Can we have clear side panels? i don't know if i'll have time to paint
If its the rig I've seen pictures of, you should just build a time machine and send it back to 2004 where its geometry belongs.

I have a whole 4 days to tune, i should be fine if anything i'll just load the front end with lead and call it good.

geometry is based of a t1e, but its wider so that may cause some issues, not hard though to weld on some brackets and spacers to mount everything closer inside,

I have already built a time machine, its not hard, where do you think i got chassis from

yea that be great...i don't run side holes though.


It should be legal though, mostly worried about the width...as without body post, its 1/16" under the 5", maybe i'll put a foam spacer in there

i'm ~12.75 long, ~3.5 tall and just a touch under 5" width...how strict are we gonna be on body rules?

I'd have a bodiless topper, but i was planning on running that new tuber i have...it's just horrible when climbing and my lcc chassis setup works so much better, after swapping back over to it, i was driving in heaven just so much smoother, and i wasn't always fighting it. I do still need some belly clearance though, i think i'm gonna try some long rod ends on my shocks and copy rubba that is if andy or chris has any in stock tomorrow, i need 4 17* and 2 straights

The rules will be followed to a T. This is for Nationals and at that level no one is going to cut you any leeway.

If your dog listens, is well behaved, gets along with other dogs, doesn't bark all day, and you clean up his shit we generally don't have a problem with them at the CORCC events.

Hell yea! Nice job Sparky and Casey, glad to hear you boys pulled it off. To everyone else, way to give it your all and hope you had fun.

I, myself, had a great time at this spot hanging with the bros and meeting some new to me GJ folkes. Sorry I missed some of you brothers, we'll catch up next time.

The weather was awesome, couldn't ask for better, the scenery was sweet as could be, I really liked this spot, nice choice Peppermint, and the moonshine was ever so bitter.

To Patty and Ty, thanks fellas for all your hard work on this series. The dedication you show for the hobby and for creating fun times for us monkeys is very much appreciated.

I wanted to watch drivers on course and bs a little more but I had a long night on the chain gang and was a little slow this mourning(Pinche Gringos). Wish we could have stayed a little longer but we had to high tail it out of there.

Best of luck to the Sparkster and Malachy, go get'em boys.

Looking forward to the next get together people,
Miguel

No Kidding Miguel you were a digging machine.

I give you dos servezas to build me a track like you did there.

Had a great time everyone, thank you everyone that judged, you guys were awesome today. Thank you to all drivers, it was great meeting some of you for the first time and everyone else great work. Thank you everyone for keeping it a fun and drama free weekend. It was a great weekend and the first Colorado Crawl off is in the books. It was a awesome way to wrap up the series.

Congratulations go out to Jason R. and Casey C. for killing it today.

Thank you again and again. Everyone enjoy your summer and we will pick this up again this fall and start all over again. Until then bring out the scalers and come on out to Rocas Rojo in July.

Ty

This is how I start the driver's meeting, but I'm talking about the drivers.
