Jack, If you drill down into the www.offroadexperience.com site you'll find all the info you need. Left menu is Nevada Trophy. Definitely it's a competition! There'll be over 200 waypoints hidden in 10,000 square miles of badlands. You'll only need to acquire about 40 or 50 of them to win. So good navigation, speed of operation, physical stamina and sheer determination are all required! See you in April! PS: Your XD sounds cool! Doug | ||

interested, but still have to convince parent... how much sleep do you actualy get... Cheers Jack | ||

It's entirely your call on the sleep if 36 hour format. Last year all entries returned to the hotel for at least 5 hrs. If we go with two 14 hrs, there will be a mandatory sleep break. Hope that helps! DW | ||

All, Just got a bulletin from www.offroadexperience.com. The NVTR will consist of two 15 hr. days this year -- Friday the 30th of April and Saturday May 1st. So a mandatory sleep break. (Whew.) Sign up deadline is April 1st -- rapidly approaching! There is a novice event for first timers that is one day only (optional - novice can choose to compete in the full event as well). Let me know if you have any questions. Doug | ||
