Did the loop today. First time in there for around 4 or so years.
Had a blast and the buggys performed at top class level all day.

Photos to follow all going well

Yes the big boulders have gone.
Still a shit load of big rock in there and it realy throws the truck around into the banks etc. But as said the big ass rock aint there no more.
Will defernitly make it easier when going clock wise.
Some of those holes up top are getting very deep as well
