I went as part of a EMC team in 2012, we rented a Class A and stayed on the lakebed for 10 days. Like Doug said, bring clothes for any temp range and a mask. I had my 450 quad still i ran around on, you will definately want something to piddle around the pits in, they get huge by race day, itd take half an hour to walk from one end to the other. If you do decide to go and noone else does i can hook you up with the Rock Zombies outta Norcal, I made a few friends and we have all kept in touch, plenty of party in that crowd. Dirty Money Racing Team lol. It was a blast all in all, our lil group had a falling out over it, but there was 10 of us in that class A for 10 nights straight, and one of them screwed up and brought his wife along, she hated us all by the end. We also volunteered to help with checkpoints and flagging on the main race day, it was cool at first, but we had to stay at our point for the entire race, 8hrs++, but we got cool swag from it when it was over.
