Entry list is filling up and the SB should be a ton of fun for you guys this year. MD class is going to be extremely competitive this year. Glad to see Mike back on the SE. Going to miss that Appy that Conger rode though.
If anybody wants to run some similar terrain to SB pm me.
Thanks for fighting for our rights to ride Jack!

Do you have a row assignment yet? Known controls..... you guys have it easy down there. It's a Hare scamble divided into sections hahahaha

Haven't seen it posted yet, they just posted for the Cherokee enduro and with registering 20 minutes after the opening I got row 99 If it's wet I'll not even bother showing up as row 48 last year was ridiculous in wet weather.

Hey: I remember Crank, me and another guy or two Push starting Bill off the line at BRS a few years ago.

Jason: Send me an email. I got some great pic's of you the other day. JJ, Dave C and Peter joined us last week.

That wasn't Bill, Jack, that was Mark Ely. His seat was pinching the fuel line at the start of Jerden falls. I liked when we ran Jerden falls in that direction and made the hard right at the Sand pits. Great road!

Sounds like the potential for a miserable time if the row assignment sucks.
Heading to the Winter scramble in the morning, should be fun!

Why don't you bring the 500 down and come run the Sandlapper with us.

As far as row assignment, Bobby is right...not out yet. We had one guy sign us all (5) up at the same time on the 1st day of registration. He requested the same row for us...row 25.

Sounds like a few folks are running the Enduro on Sunday after SandBlast. Anybody doing the harescramble? Any scouting reports from folks who've done this race before?

This sounds like more fun to me after a rally My 500 isn't set up for Enduro yet and I probably won't have time with all the other stuff going on.

That's what I though. More open trail, Less than 600 riders... and $30 cheaper...

Yep, but it's not a National like the Sandlapper.

$30 cheaper....Now that's funny ...and you're traveling how far and paying how much to run the SandBlast? What's another $30?

Hey Crankshaft, You said the Sandlapper ain't nothing but a Hare Scramble divided into sections, so what's the difference in setting your 500 up for 1 HS or a bunch in the same day?

I don't care if it's an international, I'm not interested in row 130, especially if it rains Did this race on Sunday and had a blast....



Line up, drop the hammer for two hours and then head home....perfect

Sounds like a good format for a stage at Sand Blast. Wave start like a couple of years ago in Dakar.

Yep, back rows are going to have a tough time at the Sandlapper if it's wet.
