Absolutely incredible!! I love these Ultra4 races!! I had a great time as usual. Glad the weather worked out for us, I don't think it gets any better in January. Thanks to everyone that helped out, from course setup to course cleanup. Seems like a lot of people were down to help out and it definitely makes for an amazing event. The course was awesome some of those climbs were crazy slick, had me using everything that brushless system had. The axle grind turned out sweet, and the course overall I though was spot on for the driving conditions. I had a ton of fun jumping and bashing my Wraith after the event, I love the new power plant.
