Which makes it even worse that the enviro-wackos moved all the course markers in an attempt to direct the riders to where the tortoises were.
Just to make the motorcyclists who pay to ride out there look bad.
The CDCA (California desert conservation area) consisted at the time of 25 million acres. The race as laid out was to use 2000 acres along a 110 mile path. That's a pretty darned small footprint tor 110 miles. That is until sierra club got involved and redesigned the course, their actions probably increased it to 100,000 acres or more and endangered the lives of riders. If they got hurt or broke down out in an area they were not supposed to be there would not be any support services. That could have resulted in a large scale search and rescue which would have impacted the dirt and tumbleweeds even more than the original race. Not to mention people could have died.
