There will be lots of air time flying through the air plus many times driving on either the left or right side wheels.  Are you a Duke boy or a Hazard County deputy sheriff?

The .50 cal will be way turned up to maximum and object hardness turned down to the minimum. 

It is advised for all racers to write down the directions of the race before hand.  racers must complete the race in the above prescribed listing.

This is actually a short time event as bases are close together. It is advised to slow down before topping a hill if you don't know whats on the other side. It's very possible you could get enough air time to roll your jeep. While the race within itself is timed, caution is still the key to finishing. Practice the course for knowledge.

After some discussion among the regulars, starting this month, we will be dropping the Gold and Silver Teams.  Individuals will be the format on that minor change.

Also, the one life event will be changed to unlimited lives and Fields Open for entire event.  This will be reflected in the Arena Message.

Other items have been discussed and news on that will be in the future.  This is due to trying something new and tweaking this for players to have fun.

At the time of this post, we are 24 hours from start of the event.

Look under Snapshot for May TTT: Jeep Race.

Due to some arena settings, the Jeep's .50 cal did more damage than a bomber wing.

Looking forward to attending a few of these. Even practiced offline for one but was having too much fun to leave the other arena.

You're welcome to attend. 

Next Jeep Race will have bridges to drive through from one side of a river to the other side.  It will help to practice offline or custom arena with an aircraft to see the race route and know where to head for.

Thursday May 9th will be the Base capture event with C-47s using the Mesaview terrain.
