While none of us STL guys have ever competed in a G6 before, we've been practicing on trail runs by trying to use a "no touch" rule whenever. It really changes your line of thinking. Driving stupid over a simple root in the ground can result in a rollover and waste your time (as well as a buddies because he has to pull you back over). It made it very satisfying to cross difficult terrain. Many times we had to daisy chain 3 trucks to help someone over an obstacle.

Thanks.

I put a new Timbuk 2 system into the dually and now I see water. Guess I'll putting it into a balloon when I get down there.

I know a few of our guys are heading down Friday night, but I will be there about 9 am on Saturday. I can't freaking wait! These days at work are taking forever.

Not sure, all the guys i know that are heading down Friday are going to hotels. Maybe Parker can post here and let people know if the area will be open on Friday night?

No. The front parking/camping areas will be open. The G6 area is closed until the Stage 1 start time. The area is awesome. Various trail conditions will be encountered and there may even be a bounty hill!

Yes. There will be plenty of areas to park near G-Central. It is a first come, first serve parking area.

In between stages, there is a resturant, K's Sport Grill less than 2 miles away. I have intel that there food is awesome!

If you get off on I-55 at Double OO / Double DD, follow the "Custom Differential Signs to the park. It's real easy. There may be pink ribbon, as well, to help guide G6'ers to the location.

Bring plenty of water!

Stage 2, the night stage will start at night fall, aprx 8:45pm +/-

I am effing stoked! I had no idea of the terrain, this is insane terrain and to the training wheel class...be scuurred, be very scurred! You all will have your own pull sled and various 2.2 only sections.

I look forward to seeing everyone getting their scaler fix, in Missouri's first RECON G6!
