The official KOH week watch party thread.

I was a navigator and we stopped and had a discussion at all the places shown on those screen shots.

The blue line by outer limits was for the stock class, all the other classes made a hard left but the dirt ruts made it look like the blue line was correct.

Same with the 90 degree turns in the desert sections, the dug in ruts cut it short outside of the VCP 75? foot distance limit. So you had to drive out of the main ruts to hit it.

Sounds about right for course markings (or lack there of).

The interesting part about this is that Kevin Jones doesn't really strike me as that type that would purposely try to cheat- he seems to be more in it for the funny and the experience than doing anything he can to land in first place. At that point if you've got people TRYING to follow the course and failing, then maybe there might be a problem.

Yeah, you pretty much hit the nail on the head, Kevin is a cool dude that's there to have fun and the overall experience. I've never known him to cut corners or anything like that.
