What are “Finals” and how do we go?
American Finals: The American Association of Sheriff Posses and Riding Clubs is based in Bowie Texas. They own a large plot off of 287 where they host club events on a regular basis but annually, they host their playday finals. This event typically occurs the third week in June and lasts about 3-4 days. They run 8 events at finals and those events have a rotation. In order to be eligible for finals, you must join Lone Star Riders, Join AASP & RC (separate membership form and dues) and then SIGN UP for FINALs as well ( separate form and payment). All your forms and payments will be due to American Association Liaison for Lone Star. They are all due at different times as well. Watch FB for updates. Follow the Association on Facebook as well. The Organization is divided into regions and districts. LSRC is in Region 3, district 24.
National Finals:. The National Association of Riding Clubs and Sheriff Posse’s. Although there isn’t a “home base” of sorts for this large organization, the largest number of member clubs are out of the Mansfield, Burleson, Joshua, Alvarado area. The finals for this organization is held on Labor Day weekend and has been held at the American Association grounds in Bowie the last couple of years, however, the location of finals can fluctuate. To qualify for finals you will need to join Lone Star, join the NARC ( separate dues and form) and compete in a district playday. Sometimes the district playdays are totally separate events, and sometimes they are “stacked” onto an already existing Lone Star playday which means you have to register for BOTH events that day and pay entry fees for BOTH events that day. You must then also sign up for National Finals ( usually by August 1st or so) and pay to ride there.
Both of these finals usually have RV spots and stalls that are available for you to camp for the duration of the event FOR ADDITIONAL cost above entry fees. Spots go quickly. There are 30 and 50 amp plugs.
You are also welcome to drive back and forth, or camp with generators.
