THE FAN FAVORITE: THE OBSTACLE COURSE
Like most of us Jeepers we like to take our
Jeeps over the nasty stuff but sometimes we
enjoy sitting back and watching some of the
crazies take their Jeeps over the rocks.
The sound of metal scraping over jagged rocks is
even more pleasant when is on someone elses
Jeep.
The
PA Jeeps have an obstacle course set up for all
the show participants to test out and play with
their Jeeps. The course consists of
several dirt mounts simulating all kinds of
varying terrain. Terrain like off camber
trails, articulation humps, and hill climbs.
There is also a log bridge to cross and a nasty
rock pile.
The
rock pile is usually the spectator favorite.
About 100 feet of large boulders loosely
arranged make for a difficult and ever changing
challenge to most Jeeps. There is the
usual carnage and breakage that keeps the crowd
cheering.
With
so many Jeeps at the show the line to get onto
the course stretched nearly all the way around
the fairgrounds. The wait provided many
opportunities to talk to others about their
Jeeps.
