They are heading up Wrecking Ball and then will head down Clawhammer.

They are nearing the top of wrecking ball.

Can they run:
Claw Hammer
LBJ
BJ
Boulder dash
and then clear 18-20 miles of desert in an hour?

Starting on claw hammer

 

[Vanimal]

is there a time cutoff?

 

[nosigma]

5pm your time unless they have two different times for the 4500 and 4600 groups

 

[nosigma]

Looks like Richard and Cal are not going to cheat, they are going straight to LBJ. More than a couple cut around LBJ and RM 90 using the wash to the east and went up to UBJ.

 

[mako my day]

Did they finish in time?

 

[Lurch]

Did they finish in time?

Nope. Only one stock class finished, just dnf'd the rest of the field.

But they are in second place.

 

[nosigma]

You can at least see them finish the race on the IRC tracking feed.

they look to be the only running stock class rig out there. 3rd place got left behind at LBJ a long time ago.

edit: I stand corrected 4623 is moving again exiting boulder dash

Organizer screw up. They shouldn't have set the course so long and tough if they weren't going to give the least-equipped class more time to finish.

 

[scottmcneal]

Hey they got there money, who cares about the rest.Sorry had to say it

Should be crossing the finish line here pretty soon. In the home stretch! So close to finishing in time too. It's a big accomplishment just to finish. Even more so, so close to the cut off time. Would have liked it if Dave made an audible to extend the time by an hour or two for the stock classes to at leave have an official 2nd and 3rd place instead of just a 1st place finisher for stock and the rest DNF. Oh well, we know who's ACTUALLY 2nd and 3rd, the IRC is still going.

I heard about folks skipping a section, I'd be real curious to see if the one car that made it through followed the official course or got creative.

You can check it on the map online. It drops bread crumbs when u click on the vehicle.
