Are you going to require blue light?..... Because ulta 4 and best in the desert had to stop using them. BLM and law enforcement claims they simulate emergency vehicals.

MNorby · 04-10-2011, 08:17 AM

I don't think we were going to require it this year at least but might be a good idea just for visibility when it is dusty.

Thats only if your racing ambulances and firetrucks haha!

crzyxj · 04-13-2011, 07:03 AM

Getting the buggy ready to go. I can't wait to drive it in Powell with the new suspension. Should be dialed in pretty good

Post up who is all coming this year?

Ditchrunner · 04-14-2011, 07:55 PM

Mike Jongeling with his yellow 2wd desert truck. Ford power and body. It will run in Pro class. I'll be there with a 71 Ford short box 2wd wannabe desert truck. Mod class for me it looks like.
We're out of Bozeman. There might be 2 more from here also. Another 80s Ford short box based rig (he's on the line between pro and mod - he'll have to get time off though) and possibly a ranger that would have to run pro. They have some work to do on that one, though.
I don't know of any KOH rigs from here that will be running. I've been trying though!

I will be there again this year! planning on not rolling this year! haha. Common guys we need to make the koh class that largest there!

MNorby · 05-02-2011, 06:36 PM

Got most all the obstacle sections setup yesterday for the KOH style race. Here is a gallery to show some of what to expect:

Also can see a few in this albumn from playing on what he had up a few weeks ago:

we piled a bunch of dirt around tires too for now hoping it will settle in more before the race.

crewchief · 05-02-2011, 08:09 PM

Looks awesome guys!!!!

crzyxj · 05-02-2011, 08:47 PM

good job. still planning the rebar cutting team? LOL! Looking forward to it!

MNorby · 05-02-2011, 08:55 PM

Didn't add much for cement stuff this year but we will have a torch handy in case any shows up. I think we got it all though the last few times now though. This is also why we did the tires, so if you don't like driving over the cement you have a completely alternative option for the race. The rock crawl though will wind across the dirt, tires, and cement sections.

MNorby · 05-09-2011, 07:29 PM

getting all the little things finalized for the race. can't wait.

crewchief · 05-09-2011, 10:58 PM

Me either! Got the larger fuel cell back in the buggy tonight!

MNorby · 05-14-2011, 06:31 AM

Here is one of the awesome raffle items to be given away at the event!!!!!

Ditchrunner · 05-15-2011, 08:07 PM

Sweet!

I've got the truck running. Now it is just tighten up time and maybe a few "nice to have" things.

Are we going to have the mandatory pit stop?

MNorby · 05-15-2011, 08:14 PM

Yes, there will be a mandatory pit again this year in the baja.

crewchief · 05-15-2011, 11:07 PM

Will the koh class have a mandatory pit stop?

MNorby · 05-16-2011, 03:55 AM

I don't think the KOH will. The logistics of the course and the time frame won't allow it too well.

Good to hear! it wasnt going to be the same without them!!!

MNorby · 05-21-2011, 08:01 PM

Weather has been pretty wet this week but long term is calling for it to clear up next week. Should help with some moisture in the ground to keep the dust down.

Race is still on regardless of moisture though right? No dust would be excellent.

MNorby · 05-21-2011, 09:31 PM

Unless its just sloppy, nasty, muddy then we'll be racing.
