[racerrandy]

Randy

[RivBlueNoma]

[jwcustomwurks]

Are You Ready To Rock!?




http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee133/hawerlander/derhawerdoo.jpg



There's less than 2 weeks left before the
1st annual
"der Hawerlander Fest"

Get ready to run whatcha brung,
and lay the hammer down for some
head to head rock racing!!!

Track lay-out is coming along great,
and will change some from this conceptual drawing.
But this will give you some idea as to the basic track design. Many more obstacles will be included in the final lay-out.

http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/6/16613182487.jpg (http://www.putfile.com/pic/8299998)


The stage should be set for some
:twisted: full throttle carnage :twisted:
with obstacles galore, including jumps,
a cross-over table-top, water hazard and more!

We will be running multiple heats through out the day.
And hope to get everyone paired up with someone
else in the same bracket.
Everyone will make 1 lap per round, and then switch to the opposite lane in the 2nd round. Adding the 2 times together for a total qualifying time.

Once the heats are finished, we'll be shooting for semi-finals to determine the top 2 Racers that will make it to the Finals, with a heads up shoot-out determining the winner of the
1st Annual der Hawerlander Fest!

Be there!!!

I think the construction of the course and the food and beverages are being taken care of. But we're still looking for some guys to take care of possible video capture . I know some of you have laptops for downloading the video. And a few of you have some video cameras. There should be plenty of power hook-ups for charging and such.
Any volunteers?

[Freq E Tag]

I may be rig-less. If so, I'll shoot video. Just need to get some tapes.

Yee haw...

"thumbsup"

[RivBlueNoma]

My camera isnt good for action pics and even worse at video. But if someone else has a camera they want used, ill volunteer to take pics and video for the event.

Hey Neal, when can I pick up my transmission? I pm'd you, and tried calling the other day. Im in no rush but would like an idea of when. I may be rig-less. If so, I'll shoot video. Just need to get some tapes.

Yee haw...

"thumbsup"

[muddauber7]

Are you ready for some high flyin'
action!?

How's this !!!!?

http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/6/16720490688.jpg (http://www.putfile.com/pic/8306614)

Tabletop jump is finished.
If any one else has any ideas of some obstacles,
please feel free to bring them. If so, let us know,
so we can plan the course accordingly."thumbsup"

Alright, who all's gonna make it?!

[nishru]

i'm in & the kid is going to run too

[RivBlueNoma]

Nice nice. :shock::shock: Is that just tylers 35t warrior and his 3s pack that he normally runs?

Count me in to race, probably need to be in the slower division. :lol:


http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/6/16720490683.jpg (http://www.putfile.com/pic/8306615)

[Hurley0706]

I'm in!

Looks like the VXL is too big to fit in my chassis. Maybe I will find a good 27t and try out the 4s :twisted:

[muddauber7]

RivBlueNomaIs that just tylers 35t warrior and his 3s pack that he normally runs?Nope, that's mine, except a 21t pinion with the 87t spur, 35t and 3s. Might try a smaller spur yet, not sure.
Swapped out to the lighter proline wheels with the Moabs as well.
It's faster, but by no means fast still.
I took the jump back apart to get a little more vert. Because I know most everyone won't be all that fast either. But I still wanted us to be able to catch some air!

Harley0706
What!? No brushless? I guess the 4s will have to do. :lol:

Need some more ideas for jumps. Any suggestions or pics? I thought about making one with a gap like at the XRRA race. Kinda like a step-up. Other than that, might just do a couple more regular type of jumps, 8" high or so.
What's up SCG? Your a builder. Surely you've got some ideas."thumbsup"

By the way, Captain Carnage struck again! He broke the RS4 rally (alright, maybe that was me:lol:)and a stock built TLT. Then proceeded to break part of his stretched Pede :roll::lol:.
Ramp specs:
Clearance is 14" under the table-top, 30" wide (both top and thru), 16" high total. Just under 8' long.

[RivBlueNoma]

Ah, my bad. Didnt see the purple wheels so I assumed it was Tylers. I like the flight. Dunno if my 16.5C 3s can handle that kinda amp draw for that long. :lol:

[iconpoker]

Matt that jump looks sick... nice job"thumbsup" My speed bump track is going to be a hand full at speed. I will try to get a pic up this week before I leave. can't wait looks like the course is going to be fun.

[racerrandy]

Count me in, I think my better half and the kids are coming too.

I think I am going to try a stocker on 2 cell and see what happens.

Later,Randy

[ZORLAC]

:lol: 35 turn :lol:
you better bring MORE than that!!!
or
your go-in to get

[dezfan]

Pfffffffftttttt!:roll:

You ladies better hope the CMRCRC boys don't come! :twisted:

We'll be bringing the guru of high powered electronics w/ us!:lol:

[RivBlueNoma]

Well we may have a few surprises up our sleeves too. :lol:

[ZORLAC]

you sure you remember how to "get here" ??

[dezfan]

you sure you remember how to "get here" ??

Head toward California, stop at the place w/ good BBQ !:twisted:

[nishru]

hey Matt (either one) how much of a water hazard is there going to be?

