Yep. It's really stupid. If your a resident you have to make an appointment with DMV and go through an inspection and depending on what they find you get a green sticker or a red sticker. Green sticker your good to go, red sticker you only allowed to run your vehicle certain times of the year and in certain areas. Or you can go on line and purchase a non-resident off road registration, no inspections and no red or green stickers.

Jackhammer was the bottle neck at koh this year wasn't it? If so, it's got some good size rocks. Wish I could go play.

Just go hit it. Listening to the broadcast from koh, if you can drive it's not a problem. Fast guys made it through there but it's not a trail of speed but just crawling.

No issues on this run. Adjusting my timing seems to have taken care of the over heating issues.
