It depends what class you ran in.

Trail riders was more of a baja style competition with hill climbs, some obstacles, etc nothing too extreme. But enough for a good challenge. We try not to make to challenging because it is an endurance race, i.e. - how long will your vehicle last. We don't want you breaking your rig on the first lap but we also want to make you run. We did have a guy get some pretty serious damage to his cherokee jumping into the bowl at the base of the eliminator hill. I think he blew a tire and his axle broke off or something.

Unlimited class had a more challenging course. We ran cemetery hill, which has a knarly bank at the top and some tight trails to navigate to get out. We also incorporated the rock with this class as well. I think Todd or one of the Ultra buggy guys lost a tire and I recall someones brakes caught fire. There were a few roll overs as well.

You missed a good time if you weren't there.
