No, at first I thought the same thing that’s cheating. So I went looking for more info while I was there. It has to be looked to two ways. One how do we bring people to see it and two how do we keep it challenging. So first on the background. There where 4 pours which one was a two part course so they’re where 5 courses at any given time. Now the difficulty of the each course would change depending one where the cones where set. Trust me this was very, very planned out. They where made for at lest 4 events over two years and then planed to be destroyed. There isn’t as much traction as you think over the whole course. There where holes in some that where filled with real dirt and rocks and some with water so it could get slick. Also after a tire spun over a cretin spot a few time is was just as bad as any slick rock I have ever seen. So they have to keep it close to town so people will show up for it and be tuff enough that it is challenging to drive and fun to watch. This is where a lot of the money go to keep it going. Throw out the W.E. Rock season most of the courses are on real trails so it also helps balance out the scoring.
