i emailed Grant about how much more softer Watkins is compared to Pueblo...and this is what he says...and then some..
"It's actually the smoothest event in the series. The
dirt is mostly hardpack with little to no big rocks
like in Pueblo. There can sometimes get a few ruts
but we try to keep an eye out for them developing and
adjust/fill as needed. The first event at Watkins was
won overall by a WRX on Falken Azenis
(autocross/street tire) if that gives you any idea of
the surface. I heard your Focus had some new decals.
I really liked your car at Pueblo. I was telling my
friends Brian and Erika that they need to get a set of
tail lights like yours for the Focus rally car they're
building."
