I'm in. I'll bring lots of questions too.

Might be good to post up any questions prior so we can add them to the agenda for everyone in all groups to hear...
I was halfway being facetious.

I don't personally have any off the top of my head. I'm just interested to learn what everyone has to say, especially in the drivers course about picking lines.

Picking lines can be learned, but some folks get it a lot faster than others.  The ability to picture the vehicles wheelbase and width and belly clearance, moving over the rocks, step by step...  Wheel the tires on the high spots as much as possible. 

I find it much easier to spot than to try and remember what I saw that is now under my rig lol.  Need a few cameras under.

Pending no issues with work, I'm in for sure. At this point 90%.

I've started seeing things differently after watching some of the older guys spotting others, but it's always fun to come listen and hear what everyone else has to say. I don't feel like I've ever had a problem with picking the wrong line but just things I like to learn.

Not that this is related to this event in any way, but I have the two air bags out of my 98 parts XJ and haven't been able to sell them... Any interest in blowing them up for this event? Never now when you'll encounter an airbag on the trail.
