I'd like to officially announce the 3rd Annual ECXC which will be held at the Rausch Creek Racing 4x4 Park in Tremont, PA July 25-27th.

My brain is fried from working on the darn sight, so you can get all the info at www.ecxc.com

Sweet. Now I can start planning too!!!
Great work on the site and see you there.

I attended the NECXC last year and had a great time, I won't this year as it is too far.

You really should rename it to North East Xterra Challenge, because that is what it is.

Richard

Why would we do that ?
it is open for any Xterra out there
( we dont limit it to North East only )

(scared of rocks? )

Hey Mike, are other brands of vehicles welcome? Was thinking about bringing the XJ as it's much more modified than our X

Perhaps, but it's more fun dragging your butt through Good, Bad & Ugly with the X.

that's exactly why I want to bring the XJ! Bring on Good Bad Ugly!

Finally ECXC is on a weekend that I don't have to work. I am so there. Already signed up.

You may have signed up. But I paid already.

But you guys forget, we're not going back to Paragon this year. So no good, bad, or ugly.

Oh, and I paid already too.

Not necessarily. NJAX is setting up a weekend run the last weekend in April. You guys should come on down. Bring on GB&U!

Me and Aaron had talked about going down sometime this year. I'll talk to him and see if he wants to go. He really want to try the Heep out down there. He's put a lot of money into it and it kicks ass off road.

Last weekend in April. That sounds doable.

Sweetness. I'll keep you guys posted.

Why the $25 registration fee ?

Aaron,

Are you a member of MAXC? I know you use to be but I haven't seen you post recently. If so e-mail me at the e-mail address in my signature.

Ian,

The registration fee covers several things including 4x4 park fees, stickers, food & beverages (including Beer, Soda and Bottled Water) for our Saturday evening blowout, etc.

I have been looking at the website and I can't seem to find photos or descriptions of the trails. What part of the site leads me in that direction?

Money well spent

Ian,

Why don't you come this year?

I would love to meet the legend himself.

From the website

"The difficulty level of trails vary from 2WD & 4WD access roads to extreme, hardcore, you will probably roll your truck if you're not careful trails. Several trails will accommodate all level of riders with bypasses for more difficult obstacles."

I believe the the location for the run will be at a brand new park and the trails will probably get defined as time goes on.

MVM

Yes, Ian, why don't you come and enjoy the east coast???

I don't know how well he would react to the lower altitude.

I would have superhuman strength

The end of July may work, we'll have to see.

Hell Ya, Ian, come out East and let someone host you for a change and show you a good time.

MVM

Someone grab the kryptonite!

Done

The park is brand new, not even opened yet (park's grand opening is the weekend of April 5th). I have a couple photos of the trails, but nothing that would really show you what it is like. The terrain is similar to Paragon. You can visit www.rauschcreekracing.com, check out the 4x4 park info and look for a write up about the October Open Run. There's a decent right up about the park's first run with a few pictures.

I just saw that ECXC is in Tremont, PA this year. I grew up about 12 miles from there. Tremont, as a town, leaves a little to be desired. But, the area is very condusive to off roading. I may have to check it out. How do I register? I only have my X for about a month and have yet to put in 4 WD. So I'm looking forward to doing some off raoding, but nothing to severe, as my X has only stock equipment.

Hey bstakes21,

You will find the answers to your questions here: www.ecxc.com

Hope to see you there!!

Miikkaa

Thanks for the info...
