This year’s LBJ hare scramble will be held in Laurens SC on private land that has never been raced on before. We’ve got a little over 7 miles of virgin trail. We’ve heard rumors that the course is tight. There won’t likely be any high speed 4th or 5th gear crashes to worry about, but We’ve ridden the entire trail (except for one short but steep hill section) with the club’s 550cc, 800lb, 4 foot wide, top-heavy, unstable behemoth of an ATV. We’ve even cut trail with some skidsteers equipped with “turn anything short of a Giant Sequoia into mulch” attachments to ensure passing opportunities. The trail has a loop within a loop layout that should make for a better than average spectator experience.

Parking WILL be tight. So park “cozy” when you get here. We’ve got overflow parking arrangements should the turnout be high. If you are on the fence about deciding whether to bring a Semi truck size RV, this might be a good race to just bring the pickup and patronize a local motel.

The weather forecast is perfect. Race calendar competition is light. We’re looking for a good turnout. Hope to see you there.
