When will we know what trails we are running each day, and the minimum requirements? In the past years we have been fairly organized with breakdowns of each run and information, etc.
I know everyone is excited, but we still have 3 months until the run and details will be finalized well before then. But the trails are likely the same ones that we usually run: Deer Valley (if open), Slickrock, Corral Hollow, etc.
We're hoping to hear from the judge about the 42 route closure in Eldorado National Forest so that we know which trails are available. I talked to the Ranger's office last week and they were expecting to hear from the judge in early May; their best guess is that we find out in another 2 weeks or so.
Assume minimum requirements are the same as last year:
Safety Items:
a. Visibly charged fire extinguisher (BC or ABC)
b. First aid kit
c. Adequate spare tire, jack and lug wrench
d. Safety belts for driver and any current passenger
e. Adequate attachment points in the front and rear of the vehicle:
- 1 Acceptable forms of attachment points: (All Items must be mounted in a manner to provide adequate strength and integrity)
- 2 Tow hooks of OEM or greater integrity
- 3 D-Rings
- 4 Shackle/Clevis
f. 20ft 10,000lb snatch strap without any metal hooks
g. Secured battery (no bungee cords)
Highly recommended:
3" of lift and 31" tires minimum
Rock sliders
Diff guards
Tcase skid
