The Gauntlet

I shot some pics today of Great Scott and Allen running the newest obstical in The Price 4x4 park and thought I would post them. This is the Gauntlet and is like the Tank Trap at hollister hills CA. It is only a couple of days old and still being worked on. It will not be run this saturday in the king challenge but as side pool if the competitors want to play.

This is just about any motorcycle helmet ever made. But I have an extra you can use. Come on down. I will be in the pits checking the competitors in. Just talk to me Jeremy. And you don't have to have a spotter and Last year alot of the competitors spotted for each other when they were not competing at the same time. No use of a spotter strap so its just pointing and talking.

I'm goign to look for a helmet. If I can find one for low $'s, I'll get it. If I can't, then I'll take you up on yours. As long as it can fit my fat head! :D I think I wear a large? or was it an extra large? hmmm Don't remember now! It's been too long!!!

What's another way... I need to place the order in the next 45 minutes for it to be shipped out today.

They have measurements like 7, 7.25, 7.5, 7.75", etc... Where do they get that measurement from? I tried from the front of my head to the rear, and I'm 7". But I have worn a helmet before, and I know it wasn't a small....Which is what a 7" would be...

The open class is still wide open with only 2 preregisterd rigs. If you are in the open class and 1/2 tempted to enter come give it a try. I know your rig may not winn every event but thats the idea.

I'll probably do everything but the mud and tire pits...

I have a question for ya.... I know to enter you have to have a windshield and door mirrors (street legal). But I was thinking about taking my top, doors and windshield off. That way in case I roll I don't mess everything up too bad.... :-\ After all, I still have 2 years left on the lease! :D

You said Holiday Inn was booked, so I didn't even bother calling them. My first, and only, call was to Best Western.

I'm glad things are sold out... Means there will be people in town! :D

True... I'm now glad I was already planning on coming up Friday after work, rather than early saturday.

The idiots on the news said they have never seen this much devistation to a hwy before. I yelled at the tv 'what about Thistle'! 30' deep hole compared to 400' deep of mud over the roadway...To top it off, flooding streams filling in the canyon and ruining towns. Yeah, this compares... :rolleyes: They are complaining about it taking 2 days to fix, after Thistle wasn't the hwy closed for about 8 months? I lived in Huntington at the time, and all of our food, gas, etc. came from SLC. Since they had to go through through Duchesne, our prices sky rocketed and availability of items plumeted. It put us through a world of hurt. To make matters worse, at the time we were also have problems with mines caving in and explosions, so we were already hurting from them. Anyway...

It is amazing of what it did, though, and that nobody was killed by it. VERY lucky people!
