Post by: AMC on October 19, 2011, 05:33:49 AM
Yes.....the property is wet now (which means PLENTY of mud) but it's looking like we dodged a bullet with this current weather system, with the coming of much cooler temps, breezy days and low humidity, the property should dry up nicely.

Registrations are pouring in, so It seems everyone is ready for some Pumpkin Run FUN.

We have arrowed out about half the trail last weekend, and this year is going to be AWSOME. We also had one of our club members with a side x side with us the whole time to ensure there will be plenty of room for you guys and gals with the bigger machines.

*another FREE pass opportunity will be coming soon, along with photos from last weekend*

Had a good time running the trails, didn't break anything but had a tire that wouldn't hold air so I didn't run at night. My son had a great time at his first big mud event.
