We want have snipers hunting you down, but we have seen camouflaged troops appear from nowhere. While this is not the shortest drive it is a fun good course with climbs and fun descents. This venue has been known to be windy and chilly (yea, even in AZ). This race is also worth 1.5x the points, to help entice you south.
NOTE - this is a MILITARY BASE. You will be required to have valid ID, valid vehicle insurance to enter the the Fort.
