Well after a quick clean up and post ride inspection, found drivers side motor mount broke. Not bad after a little thrashing here and there..... oh, and a bent TC skid.

Ill say absolutely! I think everybody found enough to challenge themselves and their rigs, without anybody feeling left out.

Some people say I'm easily amused, but there's stuff at DTOR that none of us would even try, stuff no street driven rig should...

It's worth noting that while the park itself is pretty small, and some of the individual obstacles can be tight, the main trails are wide and clear enough that we travelled with nine rigs all day, on a holiday weekend, and only ran into a couple of bottlenecks.

None of the rush-hour-traffic wheel-n-wait that, personally, drives me nuts...

best part about DTOR is its variety for such a small park. main trails are great, some intermediate trails, then stuff they is hard for even well built stuff.

for local parks, IMO it is the best in without a long drive to harlan.


even at teh birthday bash, the only bottle neck i ran into was when the tanners were trail riding before the speed hills and had tons of people following them and they kinda of trapped us by "dork hill" for a while.

Yeah, DTOR is a really nice place to go. I like Big Rock, but you spend an awful lot of time driving from one obstacle to another. DTOR has pretty much everything in one area.
