and again on Sunday morning, a LIMITED amount of swap space will be available at the gate on a first come, first served basis.
Note: The amount of space available will depend on the number of swappers that vacate the premises on Saturday. You can begin lining up in the swap queue after 3 PM Saturday afternoon. The cost of these swap spaces will be $25.00 per space, with a two spot minimum. Depending on spectator foot traffic within the grounds, we will start assigning swap spots around 6:00 PM Saturday night and on Sunday morning between 6:00 and 7:00 AM. If you do not get in Saturday evening, you will NOT be allowed to wait overnight in the swap queue. This is a County mandated item and non-negotiable. You will have to return Sunday morning starting at 6am and re-enter the swap queue.

Do Not Show Up Friday If You Do Not Have A Swap License.
YOU WILL BE TURNED AWAY.

You will be measured before entering into swap.


  • You can order your Swap License two ways


    • Individual Swapper: Each vehicle and trailer will be required to purchase the minimum of 2-20 foot spots, no exceptions. Please measure your setup prior to purchasing. If you have rear doors that need to be opened or a ramp to extend, do not forget to account for that space.

Each vehicle in the group will be required to have the minimum of 2 swap space licenses (ie 40 feet) of the 20 swap license order limit.
