Does this place whoop up bad? Can't remember, last year was end to end 1 foot deep mud ruts. First year was too long ago, can't remember, lol.

Don't know. Never been although I have known the McMahans for 30 years, since we are all from Lubbock. The video I saw was sand and I remember the old Sidewinders race not too far from there in the 90s had some whooped out sections. So I figured this probably will get pretty rough. Plus I am already lining up my excuses for doing poorly, which if this race follows my last several races, will be what happens. Lost a bunch of speed around a two level spine fusion and a couple nasty crashes and am fading fast, ha. Don't care, I am having a blast racing with my two grown kids. It is a blessing. My youngest works on a ranch near Cherokee so I will swing by and pick him up on the way.

Fun place with a few interesting climbs if they recovered from last year! Rain chances sneaking, not good, lol. McMahans are great folks, don't know them other than hanging with them at 2 Grinduros and the 2 races at the ranch. Wayne saved my bacon on a very nasty hill climb last year, indebted for sure, ha.
I'm sure your fading "fast" isn't as bad as mine, about to give the racing side up, still love to trail ride tho. Good luck and a blessing to race with your kids for sure.

Most awesome thing I've personally done. Watch really neat guys one on one, Short, Bobbit. Cody Webb, Richard Buerleson, and Kirkpatrick. And the riding is awesome for ANY level. Good luck on getting in. Last year's participants get first choice then open if any spots left. I went first 2 couldn't go 3rd time, out of loop now.

And 18 AA, wow.

Local weather dude this morning says Sunday afternoon is most likely for rain. Maybe you'll get in a good race and be headed home by then.
