Paul you aren't gonna build us up and leave us hanging? Don't blame Maria either...everyone wants to ride this weekend...Richard was first to request Saturday afternoon so I think if possible you should honor that. You even offered a video to further entice us. Come on Paul...Saturday afternoon?
Yeah sure is, but I also did it without A-Trac. Momentum and non-mud tires was a bigger key to get up these hills.
You said it, Paul. Nice vid. For the most part ATrac is the anti-Christ of good traction in deep sand. That, and deeply lugged mud-terrain tires because they tend to grab, dig, and remove the very sand that you are trying to 'float' on top of. Combine the two and you have a vehicle that is working WAY harder for the same return in distance traveled. It's rock and packed surfaces that ATrac is in it's element. And boy does it SHINE then.

Is anyone going to ask why it's called "Shotgun Sands"?
Because peole were shooting at us with shotguns!!!!!
Just Kidding! Near the Clay Section there were a lot of shotgun shell casings all over.

I think we went at this before didn't we.... lol
I disagree that A-Trac is the Anti-Christ in sand! And I disagree that using A-Trac slows the FJC down, or makes it work harder in deep sand.
I usually use A-Trac when first climbing a sandy hill and only go without using it just for fun!
