2010 Supplemental Regulations v2
Stages ready, rally ready – are YOU ready?!
Over the weekend we were out on the stages (with our little Honda Fit no less). The course is in really great shape, and we adjusted the stage notes to reflect that, plus other changes like a wide sweeper, etc. We’re going to do a better job marking off the service area this year; look for signs, banner tape, and orange snow fence. We will have a separate area for Parc Expose’ in the morning.
Are you ready to challenge the High Desert Trails? The rally competition is now at 17 entries for cars and 6 entries for bikes. We need a couple more entries to comfortably make our budget, but 25 days out with a high number of paid entries is fantastic and we want to thank the competitors that got their entry payments in early.

Grading done, stages in great shape!
High Desert Trails wants to thank the outstanding services of Paula Gibeault and Chuck Griffin for the grading! The course has many different sections, some are nice hard-packed fast sections, some are sandy soft sections that rocks will pop out of. There are tricky tight areas that are a blast to drive on. There are sandy areas that you’re going to have to use your skill to get through. There is a pretty decent straightaway that you will to want to go really fast on. We have mitigated the trouble spot hairpin(s) that used to be directly in the bottom of the wash. These stages are a good challenge and a lot of fun!