[iconpoker]

hey Matt (either one) how much of a water hazard is there going to be?

splash proof will be enough ,it will be about axle deep.

[aaron_ax10]

maybe ill use a 13t motor 33pinion/78spur and a 11.1v 2100MaH lipo and see how much air we can get from your ramp

[RivBlueNoma]

maybe ill use a 13t motor 33pinion/78spur and a 11.1v 2100MaH lipo and see how much air we can get from your ramp

Hope your not running the stock axial green diff lockers :shock:

[aaron_ax10]

ya im still using the green diff locks maybe if i tear them out it gives me an exsuse to buy new ones

[muddauber jr]

Now who has 4ws?

Aarons got the idea.

Everyone with a stock ax10 could maybe put
their (a) stock 27t motor in your rig and gear up with
a big'r pinion on your motor.

Hey Jerry/Neal i was wondering if u got any extra badlands that i can borrow?
with no weights.

[aaron_ax10]

since the rock race isnt till the 28th does any one want to get together this weekend and do some crawlin?

[jwcustomwurks]

I am waiting on the last piece to complete my rig(other than a VF dig) then I will bring the thunder...THUNDERHORSE that is:lol::roll:...I hope to be able to have a rig together for this.

:-P

[muddauber7]

Wow! That thing looks fast with that big 'ole wing on there!
Your sure to win :lol:

[Hurley0706]

Doesn't look like I am going to make it now guys :-(

A work crisis came up and I am going to have to work through the weekend.

This sucks......

[muddauber7]

Damn, that does suck!
Oh well, I'll just have to kick your ass at the next comp :lol:

[iconpoker]

This sucks...... Man that does suck. I hope it can be resolved without you having to work this weekend.

[jwcustomwurks]

Well crap. I may have to work a "mandatory" saturday as well. Hopefully not.

[scaryclownguy]

It sucks you guys have to work.

[nishru]

yah work sucks but since i cant get paid for R\C, video games, or sex gotta do it

[jwcustomwurks]

You listed my three dream jobs"thumbsup"

[scaryclownguy]

I charge Kelly for sex. How do you think I got that dx3r?

[RivBlueNoma]

You listed my three dream jobs"thumbsup"


If Ron Jeramy can do the 3rd one, I think any of us got a shot at making some good money.

:lol:

Wheres the pics Jerry?
Heres what mine looked like a week ago. Some thing have changed. Anyone believe none of the LHS stock WK knuckles? Got some alum on order from TCS but they may not arrive in time. Cant for the life of me figure out WHERE to stuff the lipo. It no fit much good. :shock:

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u162/rivbluenoma/DSCF1241.jpg

[scaryclownguy]

I'm shocked

[RivBlueNoma]

I'm shocked
Yeah, you and everyone else. :ror:
Guess its not a revo or a jato so nobody needs to carry parts for when it hits a tree doing 70. :roll::lol:

[jwcustomwurks]

Yeah, you and everyone else. :ror:
Guess its not a revo or a jato so nobody needs to carry parts for when it hits a tree doing 70. :roll::lol:

You're right. It seems that if you don't have traxxas you don't have parts available locally. TCS has lightning fast shipping though.

[Freq E Tag]

Map to the Shin-Dig....

Nall is under construction so you have to do a bit o' the ole jog and shute...

Basically at 151st and Nall or just south of there. He's a rich JoCo Bastard.

15419 Maple. Beige House (Eggshell or Victorian Foo Foo White for you fellow JoCo sissies) Look for a sign or two if Jerry has anything to say about it.. :)

[racerrandy]

Yeah, you and everyone else. :ror:
Guess its not a revo or a jato so nobody needs to carry parts for when it hits a tree doing 70. :roll::lol:


And......since they don't have it in stock, you have to prepay and make another trip up to pick it up. At current gas prices it makes it impossible to buy from them. I have bought most of my stuff from hobbytown and they give me online prices. But I can't spend an extra 20 bucks on gas just to buy from them. I guess I am going to have to go online only.


Randy

[scaryclownguy]

And they look at you all crazy when you ask about them putting it on the shelves.

[nishru]

Gotta build a rig for this, I broke my other one already. High voltage, low turn, lots of power me thinks :D

gonna bring product with ya? always looking to spend *cough* her *cough* money :)

[jwcustomwurks]

gonna bring product with ya? always looking to spend *cough* her *cough* money :)

good idea"thumbsup" This sucks I'm not going to be there. I was getting all excited about launching my rig off that tabletop. Guess I'll run a pack or two with the Lightspeed 16T double here before I slap the lathe back in:-(

Randy

Its only a 10 mile drive from my house, but still talking about $4 a round trip and it requires how many trips because they never remember to order it until they have missed the cut off for that week?
I figured their price for stock knuckles was $14(damn, guess HPI is related to Axial??), TCS aluminum versions were $18 and shippings about $4. Why not upgrade for $4 and shop from home? :D

[nishru]

rain all day today & tonight. sunny & 84 on saturday i bet that ramp is gonna be slick can't wait to see Tyler launch off the top sideways :) his rig will spin twice & keep going ( dragging parts behind it ) long live CAPTAIN CARNAGE

You said it that thing is fast. If he can keep it on the course we are toast.

