International Team Information
It may be possible for SOLAR SPLASH to arrange for logistical support for qualifying international teams which will potentially provide assistance in shipping a team’s boat and other hardware to the competition.  In order to determine if such assistance will be possible, Solar Splash must be notified as soon as possible of all international teams that are seriously considering entry in the competition.  Notification of intent to enter must be received from any international team wishing to be considered for shipping support on or before January 31 of the year of the event to allow adequate time to determine if such arrangements can be secured.

Docks on the lake

The docks are on the south side of Champions Park Lake at the Clark County Fairgrounds. There is a grassy slope leading down to the docks. The lake bottom is rocky and drops off fairly quickly. Boat launching is best done with a lightweight dolly or trailer.

Team paddock tent

The team paddock tent gives each team an area of approximately 20′ x 20′ to store the boat and trailer, tools, etc. Security will be provided at night during the competition. Electricity will be provided to each team’s paddock area. The docks and lake are just out of the photo to the left.

2024 administration tent

The administration tent can be seen beyond the docks. The team paddock tent is just off the left edge of the photo.
