15 or so years ago I had a blast at those then it became all about teenagers getting drunk and fighting and a wet t shirt contest with ladies who'd look better in parkas. Wonder what it's like these days?

No more wet tee shirt contest. They stopped that quickly.

We went basically every year from 2007ish-2013ish but I quit going for awhile after it turned into the drunk teenagers fighting crowd. Went back in 2020 and it was just like the old days of a medium crowd watching some cone dodging.

That sounds like a fun day. I always wish that place (Kizzars/Dayton) would be open sometime for rec wheeling.

I know they have Sportsman and Trail Rig classes but I’m not interested in competing.

I knew Kenny (Kizzar) in the early days before he sold the junkyard and the first few years he'd let us try and take our junk up the hills. I'm guessing the liability of some idiot suing made short work of that.

Makes sense on the risk vs reward.

Oh yeah...Forgot about the lack of a tunnel to go straight through the mountain.

 

[socsmm6!]

Any good hotels to stay at fairly close to the event? Places to stay clear of?

Couple of years ago we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Dayton. Was a nice hotel about 20-30 minutes away from the event.

Decade ago we stayed at one of the local motels, and it was as expected but good enough for a single overnight stay.
