Absolutely Steve, someone has to do the "man's line" on Whale Rock. Last year it was two pairs of pants, this year it might be two pairs of drawers. 
A cursory head count could dicate trail selection. If the event is mostly weekend, it could be ugly taking big crews on popular trails.
For the people whose rigs have matured to the "next level" the lack of a venue change is of no consequence. Rerunning the stocker stuff could be super boring for some. Rerunning moderate and tough stuff is less so because there are still lines to try, etc. Iron Chest would be a half day trip if it is still paved. Last year we only had 4 rigs and we took a lot of time for my tranny to cool, to eat and to BS and still got up and back with tons of time to spare. It would only be faster if it is paved.
Proximity is key on a lot of this. It would be a bum deal to get out a long way and spend from 8 to 8 miserably on the trail.
I also want to eat supper in Leadville this time, just as an aside.

Then I'll have an opportunity to really test the Green Thing. Most people on the road don't know what it is anymore....

) So, no hard wheeling for now. Unless I decide to keep the Z. We'll see. Thanks for the offer though.

You guys will do just fine without any direction or you'll get a dent. Either way you'll learn something.
I doubt I'll make this, it's too short for the long drive.

I have been a Burrito defender for a long time. The yelling at me was directly correlated on a bad spot. I was not reprimanded for other driving.
Come to CO4RJ, it will be a hoot. Utah will be fun and will be later, but will have to be smaller.
Mike, I got your message, I will ring you tommorrow. I thought I e-mailed confirming all that you mentioned.
On a side note, Jayson has my top and I will be reunited with it in a couple days, YEAH!

I did with Caskey spotting, but at that point Brown had collected his ammo.
I donno, With Chevys and 35's the spanking will be severe, may be best to lay it down in Moab.
I can't wait to spank the crack.
On the other hand, quite a few Arizonans have made the journey to Colorado but only Yoder & Matt have wheeled here and Ziad got some awsome drive way action.
We have some incredible trails, what gives ???
