Well fuck, i dont have thousands of dollars in my account right now.. guess Ill just stop doing anything cool.
As much as I hate clayton he said something in his interview that I agreed with... something like, "yea I came in 2nd but everything but first is just losing to me."
Thats how I feel about it, yea just running it would be a fucking blast. But winning it and getting to run it agian in JV! now that would be fucking sique. plus i cant plaster HMC across something that explodes on the first lap
this is my new goal, putting all ideas of jeep on back burner. Endurance racing is my new passion. Until something close to this is done though, only KOH running I will be doing is running from vehicles on the course in the camera logistics engeering vehicle

all im discussing is the fact that the koh course is easy when u take a few things out or 100% doable in average rigs at any level other than im here to run 1 lap and maybe do that and still fuck my shit up
it is not at all by any stretch of the imagination. u dont run enduro races in run of the mill trail rigs
before people shoot my ideas down, let it be known im not 100% into anything. I just think If i can get my rig to where i want it, it is possible. I may not be competitive, but i will have fun and thats all i give a shit about.
the only technical deely im worried about is windhield, cant exactly pop those in and out
compete? absolutely. truss the shit out of your axles and all suspension mounts. reinforce your motor mounts. build your shit for hard hits. be able to roll and easily recover. and make sure you can walk through the first half of rock creek at a 5-7mph+ pace.
as for finishing...
out of 32(?) rigs only 11 finished.
it would be fun as hell to give it a shot and even only do a lap or 2.
I've seen Sam eat jotters like it was a breakfast fucking muffin.
He needs to do that hill climb though.
the thing that killed everyone was the rain. goddamn 1.5" deep treads picking up coal mud after 60MPH+ runs through dirt then dumping it all over the rocks = no traction.
