BITD VEGAS2RENO Obstacle

our LVDC class 1s squeeze through with the tires rubbing on all 4 corners. they say you can feel the car climbing up the wall.

Yikes, that is classic.
As far as going thru sideways, no way, it's too long (length = wide 2-lane road with shoulders and dirt slope).
And it is south of Goldfield.

The underpass I'm thinking of is south of Goldfield, where the course crosses under Hiway 95. It is before the Highway goes up through Goldfield Pass.... I'll have to get my notes out tonight for exact mileposts... YES it is NARROW and SHORT !

That is probably the one. I do not think it was used last year, I think the course stayed on the west side of the highway all the way up to Tonopah, I would have to check last years map. We only made it 114 miles last year, and the year before the race started in Alamo and the course never went through that area. I now there is one between Tonopah and Hawthorne that I went through in 2006, but that one was pretty big. Of course I was on a quad, not a wide truck!

Is there a way around for at least the pre run? My car is exactly 8 ft wide. If not I may have to bring a narrow spare.

I remember looking for one, and I don't think there is !

Right before the underpass you are on a "main" road, then turn off into the wash that goes under the hwy, if you were to stay on the main road you would come out on the hwy less than a 1/4 mile north. You could then head south on the hwy and drop off the side of the road back into the wash. I would not recommend this during the race however.

I am sure it would be ok if you were really, really, quiet and sneaky

[reverhart]

this is going to be tight, just measured the truck, and we are exactly 8ft wide---

gotta remember vaseline

[empty pockets]

Not good, I am more worried about the height, if there is a 4" whatever in the way we are gonna have a big ole dent in the top of the truck

Hey get two big jars of vaseline and smear it on the sides of the truck right before you get there,,,,,,,, it might make it slip through
