STAGE 11 TRACKING

STAGE 11: ANTOFAGASTA > EL SALVADOR

Connection 144km | Special Stage 605km | Total 749km

COURSE OVERVIEW

In addition to the distance, here the competitors will be put to the test by all the difficulties offered by the Atacama Desert… and will have to display all the qualities required for off-road races. After the mine tracks and the many rivers to cross, the competitors will have to distinguish themselves in the heart of the Dunes of Copiapo: the fastest motorcyclists are expected to spend seven hours behind the wheel. Needless to say that on this decisive day there will be no shortage of opportunities for competitors to make a winning comeback in the race. This will be the key stage of the 2014 edition.

The GREEN section of the route is the connection , the RED is the Special Section of the stage.

Some of Robby best off road driving was after every one was done on the course and he would come by full blast after a long down time. To all the locals do not let your kids or drunk buddies on the course ;)

Like I said from the giddy-up you NEED dual stage filters WITH a water separator any time your out of the states...That's a given when you do a build...The only exception would be filter your fuel (externally) as you refill.

Although if the fuel is just plain shit and won't burn all the filters in the world won't help.

Cummins has a real nice one with a screw off top for filter replacement and a petcock on the bottom
for water drain - doesn't weigh hardly anything too.
