This weekend I went around the tentative course for the P250 and I have to tell you, it's awesome! Parts of it is like racing from Ojos Negros, through Tres Hermanos and up to the bottom of the Summit down in Baja.
Don't be misled by the fact that it looks like a straight shot in several sections. They are anything but, with lots of terrain change; sand, whoops, silt, etc.
We had major rains last Sunday and the terrain has changed dramatically. On certain sections where there were "whoops" it is now flat as a pancake but it's all on top. Other section have deep crevices where the water ran rampid. This is our best course so far this year. You're going to have fun.
Too bad HDRA moved their race in Moab from the week before to our weekend. We might lose some drivers.
Regardless, if you want to have the best time, you've go to make this one!
