That was a super fun event when I did it a couple years ago. The airstrip portion and side road bits were totally different and exciting.

Heres my 2021 vid to see the area and side road portion Im referring too.

Thanks for sharing!

So are day 1 and 2 courses completely different or just ran in the opposite direction?

Same but backwards, with a slalom in place of the finish shoot

Well, they did use one small different section of the road course portion but it was meh, whatever (and still fun as ****)

It might depend on the extent of the damage and what ever makes the most sense. I'm feeling done with STU but I guess we'll see, and it's not really my decision ;-)

IIRC, they weren't planning to attend Solo Nats this year anyway. And that motor has provided miles of smiles.
