|  Rules for Rescue Rigs? Thinking about building a recovery vehicle and bringing it along, but wanted to know if there will be any rules other then "make it scale". Also wondering if we can bring large scale rigs? |

| What about recovery rigs? I was thinking about doing a sort of halftrack vehicle...Let me know if this would be allowed. If it is I will move it up on the projects list. |

| Why would anyone need a rescue vehicle? Ohhh, I forgot everyone doesn't drive like the Colorado guys. |

You can run multiple winches if you have the radio for it | |

| I'm talking about building a tow rig that is used when the tow rig gets caught And Jason-I'm from Colorado, but I felt like helping those who are less fortunate. |

| No, I mean like I am asking if anyone would have any qualms with me bringing a recovery vehicle that was track-driven, to help anyone and everyone during the comps. Like building a scale version of this: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/l...rv-dvic353.jpg |

| If it's like last year, other drivers would earn points for winching or something to get someone through a course, there wasn't a dedicated rescue truck. |

| I'd be more then happy to build the dedicated rescue vehicle...It wouldn't run in the comp, just give people a winch if they needed to get back on their wheels. EDIT: Plus it would make one killer "follow the leader" run. Last edited by Rudukai13; 02-10-2008 at 10:07 PM. |

| I can still make a halftrack, I just need to make sure that it will be allowed as a rescue rig. |

| Would be fun to see. I have a mental image of something with a boom literally lifting up a stuck rig. |

| I donno about that but the tank kit that I would use to convert into a halftrack is 22" long so it would have no problems getting and 11" wheelbase crawler onto a flatbed |
