Good times for sure. Was surprised at the lack of technical trails, but it was good to see everyone
Daniel and Dutch John are the only two technical trails and that can vary significantly depending on a few factors - 1) How recently the trails were fixed and 2) How wet they are. We only use the trails for one day out of a 5-day course as we have quite a bit of other private trails we have access to there locally.
Dutch John is easy if its dry. The hill climb on Dickey Bell is still tricky. We had two trucks in a row have failures going up Sat night. One blew a tire and the other broke both U joints on the rear drive shaft.
Weather is a huge factor on the difficulty out there. Big Creek (across the street from Uwharrie) is where if I go if I want more of a challenge..
I can imagine with the some of the grades, it'd get pretty stupid when wet
It's more the red clay than the grades. That stuff gets slicker than snot when it's wet. I've seen people that didn't have a really good MT get stuck in near flat areas.
What kind of MT works in red clay?
I havent seen a good one yet that works well in Virginia red clay...

Super swampers! I was hoping it would be wet last weekend so I could try my new TSL's out.. but it was bone dry...
