I hadn't seen anyone post this, but I saw an article that the Chili challenge was able to continue. TThere is one big change though:
"Unregistered vehicles, people, and spectators will NOT be allowed on the trails or in the canyons during the 2009 Chile Challenge. Only registered participants, their vehicles, and registered passengers will be allowed on the trails. In addition, the public will NOT have access to the (previously available) spectator areas."
