Yes. Have to as far as Im concerned. I think the big ledge in the middle should be a bonus line.

Ya, that one is tough if you dont have wheelbase and clearence

Yeah. Im not familiar with some of the rigs so I dont know how many would do it but I know Harry and I could, and Im sure at least a couple others. Its a fun ledge but no joke either so I think it would be good to have it in there.

I love how you have taken over this dan. Made this work 100%for your ri. I mean what do I know I'm not in the 0.03% that wheels.

[HeavyMetal]

I strongly feel the course should be easier rather than harder, to accommodate more people.

Easier isnt always bad, if theres one thing ive learned working with racing so much, the difficulty comes from the stopwatch, not the single obstacles. All the most successful grassroots racing is rooted in attainability

A day spent racing beats a day spent trail fixing

[jgreen355]

What is the official date n time for this.

noon?

[konastinky1234]

ya make the easier options available but a bonus would be a good idea for that one spot since it is significantly tougher to get up that spot and there are two distinct trails to take. noon sounds good. as long as everyone can finish it would be fun.

[jgreen355]

Sounds good.

Stop being a pussy. Apparently I have to take over or you guys are going to end up having a race across the parking lot so you can make it home.
Your Jeep is perfectly capable of doing all of the obstacles there.
I think the big ledge should be a bonus. Just because only a couple of us can do it doesnt mean that we will do it first shot. As far as Im concerned if you go around and I hit it, it will probably take me longer than you. With no penalty for bypassing that obstacle its advantageous to you.
With the time it will take for all the rigs to go I think having the bigger obstacles will make it more fun. Especially if the group breaks up to watch.
Last time we were there last year Armands old Jeep went up Gatekeeper on 31's open front/welded rear and a bastard lift. The only one I see having an excuse is John because I think he will have the shortest rig.
