Shade from rain. There is plenty of shade from the sun, but a little (or a lot) of rain isn't stopping the fun! A tarp or pop up tent is useful.
If you bring a mountain bike, there are thorns everywhere. Tubeless and puncture sealant like Slime is recommended.

Adjusted the ticket price, I had it $5 higher than intended by accident. Also increased the female discount to $10 off entry. Registration will go until a week before the event. Two weeks before the event ticket prices will increase 25%.


Giveaways will happen at the awards ceremony, right now I am putting in a few hundred in prizes and Harley is going to throw down too.



Here is a shot of how the trails are looking now.

I just bought my ticket but I was a bit confused by the wording.

Does the ticket cover both 1.9 and 2.2 classes?
I'd like to run both of my trucks... gotta get the most out of my 7 hour drive! "thumbsup"

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

One ticket is for one vehicle per event. You can run as many rigs as you want, but only one will get scores per event. If you want two rigs in the TrailMaster challenge to get scored, you will need two tickets.

 

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]

so how many are going or have paid??

 

[CD13]

Chad and I are in. "thumbsup"

 

[JohnRobHolmes]
