I don't think they're bluffing. That race is blowing up. The only reason it didn't sell out sooner this year was that the state tourism board, realizing that people from all over the country come to Utah to run this thing, stepped in with a promise of help with permits and road closures in exchange for Ragnar letting everyone who signed up by March 31st into the race. If not for that, my team this year would not have gotten in.
