GSMTR Prerun 14 April

Weather was nice at Superlift ORVP too.

Y'all get any pics, how many of the trails did you get to, and how much trail maintenance was needed?

We did pretty much every trail that was marked as easy or moderate on the old map. Very few are still easy and most of the moderates are pretty challenging now. We made a list of spots on the "easy trails that need some work so hopefully Anthony can get some work done on them before GSMTR.

Have they done any work to the ledge at the top of 2?

We requested that the work on 1,2 and12 to keep the easy. probably not a lot they can do with the ledge.

Drill or jack-hammer to knock the lip off?

That ledge really isn't anything anyway. I'm pretty sure I saw open/open stock trucks make that little stairstep at GSMTR last year. Looks much worse than it really is. It may take a stocker a bit of "driving", but there's not much risk of any kind of damage except maybe scuffing up a rim I think. Just my opinion though.

That ledge has changed a bit in the last year,well not the ledge but the dirt at the base of it. I may be wrong but i dont thing my 60 would make it anymore. IMO it needs a bypass

 

[DSLTOY]

I believe Anthony will fix the approach. Like Steve said the ledge is a good place to challenge the less modified trucks with a very small risk of damage.

I guess, in the end, it might be a good place to put a bypass anyway since that trail is kind of a "connector" trail and certainly is the #1 place to enter the trail system from the majority of the camping areas. Think about having a disabled truck that needed a tow back to camp; if there was a bypass there, it would be the shortest way into camp from most trails - albeit a lot more uphill so it'd have to be completely dry to have a chance at towing that way though. But the alternative would be all the way back to the track and up the pavement; that's a really long way.
