--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONFIRMED!

It will be at my house in the Colorado Springs area of Monument and Black Forest. For those not from the area: it is located about 50 miles north of Pueblo and about 40-50 miles south of Denver. June 19th....all day long, until we just get sick of crawling. I'll BBQ and have some beer for you all. The courses are going to be disgustingly sick.....so be ready for carnage!!!!!
You can email me to let me know if you're coming and I'll give you good directions. I'm expecting 10+ rigs at the moment. I'm sure more will confirm.

The course consists of several, very, very technical and steep waterfalls. Wheelbase and low cg will be your friend, as well as low gearing and durability. There are also big boulder sections in between the waterfalls that favor the Kong tired and mucho clearanced crowed. After the waterfall sections, we move to large boulder fields that will require serious technical work or...you may just have to bash through.
I can alomst promise that you will hate me and my devilish courses when the day is done. You'll also need to visit the hobby store the next day.

Oh yes. There will be scoring and some nice prizes for the winner. Each waterfall will have escape routes for the wimps. Using escape routes will add to your score and hurt your ego! In the boulder fields, there will be a "Big Balls Route" and a "***** Route". You will automatically add points to your score if you choose the ***** Route but you may add even more points by attempting and failing the Big Balls Route. You will need to be a thinker before hitting my rock courses.

One more note: Wear some hiking boots or comfortable shoes, as we will be hiking through some natural terrain and we will most likely walk to a boulder field course that is about .25 miles away from the Waterfalls. The threat of thunderstorms will also be high. The waterfalls may actually be just that.....full of water!!!!! Be prepared!!!!

Just pre-ran the waterfalls. Well.....waterfall. After 1 hour of trying, I finally beat the first waterfall. I started to try the 2nd and it was getting too dark and I was tired. Twisted a drive shaft and my front ring and pinion are now smooth. Prepare for CARNAGE!!!!!!!!!

I also added a new section to kick off the event.
It's called: Tierra Del Sol
