I'm getting a hotel obviously. Who else is down? For those who haven't been, it's a blast. However, this is gonna be the first time (in recent memory) when it's not being held at the Ocala Speedway. The Ocala Jeep Club knows how to put on a show, and always had awesome courses of different skill levels. I'm sure even though we're going to a new venue, they'll still make a heck of a good time happen! Now, Let there be Cherokees!!!!!

Quick question, in this event is it off road users only because I've got 20's on my '96 ( I know that it's unfortunate ) but I would really love to try to make it!

Bustedknuckle, where did you end up booking to sleep? We wanted to stay in a camper at Southern Oaks but they are booked except for tent area. We might just do that. ..

pulled this from another forum:
"For you stockers, the stock course is right at a mile long. There is one good sand hill where you will need 4wd. Of course you will have plenty of opportunities to flex your suspension.

For the moderate crowd, the course is also longer then in the past. You will drop down into the woods and immediately test your flex and ability to navagate the trees. Once you exit the trees you will need to navagate a series of holes and a K rail. After the K rail you will make a sharp turn and drop into a hole (your roof will be even with the top of the hole) which upon climbing out brings you to the rock garden. Next come a series of steps , k rails, etc leading to the exit. If it rains plan on having trouble getting out of the hole. Requirements I believe are 33's and hopefully you might have a traction aid.

For the extreme crowd, you follow the intermediate course through the woods and exit to the extreme course. From there it is amazing what they have done. All I can say is good luck. The rock pile actually goes up a hill.
