Race teams planning on traveling north on Highway 93 from Kingman, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada for the September 17-19 Formula USA/CCS event should call the Arizona Department of Transportation, according to CCS Southwest Region Race Director Randy Stem.

The phone number (888) 248-1259 should reach a 24-hour recorded message with vehicle restriction information for crossing over the Hoover Dam, according to Stem.

FIRST PERSON/OPINION

Via e-mail:

The last time that I crossed, personal vehicles towing trailers were OK. You will have to stop and allow an inspection of the trailer and contents. The inspection is usually quick, though the guards are often very interested in the bikes. Fuel containers should be readily accessible for visual inspection. Commercial vehicles are not allowed to cross the dam and have to go through Laughlin. If you will need to cross the dam on Sunday, plan for a lengthy wait. Due to the security checkpoint the dam backups can easily cause an hour or more delay.
