The terrain was for sure rougher, the low area was a pea gravel sand mixture with no solid bottom so you could dig dig dig and never hit a solid bottom. The high area was a hard packed dirt that turned to grease once the ran came. It was a blast regardless, had the weather held out it would have been even better.
Here is a small video I put together of a couple runs I did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAN4e...ature=youtu.be |

Dang, looks like I missed a NASIOC party last night! Anyhow, thanks Nate, Nate MFM, and the other organizers, it's great to see there is so much potential and passion to get RX up and going in different regions. I had a blast, met some great people, and got to get a bit dirty. Pictures will be up this morning. I do have some feedback for the organizers (all good stuff ) that I will share once I get my thoughts compiled. |

One suggestion that may help in the future is to try to split the run groups up by class. Whether that means 3 groups, or NA and turbo are one group and 2WD is the other, etc. That way if you have course corrections, everyone in a class runs the same course. That would have helped alleviate not knowing how to score at the end, since run group 1 ran a 25% longer course than group 2. Other than that, just have less rain next time so the course doesn't deteriorate as quickly. |

Perhaps in the mud where you can't get much speed it was OK but based on the pictures this doesn't seem like the venue I'd personally want to take a non-caged car at full tilt in the dry. Especially a lowered car You can't teach people common sense, and some people can never be appeased. Kudos to the organizer for securing the location, entrants, and insurance to put on the event.
