About CARNAGE CANYON:
It would not have been fair if I had told any of the drivers or spotters about the timbers buried in the rocks. I thought you guys would use them to build a bridge. Looks like you figured it out at the end.
I always like to add something in the course that makes you guys think. One time (at band camp) we had a gate you could make in reverse in about 2 seconds but it took 2 mins to drive thru forward. Just remember, this is not your father's rock crawling event.
"SPOTTER, USE THE WINCH!" Trail Hand Dan went hoarse trying to get that point across, and Tonya posted on the site at one point before the event, that there was an obstacle that required a winch to get through. We even put it in the rules that a winch was required in the pro class. We attempt to have our events capture all of the aspects of four-wheeling, not just driving ability. . .so USE YOUR TOOLS!
All in all, you guys flat got it awn. I have never seen anything like the crowd swarming Team Purple at the finish line, and another husband and wife team celebrating their anniversary by competing in an event. Happy Anniversary Ed and Cathy Crook.
To all the participants, vendors, media and spectators, you guys made my day Sunday when I went back to clean up (after wheelig the course till 2:00 am). There was not 1 piece of garbage in the parking lot, camping area , or pits. I truly appreciate that you all proved that it is not 4 wheelers that are trashing OUR public lands.
Please, please spend your money at the shops that support these events, weather its CRCA, CAL ROCS, UROC, RCAA, OR ANY OTHERS. Without the help of the sponsors, there won't be rock crawling events.
Hope to see you all back on January 11. You guys introduced a heck of a lot of lookieloos to the world of rock crawling. :D
