actually.... i don't think it's a matter of you "should" do furnace creek or some other long ride... don't you HAVE to do one (or more) as a qualifier? i believe you can't just say "i'm gonna do RAAM" and go.... you have to do a certain... or certain rides prior too.... so deciding for 2007 at this late date is probably noe feasible! (i.e. tinker did furnace creek 508 last year as a qualifier.... i also think i remember the guys talking about him doing other rides... but not sure!)
also.... EVERYTHING that i've read... suggest working on the crew before you even attempt to ride either the furnace creek or RAAM... apparently it's quite the learning experience!
here's the link from RAAM's site about qualifiers
