Kind of ridiculous 'no night time wheeling', but rules are rules and they should have abided by them. I figure if people want to risk wheeling at night, they should know the consequences, or at least know the trail system very well and have adequate lighting on their rigs (and USE it). In this case, the park is a 'pay to play' with their rules/regs and it resulted in others being penalized for the acts of a few.

I like wheeling at night myself, but not dangerous trails. I find a lot of people who have lots of off road lights end up not using them... it's all for show, or they say they don't want to blind the driver in front. The way we always did it was to just turn our rear view mirrors and side mirrors to keep the light out of the eyes. All the light possible is the way we did it..... I realized the importance of light after I rolled my 40 at night, down a hill.... Drove back up, out and home afterwards too. However, off road lighting would have probably prevented the accident.