[muddauber7]

Alright guys...
T-minus 24 Hrs and counting...

Are you ready?!

The course is shaping up nicely, and should proof to be quite challenging.
Most everything is laid out, and ready to rock!
Jerry should be out there tonite to help Matt H. put on the finishing touches.


The focus for this event is
FUN !!!
But running the Rock Races will have to be somewhat organized.
So...

____________________________
Gates open at 10:00


Track will be open for practice and
Hot Laps from 10:00 - 12:00

After separating everyone into groups, each group will run course 1 or 2. Then when both groups finish, we'll switch to the other lane and add the 2 times together for your qualifying time. Just like we do at our comps now since we've had such a turnout at most of our '08 events. "thumbsup"

Your qualifying time will determine your competitor #,
which will be used for the raffle after the finals, and to set us up in the heats.
I got a couple of giveaways for the event from Hobby Haven and Fastlane Raceway "thumbsup". Along with everyone's discount cards for Hobby Haven, that gave me they're info for them. If you have not, I'll get your info the day of the event.

We'll be running 2 competitors at a time and you'll be competing against the clock. Out of bounds will not be in play except for where the obstacles are located on the course. Which will be clearly marked by flags and ribbon, dividing each lane. If you do go out of bounds on an odd-stacle :lol:, the turn marshal's will then place you back at the start of that obstacle to make another go at it.
Course length is approx. 45secs. - 1 min., pending on the speed of your rig.

Qualifying starts at 12:00,
we'll do lunch at that time as well.
(So don't forget something to throw on the grill,
keg's already on ice :lol:)

Qualifying will help to pair up folks with similar times, and will set us up for the first round of heats.

We'll run 3 rounds of heats, allowing you to keep your
best 2 out of 3.

Pending on the turnout, we'll then start the semi-finals.
(probably the top 4 or 6 competitors)

That will lead us to a Finals
between the top 2 competitors for a feature event of the entire course. Running both courses back to back to determine the winner!


Hoping for a big turnout, and maybe even a few out-of-towners.

So gear up, hammer down,
and we'll see YOU at...

"Der Hawerlander Fest"

[jwcustomwurks]

man if I didn't need this job:-(

[Hurley0706]

I am still up in the air, I got a lot done today and my due date got pushed back to the end of the week.

Where is the damn "fingers crossed" smiley :?:

[muddauber jr]

:smile: his rig will spin twice & keep going ( dragging parts behind it ) long live CAPTAIN CARNAGEHA HA HA your funny Nishru. The reason I keep breaking is one of my yoke pin kept slidin' out.
Plus I'm still running tlt's.

45secs. - 1 min., pending on the speed of your rig. Ha more like 15secs.

Jeez Josh, it seems you need to flip a coin.

I've also got something up my sleeve. :?: :twisted:


hey Jerry try bringing some 18's out.

were also bringing the CR-01.

[RivBlueNoma]

Looks like rock racing could get expensive real quick. Had mine running for about 5 minutes and smoked the 27 turn (oops, guess gearing was a little off) and killed the gears in my 645. :shock::lol:

It was pretty sweet watching it carry the right front tire the whole way down the carpet."thumbsup"

[muddauber7]

It's on like Donkey Kong!

Bring It !

[Hurley0706]

My big list of thanks you's:

Let me be the first to post a big THANK YOU to Matt. It was a great time and I hope we didn't tear up your yard too much "thumbsup" And and even bigger thank you for the VF part so I could actually race!

Thanks for making the ramps Donkerhonky, they were great fun :lol:

Thanks for announcing and letting us crawlers know how actual racing is done Jerry "thumbsup"

Thanks Nishru for the two Jato ends and tools, no idea how that happened :roll:

SO HAPPY I MADE IT OUT!

Alright, here ya go guys! My barely capable computer did it's best to bring you this raw, uncut footage of all of us actin' a fool! It's 16mins. long :shock:, so... Enjoy!

Click here to watch Rock-Race (http://media.putfile.com/Rock-Race)

Thanks Matt, for letting us tear up your backyard! I think we all had a really good time!

Is this another 1st for KCRC? First was the Live coverage of The Midwest event, and now coverage of a new style of event. I know I've seen plenty of, "here, look at my new rock racer I just built", but never an actual rock race.

Thanks for the video Matt, it was fun to watch even in raw format. Might have to get that file from you for a few clips out of it.

I think I have seen a couple videos of people putting on organized rock races before, but no matter what we need to do it again! I am going to have a hard time convincing myself to take the 27t out of my rig now :lol:

[muddauber jr]

Man that was cool! BIG AIR!

Sorry about the shaken camera, runnin' the whole time.
That was funny with the broken s-horn, Josh tern me.:lol:
Josh do you still have that plastic silver 5 spoke of mine?

Man were all funny.

thanks Matt & also Matt D & Jerry for the kick ass course
