All Mile’s noted below are estimates!!

1. Race mile 2-10 have several wash outs and G outs, these have been marked with down arrows and dangers. Don’t end your day in the first 12 miles.

2. After Check point one there the road will be called Rally Road, it’s fast and twisty and a ton of fun, there are a few gotchas, pay attention to the markers.

3. After Visual B, you’ll get onto a Very fast county road, while the road will be “closed” keep an eye out for oncoming traffic. There is on left over a rise, and depending on speed, it could end your day.

4. RM 57-64 will be silty. You can go 50 feet from the racecourse on either side.

5. The last 8 miles is slow and go, and the course comes dangerously close to power towers and cables. These will be clearly marked with pink ribbon. We believe that it may be silty in this area, and based on some of the corners on the course that were raced 15 years ago it may get wide.

6. Just before the road crossing, there is a power station that is a 25mph speed zone.  You may be held at this road crossing for oncoming traffic.
