- Stage etiquette should be adhered to at all times. Make 3 attempts at a trail obstacle and then winch or receive assistance from a fellow G6’er. Drive smart. There is no penalty for winching or having a fellow G6’er assist you. Faster drivers have the right of way. This was missed by people that day. Guys were making far more than 3 attempts before winching. Also note the faster driver part. Here is what i did. When I saw a place to go around a big group before a gate I used it. Some where hail Mary's. Then when I got to the guys at the obstacle I waited for a few attempts I then said, "if you let me trough, I will pull you up". Nobody refused. Once I got an opening, it was hammer down! Then when I got to another group I would hang back for a minute, offer suggestions if I had any, and eventually asked if they minded if I pass. Some guys just saw me coming up quick and immediately said "go around". I started in the last row and I finished the whole deal with about 4 minutes left. I could have done it quicker but I didn't start searching alternate lines leading to the next gate until later in the stage. | |

I would suggest that those wanting to BONZI the trail should NOT have started in the back. For when one is pushing thru others they do come off as appearing RUDE. |

The start will be changing for the next events so there won't be in bottlenecks. There will be flow to the trail markers.

Anyone who is rude about passing others needs to rethink their attitude towards others. On the other hand, adventurist drivers need to also respect that ultra drivers are there for their kind of fun as well, a higher paced, fast track kind of race. Since adventurist will be penalized for finishing to fast anyway, I dont think its a big deal to allow another faster driver to pass, especially if they are on time, and arent rude lol. Remember, ultra does two laps, so thats twice as many or more gates. I ran into this a bit at Apple Valley last year during the night stage. Ultra was required to pull 4 laps, and we were passing the same drivers multiple times, some began to get an attitude lol. In the end, we are all playing with toy trucks having a hell of a time diciphering Parkers mad courses | |
