America loaded up their vans en masse yesterday morning and made the trip.

I'm glad that powertools are the prize. That's a good tongue-in-cheek move. I am more interested in the yet-to-be-annouced-but-someone-has-to-talking-about-it Unlimited Class a.k.a. Group B MTB. That's where things will get exciting..
