It's a single pass, timed run. One rig on the course at a time.
Course was 1/2 mile last year, we're expanding it to 1 mile this year.
If you don't like your first pass, you can use a "mulligan" and run again.
Your second pass time is the one you will use for the money.
This made for a great finish last year!

I might try and run this year, but it depends on the layout of the course. I was there and ready last year and decided just to spectate. Ended up that it was a wise decision because there was one section that took out the wiper cowl and hood on all three full bodied jeeps and the windshield frame of another. The buggies and the Samurai w the exo cage just bounced off the trees so the only damage was paint. I think the only way to have avoided it was to jump or skip over the large rock that was wedged between the trees, and that would have necessitated a heavy duty, full coverage skid plate to save the oil and tranny pans.
And if the v notch where you have to lay your rig on it's side is part of the course, I'm spectating. Other than that, I look forward to it.

The course will be in the same area, but we've moved the start & finish to within 30 yards of each other. No more mad dash this year.
We will be adding yardage, and fluffing other parts, as well as building some new things to help with the show.
We've improved the Cowl Crusher, but I don't think you're going to like it much. :teehee: We've added some trail yardage getting up to Cowl Crusher, that we like to call "Oil Pan Alley".
For the Sportsmans Class, we will be avoiding that spot. You'll have the option of avoiding some of the more extreem things during the Sportsman Class Run, but it will still be on the same course/area. This way we get more folks running and having a good time, that don't have the things like D60's, Atlas Cases, LT1's, ect...in their Jeeps. We are hoping this will give others that normally wouldn't run in an event like this a taste of what it's like to compete w/o trashing the wifes daily driver. (to much)
Hope to see you make it back out this year!

Is it a "fast" 1 mile, or 1 mile of crawling or???

Is there any pre-running or atleast walking the course before hand?

There's going to be a mixture of both. Be prepaired to Crawl, and Haul.
Last years winning time was 08m:44s
Last years last place time was 45m:00s
You can walk the course starting Friday afternoon, as well as the morning of the event. The Sportsman Course will be on the same course, but with some minor modifications for Sundays Race.

It's a long way, and $200 for a 1 mile run isn't exactly cheap. If I'm in the states I might do it.

True, it's not cheap, but we really want this one to be the "Big One" to wrap up the end of the wheeling season. Last years price was $300, and there were some suggestions that we lower it this year, as well at change the start time. Which will now be now be 12 noon. All entry money is going to be paid back in the purse, as well as some big dollar prizes awarded.
All I can say is we had a hell of a good time last year!
Hope you can make it out, even if your watching the action.

are most vehicles able to make it without winching, or is there a point where 95% of the rigs are winching?

This is for the Open Class:
We watched one rig blast through the whole course w/o a winch last year. (he also finished 33rd in KOH this past year)
But......on his "mulligan run" he was wishing he had a winch, because he got hung up and couldn't get the rig off a big rock.
Ended up in last place, from 2nd because of it.
I can't remember any other rig making it through the whole course w/o using a winch at some point.
Hi-Lifts, come allongs, ratchet straps all count if they are being used safely.
Your call on a winch, but remember that you only have 45 minutes to finish the course before you'll time out.

For the Sportsman Class:
You should be able to make it through that modified course w/o a winch, unless something really goofy happens to you along the way.
But, then again you might need one?

31's would be the min for running in the Sportsman Class.

We're working on finalizing the classes for the Sportsman's Run. It's going to be by tire size, and it's going be fair for every rig that enters.
Someone on 31's won't be running up against someone on 44's. (Unless they want to?)
We really want this to be about having a good time, and some friendly competition.
We are working on fine tuning the rules for the Sportsman Class right now, and will have something posted up real soon.

Thanks.

Does your payout stated in the rules on your web site increase if you get more entries than "X"? 100% pay back? And is the current payout guaranteed regardless of a poor showing?


19. Prize money will be awarded as follows for Open Class: 1st place $500.00, 2nd place $300.00, 3rd place $200.004th place 10 visit park pass, 5th place 5 visit park pass.
Payout for the Sportsman Class will be based on the number of entries we have, and how much is in the pot.

What is listed in the rules is our projected payout with 5 entries, which is we are hoping to have. If we don't get 5, then we'll adjust the payout with what we have that day. Still paying back all of the pot reguardless. The payout will increase with more entries.

The classes for the Sportsmans Challenge on Sunday Oct. 23rd, are:
31"-33" Tires, 33"-37" Tires, and 37"-44" on up.

We'll run for what's in the pot based on how many entries we have per class, plus prizes.

Thanks.
33's and 37's can run either class?
How about:

31"-34"
35"-39"
40" on up

or

35" and under
36"-42"
Unlimited

or (the best, but might be too many classes)

31"-33"
34"-36"
37"-40"
41" on up

Full body jeep linked on 39.5s, am I in sportsman or unlimited class?
974x4Taco, don't bail because you're only on 38's. You wouldn't believe how it shook out last year.
David whooped Goliath in a big way last year. It's about your driving skill, not so much your tire size.
It's going to be a riot, so come on out and run. The course is awesome, and we are adding more crazy stuff every evening.

Trail Junkie, you can run either or both. You run what you brung on Saturday's Open Class, and you would be in the larger tire size class on Sunday's Sportsman Class Run.
Remember, $200 to enter the Open Class on Saturday, and $25 for the Sportsman Class on Sunday.
