For carpooling Elite riders and open riders could carpool together and drop open riders off at this half way point on their way out to point Clark.
If a participant/competitor is running behind and can’t make the drop points they would have to go straight to the race start points check in and they would be responsible for finding there own way back to their vehicles after the race.
