    Its on the far side of the 4x4 area, opposite the obstacle course (if that helps). They have bleachers and standing room on top of the hillside overlooking the open track area

    race was a blast. That course put a hurtin on some rigs. Buddy entered his baja bug in the street legal class and he broke his cage in half at the rear coilover tie in.

    Next year i guess they're requiring a roll bar and 5 points, which will be nice cuz then a stock raptor can't come out and win it.

    He just put a new 1900 motor in it. I'm not sure what its geared at but he has a bus tranny. And baja's suck at turning cuz there's no weight under the turning wheels, so short tracks are not their forte. But he was just out there to have fun and hopefully get a buyer for it.

    Damn I didnt see the baja get beat up like that? Thats rough lol. You guys see that taco flip around the first corner?
    But yeah tough course, i was pullin for that red 4runner, he was hangin for a while. Talked to them afterwards, pretty cool guys. Just sucks that some people are so loaded they can race theyre brand new raptor and not give a shit about it. Takes away from all the others who took time to actually build up their rigs. Was fun either way tho. I wanna get me one of those UTV's !!

    Yeah you couldn't see the split cage from outside.

    I'm surprised that blue taco didn't win it. He was the best built truck for that course and was terribly slow. I'm not sure if it was the driver or gearing or truck.

    horsepower and 4wd to pull out of the turns does wonders in a short course, but the raptor still bent his frame. idiot.
