I would suggest bringing it down and let us take a look at it. If we feel its unsafe for competition at least you can play around on the grounds with it.

Thanks for the info.

I just wanted to pass along the information. Friday night is going to be an endurance race. The course is 1.5miles and the run time is 1hour per class. Currently we are looking at running 2 classes basically a stock / modified class and then an unlimited / pro unlimited class. If more competitors show up then we will split the classes up further. The difference between the two is basically the unlimited / pro class will run the rocks and cemetary hill. Cemetary hill is known to brake axles fairly often. Back in the old days they used to run it in the obstacle course of Gravelrama. Its a fairly steep hill with a nasty crest. The stock / mod class is basically baja style with some rocks involved.

Our course developers will be cutting in some pretty nice obstacles for the race through out the grounds.

If you plan to run you need to have the typical safety equipment and an air horn so when you pass someone they know something is coming around them.

Cool. Break out the general lee horn! How many laps is edurance gonna make to make that 1.5 miles?

fmlewis · 07-02-2011, 07:12 PM

One lap is 1.5 miles. It basically includes all of the competition areas.

See how many you can make in 1 hour. The one with the most laps is the winner. We will have checkpoints along the course where we will place a sticker on your sheet.

We will have a table / board with up coming offroad event information for other local clubs to post information.

Also, don't forget your canned goods for the Food Drive. The BLOC house in cleves helps families throughout the westside of Cincy. They provide a lot of support in the form of grocery assistance, meals, homework help, various activities, monitored computer lab, etc, etc. Don't worry if you don't have can goods to donate the $2 discount that you would have recieved will still go directly to the BLOC and they can purchase items they need.

If anyone has access to special items like comercial basketball hoop, folding chairs, laptop computers (1.5 years or newer), flooring, etc. Feel free to contact me thru this forum I can get you in contact with the appropriate folks at the BLOC.

Thanks,
Frank
