The Dirtfish courses are well maintained with their on-side graders (or whatever they are called) regularly (probably daily), so they are much more likely to be flat - I don't remember any significant potholes. To do this, they use some really abrasive gravel, which kills tires, gets into brake...
Karting on a slick surface really helps practice weight transfer / power sliding and gets you comfortable looking sideways. Unfortunately, my local track closed.
For people thinking about this, I'd offer a few suggestions. Get some sort of track tape installed if you can - that surface is especially abrasive. When I was there, they mentioned that each car goes through a set of tires every 2-3 days (@$800 or so per set), which is why you are paying >$1000...
Did the 3-day RWD class in a Subaru BRZ 10 years ago - most fun I've ever had in a car. Would be awesome to take my Wildtrak there. They would definitely need to do more course maintenance afterward simply due to the tire size (~205 vs. 315) and torque.
I have an extender + Kuat swing arm (which swings more than 90 degrees if needed) + 1UP, but i have the swing to the right (away from the road if you unload in traffic). This also allows wider access to the rear (I have a slide-out tray that wouldn't allow left-side access with a left swing)...
Yes, it does.
As for manual transmission, I don't know. I can say it's about 4.25" from the top right edge of my gear selector to the left edge of the circle mount, so likely about 3+ inches with a phone attached (portrait). If there was interference, it would be only when the stick is in the...
If you wanted a backup against detaching during an accident and/or a moderate anti-theft deterrent, you could run a Hiplok Z LOK thru the top carrying handle around the roll bar. It's basically a reusable/lockable zip tie with a steel core.
Best phone mount I've had for any car. Also have their tailgate fire extinguisher - the best extinguisher I've had also. Nice stuff, not the cheapest.

Have this plus their cam-lock quick release - not for the roll bar and not cheap, but very secure and quiet. I have other under-seat extinguishers for other cars (the typical thin aluminum, which is where the rattles come from) and this is much nicer with the cam lock which is silent next to the...
If you are going to do it, do plenty of research of why and what you want to accomplish. For me, I was never going to use them and wanted a slide-out flat tray that was flexible for multiple uses. I didn't want to lean in and I wanted equal access to both what was stored near the rear and what...
Semi-related: what do people use to remove/mitigate them or similar ones you seem to get when someone gets too close with a shopping cart / bike handlebars / etc.
I've only been to LV - my thoughts.
LV should be the easiest to to fly into - it's a major hub for Southwest.
LV would definitely have the most non-offroad activities, especially if you stay on The Strip. Football, hockey, concerts, F1, shopping are all within walking distance. If you go, stay...
I went last year - there were two groups of seven, with only one 2-door in each group. Ask/beg your instructor early on (even before you think they are going to split you up). My excuse/rationale was to say I DD a '19 Miata (154" long) and a '15 M235i (175", or slightly longer than a 2-door)...
Maybe you can ask the moderators to rotate your picture 90 degrees counterclockwise - problem solved!
For those who haven't been, yes you spend 90% of the day at less than 5mph (it seems). Yes, you get instruction for each type of obstacle, but there is a considerable amount of time doing...
Per the site:
When finalizing your reservation, you may also select an optional $75 vehicle damage waiver that will limit your financial responsibility to $3,500 if any vehicle damage is incurred during the event.
So if you roll/total the Bronco with insurance, you are only out $75 + $3,500...
