Theres a high speed race section, and a serious rock crawling section all part of the same course. All rigs need to make it through both sections.

That means no then?

I guess you can call it a rally for extremely built rock crawling rigs. Its my first time going to KOH, and it should be yours too

There will be millions of dollars of bad *** rigs out there.

There's supposed to be fair phone service near the main tent. I don't have a CB, but I'll give you a try Friday morning.

Why are you going up tonight?
