Yes, curious minds do wonder... I was born and raised in Arizona till I moved to Oregon 5 years ago and never heard of using dryer sheets.

Bounce sheets good for keeping rats out of your engine compartment as well as keeping the bugs off.

Why, you got a hot date you got to get to?

[Erik D_lux]

I had to be talked into 6min for BOTW courses. Since then even in 801 we went to 6min courses. Now when I run 5 min, its so rushed, more of a race, and its harder to do harder courses and be technical with them.

I was trying to be gentle with my suggestion, this is not my comp and I dont want to hassle those who are organizing it. I prefer 6 min, I have said my piece and I would happily get behind a 5 min course if thats what the organizers wanted.

[Redlinerob]

We give you 5 min even at our local comps , can't even remember when we stopped running 6 min courses.

[Erik D_lux]

Sorry, its even in the 1st post!

[Redlinerob]

Just letting you know how we do it down here in Arizona

And everyone was tickled at the amount of drive time that they got in Utah, 7 courses 6min. unheard of. All we needed was a little more daylight to finish everyone

I agree with ya Erik, the more drive time the better, hell some of us are only driving like 19hours to attend the comp. no big deal. Im good either way though if I had a choice id take 24 min of drive time verses 20 for any comp.

[Hittman]

I can agree with what was said with 6 minute courses. They are going to be more technical and to me at least, more fun. When 5 minute courses are ran it almost seems like it's a rock racer course, not a crawling course. But, 5 minute courses are what have been decided,, so we will run it, and we will like it

[nappahdog]

Here in p town we are used to 5 minute courses so they will stay 5 minutes. just be smart about driving and take the gate if needed, we all have to run the same course is what we always say.

Another reason is the amount of time is would take to run everybody ; another minute on a course adds HOURS to the judges day, it's going to be very hot and I want the judges to be in and out asap.

it is also dependant on the amount of judges that step up how many courses we have (it says at least 5 in the first post), I would really like to have 6 pro courses, so if people want more drive time, I need more judges

[donzx12]

26 drivers eventbrite closed 7 judges i think it will go pretty fast.

[Erik D_lux]

Wow. Not a huge turn out but the quality is there.

[Erin]

I think if they can get 10-12 judges, it would be possible to open up another 15-20 driver positions and possibly get 6 courses as well. It will be hot, but we should also have plenty of daylight to work with.

Hopefully some more people will stand up and lend a hand.

I'll judge a course. I'm not scared of 100* heat
