Took the 93 ARC to Mammoth for the weekend and ran the Kamikaze course. Woo-wee those Manitou 2s are crap and Grafton brakes are not much better. Back home in one piece and only a couple scrapes and bruises to show for it. What a blast!!!

That's rad! I did have very vague plans to do something similar for my 40th until I realized Mammoth would be closed at that time. For future reference, is the Kamikaze course clearly marked or is it just a random fireroad these days, with just the 'modern' trails marked?
