Ok, so I am just a spectator but I am trying to figure out if I want to blow 15-20 bucks to go this weekend.

What teams are running? I know there is another thread on this but it went another direction. I would really like to see that independent front suspension thing that Shannon built. Anyone know if he will be there? I saw all the local guys run a few weeks ago at the ROC race, I don’t want to watch that again.

Lastly, does anyone know if the course will be any good? It seems like each year the course gets easier or the racers get better but there is no challenge. The ROC race was not very exciting to watch---I know different idea but still they are on the same courses. So, will the course have some challenging sections or will they just fly over it all?

Thanks

maybe its just me but this is a rock RACE, they are going to fly over the course. this isnt a rock crawl.

not sure if the ifs car will be in the springs or not. i did hear that Shannon was going to bring both cars to the race, not sure if this is true or not, but this race i think is way better for the spectators. Most of the course you can see from one spot. and a bunch of the cars that run xrra didn't run the roc race.

Rick Deremo the winner from Moab will have his IFS car there for sure. Shannon maybe.

Hopefully everyone will be challenged and we will just fly over it!!

This is XORRA racing this weekend, you will be blown away. Our drivers our the best in the country. Campbelll is coming with two rigs and we have a few eastern division drivers coming out, you will not be disappointed. See you this weekend.

Good luck with that thought Chad:shaking: Then again, i hear those ORI's Damian's running are smooth. Like was stated above, this is a rock race, not a crawl. The courses can have challenging sections, but if it were all "challenging" and slow going, it wouldn't be the Xrra and a lot of us racers wouldn't be interested. I for one am hoping for some new, exciting course changes this year:smokin:

Hey, Brian's number in on his buggy now :bounce:

Joel Withers and Adam Carter are coming all the way from Ms and Al respectively to race the big boys.....you guys be nice to them :D

Seriously, to ask if this race is worth $20 to come watch is laughable. It will be fantastic. You won't be disappointed.

We go 4500 miles to look this race:beer:
