    The event will cross Carson City District public land from Mina to

necessary for public safety. The event permittee is responsible for 
monitoring, signing, and managing the course closures. BLM law 
enforcement rangers will enforce the closures on lands under BLM 
jurisdiction. The closure applies to all public use except for event 
participants and officials, emergency and law enforcement personnel, or 
activities in designated spectator and pit areas.
