What doc said is correct. I'll also add that the ridge rest was made for this type of event. Your Exo Terra will have a good time on the trails but some of the more difficult terrain is going to be virtually impossible for it since it doesn't have locked transmissions. It can be pulled over some areas with a tow rope but the rocky areas are going to be near impossible for it. It would be a great rig for the free run after the event where the group will be exploring the 7 miles of trails that Dornwood provides. We hope to see you on Sunday!!

Colbychz, this link might be good for you to read through to see what you may want to take with you on the trail. We could be out in the woods for some time and there are some things you will want to bring with you.

Shawn, congrats on your win at Goat Hill!
I've been looking forward to this event, but it looks like I may have to work this weekend. If I'm able to go, it will be a last minute thing. My apologies to those I had offered a ride to. Hopefully Bryan can squeeze all of you in the Avalanche.

A summit is fine. Your tires are bigger than 2.2 but you will go nicely in the 2.2 class.

I guess if there will be nobody else in my car I'll take a ride! It just seems kinda pointless to take a car with only myself in it... your call though, either way is fine with me!
These came in today.
Trophies look good!
These came in today.
Those are awesome! I want one!

Tomorrow's Weather Forecast for Topeka - weather.com
Guys, we need to figure out if we want to risk it or reschedule to next Saturday or Sunday. Please give me your input.
I know some folks aren't water proof. Additionally, some of the terrain, specifically the hill climbs will be hard for us to navigate on foot. The trails are going to be muddy also. I don't live too far from the place if we would need to get a break from a down pour. At the same time I don't look forward to a few hours setting up gates in the morning in a thunderstorm. What do you think? The 10 day forecast says next Saturday has a slight chance for rain and next Sunday is supposed to be clear. On the flip side of the coin, last week it called for a ten, then thirty chance of rain for tomorrow. Now it is much higher.

Thank heavens! Borrowing my brother's car isn't going to pan-out so a ride will be much appreciated!
Hmmm, this is a tough one. Being outside in the rain isn't too bad, but I'm a bad enough driver in perfect conditions:mrgreen: Plus having to navigate the terrain on foot could be a challenge too. Basically, I would hate for the weather man to be wrong and we miss a perfectly good opportunity to crawl, but I would equally hate dealing with the rain. In my opinion, it sounds like it should be up to the event organizer?
Though, if it were me, I can't say I'd chance it...
