Default Battery and charging....

Just a quick question as I finalize my builds....

Are we going to have time in between rounds to re charge packs? most of my rigs i usually just run 1 pack in and re charge it ( some are hard to get to and I am lazy )

Or do I need to load up my pockets with extra packs?

Especially since he will be pointing out on every course by the 2nd or 3rd gate.

With the comp site selected and the walk of roughly 100 yards back to the vehicles to charge batteries is there any idea of how much Dezfan charges by the hour? I know I don't want to be walking back and forth to the car all day and would much rather just get a quick nipple charge off our buddy.

Dezzy?

i have a few questions Ben,
will there be some way we will know where we are in the running order and can keep track?
reason being it looks like im gonna be running the same pack for all my scalers. id like to let it rest as long as i can before recharging.
how will this work, will there be announcments, or a driving order posted?

also will there be a generator there for drills, dremels, soldering irons, ie emergency repairs? not sure how far the comp site is from electricity/civilization.

Cory,

Everyone will be assigned a course to start on, when you complete that course, you move to the next one, you can jump right in line or wait a bit, it is up to you. You will PLEANTY of time for batteries.

We will have a few enclosed trailers with full power, there is no civilization for about 15 miles.

3 AND 3

some of the gates for each class are shared, so it will look like 3 total courses. But there are a bunch of different lines for each class.
