Hello Truman, The 88 WEC Trail was a modified
Trail for that particular day and it added some Trail not used by the OD
before. The course itself was not as rugged as 'normal' OD trails, but was
still a testimony to the ruggedness of the region, and was worthy of a WEC
course. It was not an easy trail, but easily managed.
In todays WEC Trails, it has been designed to
be a Flat Track Trail, which a Robot could travel. It has taken out the
natural terrain and allowed these fast times and low completitions to become the
norm. It is the main reason my interest in WEC's have become to
me....WrEC's.
So, if the USA wants to rise from this last
'ass-whuppin', it should work towards making the WEC Trail an Endurance Trai,l
and not a Race Track 'Trail'. Just my humble opinion.
