Tieton Grand Prix
Driver and Guest Guide
We are thrilled that the town of Tieton, Mighty Tieton and Campbell Orchards have graciously open their streets, spaces and orchard lanes to our group of moxie filled cyclekart makers. Since we are guests and want to be invited back next year, there are a few need-to-know details for each location.
Also, let’s be honest, we all get so excited about building the cars and comparing notes that we often forget about food and sleep. Without further delay, here it is, a guide to the Tieton Grand Prix weekend!
Mighty Tieton Warehouse_Friday, Sat & Sun
When arriving on Friday, you will want to stop by the warehouse first. This is the location for cyclekarts central, the Saturday BBQ Potluck and where we will be on hand for any questions to assist with parking/camping locations and any other questions.
Friday Evening food options
Arrival times will vary for folks and the drag race time will be determined in the late afternoon so come prepared. There is a new restaurant in town since last year, Bootlegger’s Cove. This is the only current option for a sit down meal in town. Good folks and we love supporting Tieton businesses. If you are coming into town late or would like to pick up something on your own, there are a few options on your way to Tieton and we recommend a meal back up plan, if Bootleggers Cove is packed.
Bootlegger’s Cove (Bar&Grill)
6AM (double-check!) – 9PM (for families). The lounge/bar stays open at least until 11PM. Wine, beer, beer on tap & some mixed drinks.
Tieton City Square

*Juan Santos Panaderia
Small market: $1 ice cream cones, basic foodstuffs, excellent Mexican baked goods – best early AM (try the chili-cheese bread!). Homemade tamales available most weekends.

Tieton City Square
Saturday BBQ Potluck
There will be BBQ Potluck following the GITTREVILLE CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE Cocktail hour (6 ish)
We will be grilling up sausages and providing a few other goodies to eat and drink. Please do not hesitate to contribute a side, drink, or something you wish to grill. There will be a few grills at the ready and ice chests in waiting.
Coffee is the most important meal of the day
Mighty Tieton will be operating their espresso cart out of the warehouse in the morning and a great way to start your day of racing!
Campbell Orchard_Saturday
The cup is located within the stunning property of Campbell Orchards and Craig Campbell is our gracious host. Every visitor needs to understand that this Orchard follows the Global Gap Safety Program, which means there are a few guidelines. Please pass the following information along to others that are joining you, including children.
There will be (1) entrance designated on Saturday. More maps and information available at Mighty Tieton on Friday and many of us will be on hand to answer questions.
*Check-in will start at about 9:00 and end at 9:30 SHARP.
*Sign in at the entrance upon your arrival. Then you will directed to the designated parking area.
*There is no eating allowed within the orchard groves. There will be a picnic area designated.
*Late arrivals, proceed with caution! Turn 2 of the course is close to the parking area. A race official will be stationed at that corner to provide directions for sign-in. Please yield to all race traffic until directed
Now a few other tidbits to help you enjoy your day…
*It is about ¼ mile walk from parking to the picnic area&start/Finish.
*Check the weather. This is the high dessert in spring so the climate varies between the 70’s and 90’s. You may want to bring items such as hats to create your own shade.
*Folding chairs… the area is rather rocky. No grassy knolls here. However, if you dig geology, the Tieton valley and Cowiche Canyon will peak your interest.
Casual Picnic Lunch
Lunch will be picnic style so bring enough food and drink for you and yours.
**Races at the orchard will go to 1:30/2:00 and events back in Town will start soon after. Plan accordingly as the BBQ Pot luck will not start until about 6pm.
