it's really cool racing at night. i've raced the baja 1000 at night (157 miles) here's what the problems are going to be having a hare scrambles type desert race at night:

dust is a HUGE problem at night, in baja, a truck might pass you, but then it's gone......you may not see another vehicle for 20 miles or more, in a hare scrambles you'll be in dust all the time.

another problem is the multiple trails that are in the desert here. in baja, there are very few trails....and they are miles apart, you don't need many course markings there. if you miss a turn in the desert here at night......you might not ever be able to find the trail you were on until you see another rider.

other than that, it should be cool!!! i hope no one gets hurt....it's going to be almost impossible for the rescue service to get to a downed rider.

i hope they don't put any uphills in the race......they are nasty at night

kick butt, and have a great time!!!
