• Course notes: 

• The washes have been “washed” but no signs of major wash outs or damage. During the poker run, the wash will need to be burned in. Take your time as these washes can be a little loose before burning in.  

• There are 2 corners that over the last few year that have got very wide. We will have markers and pink tape hung to try and keep these corners to 1 line. These corners will be monitored. If caught outside of the main line, you will be DQ’d. 

• 25mph and speed zone signs mean 25mph at the sign. Acceleration needs to happen after the end speed zone or end 25 mph signs. Speeding in a speed zone starts with a warning, after that it’s a 1-minute penalty for every mph you are over the speed limit. Excessive speeding will result in a DQ.  

• Speed zones are 25mph, not 20, 15 or 10mph. IF you cannot maintain 25mph in the speed zone and another racer is behind you, pull over come to a stop and allow the other racer to pass.  

• There are a total of about 10 dangers on course. Most are for large rocks. There are also only a couple down arrows for some washes. Other than that, the course is fast and fun!
