Well, first "we'll" appreciate your experience putting on off-road competitions, as comps in WA are lacking for multiple reasons, even though (promoted correctly) there is a fairly decent crowd out there willing, able and wanting to beat on their rigs. I hope you can get involved with some of the already established events and help expand and/or improve them.
That being said, back to the topic of your thread, there is really TWO questions you're asking:
Yes, that last part IS important as WA trails are under fire and tight scrutiny, we are barely holding on to what we still have and loosing ground WAY faster than we will ever get it back. And even though actual "damage" may be minimal, 'perceived damage' is what the opposition is tuned into and harder to fight.
There are very few "legal" places to wheel in Washington State, and even less "Hard Core" trails, trail systems or areas. There are lots of "fun" places to wheel, that each have their own challenges. And they pretty much have already been talked about in this thread. The 'secret squirrel' wheeling places are NOT going to be talked about in an open forum. We've learned our lesson on those, which is part of the reason many of our old favorite areas are long gone.
