"The Death Valley Express" Monster Energy Outlaw Raptor Expedition.
When:
Nov 5th and 6th. Start day will be the 5th. 8:00am Barstow CA
The Mission:
For those of you who know me by now, there is nothing I love more then
planning these trips and meeting all of you guys on the run. The "Death
Valley Express" has been a true test of our logistics. Some of the trails
will be a far reach for our chase truck. Therefore, extensive planning on
breakdown recovery and emergency services had to be thoroughly planned out.
After getting everything pieced together, I think we have successfully
planned a new run that will take your breath away!
On the pre-run (which consisted of 26 hours with no sleep and over 900 miles
of driving continuously) we were awestricken with the sights and different
types of terrain we were driving through. This was a good change for us as
this entire trail was new to the Raptor Run.
In a land that temperatures reach 130 + degrees and a variety of different
types of terrain, you must be ready for anything. The trails we will cover
will consist of high speed driving right down to intermediate rock crawling
sections. We will cover about 240 miles on the first day and end up in the
middle of Death Valley at a pre-reserved hotel. Day 2 we will transition
over the east and run with open roads towards Las Vegas. The last 80 miles
of day 2 will put your Raptor and driving ability to the test as we will run
the "Dragonback". Don't worry, the dragon's back will not damage your truck
if you drive sensibly. For those of you who want to test your aftermarket
suspension upgrades, here is your chance.
S.E.M.A.: Once in Las vegas you can choose to attend SEMA that following
week or go home.
Support:
The MXT Chase truck "Godzilla" will chase as close to us as possible but due
to terrain challenges the chase truck will not be able to come on the trail.
The Terrain:
High speeds, rocks, washes, etc. You WILL use 4wd Lo on this trip!
The Weather: 75-85 degrees
Driving Ability: Some off road experience necessary!
Truck Mods:
Anything from stock Raptors to heavily modified Raptors are welcome.
