We'll have the blazerbash.com website up and running this year, just not yet though.

Because of the permit fees, there will be a registration fee but don't know how much yet.

I do need some volunteers for trail leaders, so if you are interested in leading a trail listed shoot me a PM. Trail leaders won't need to pay for registration and I have a couple of other goodies planned. :D

See you all in September! :saweet:
 
I'll do anything I can to help. Set up, registration, whatever, I just don't know the way around the trails.
 
This is a new permit issued by the BLM.
Most likely, they're going to come check us out.:D

We need everyone's eyes and ears, and help, to make sure we'll be on our best behavior. No vehicle leaks, catch pans available for cases of breakage, staying on the trails, no playing on closed spots, no stepping on the cryptobiotic crust, unstacking of helper rocks... all the good stuff.

Yes, and every trail leader will carry a copy of the permit. So if anyone is approached on the trail, refer them to the trail leader.
 
WE need some Flags or something like that BB09 to put on our rigs. When do we start the thred about what trails we are running. And if this is it then Sign me up and tell me how much asap. lol

We'll have registration set up through the blazerbash.com website as the event draws near. Still have to get all the costs nailed before we know how much. Plus we're going to work on getting some sponsorship money to offset some of the costs to keep the registration fee down as much as possible.
 
Personally I'd bet on $2.50/gal. Still much better than a few months ago.

Oh yeah, the flag idea is intriguing as well. :thinking:

Flags on the trucks for the official runs that are on the permit.

No flags on the trucks if peeps go out on their own?
