I think expos are first then they go Youth, NBR qualifier, Open, which should start around 1p. I think they may run some expos after Open and before the Glow in the Dark race is why the ??? mark is there. If you join the event on Facebook and ask for an update mid morning, I can try to tell you where they are at?

They have well over 200 pre entered for Saturday so you would be an add on and have plenty of time to get there I am sure. I think I run 148 on Friday and 149 on Saturday

Well I emailed the gal that is putting it on and she allowed me to sign up over email as a late entry! Which is great cuz i will probably arrive right at the 100 draw cut off! She was very easy to work with! Already loving how this show is run! Thank you everyone for your help and advice!
At any Barrel Bash event, you can plan on them running 50 horses per hour. (In smaller pens, she has run as fast as 60 horses per hour.) Barrel Bash events are all run on time and according to schedule.
