How to register:

Go to RideMaster. You must register online via RideMaster – there is no paper entry form. (Don’t say you can’t register over the Internet – you’re reading this online, aren’t you?)

Answers to your questions:

Why should you enter Butt Lite 7?

1.     Because once again, we have the generous support of those nice people at The Iron Butt Association. The top 10 finishers in Butt Lite 7 will each receive a non-draw spot into the 2015 Iron Butt Rally. And the top finisher in Butt Lite 7 will have his/her IBR entry fee paid by TeamStrange.

2.     Not enough? Well, here is a bit of trivia for those with dreams of Iron Butt Rally glory:

•     Out of the top 30 finishers in the 2013 Iron Butt Rally, 16 rode in Butt Lite 6IX.

•     SIX out of the top 10 rode in Butt Lite 6IX.

•     The last 4 winners of the Iron Butt Rally are Butt Lite or TeamStrange rally veterans.

•     Butt Lite was created to give riders a less filling, great taste of the Iron Butt Rally.

       (Just sayin’…)

3.     Did we mention 2014 is the 30th anniversary of TeamStrange? You don’t want to miss the fun we have planned….

More questions?

•     No, you will not receive the rally pack prior to Saturday, July 5th at 8:00 PM.

•     Yes, there will be a checkpoint.

•     No, we aren't telling you where it is.

•     TeamStrange Uniform Rules apply. No other rules. Just our rules. Go read them here.
