2015 Colorado Rally Championship
Mission statement
The goal of the series is to have fun and mimic full size rally cars and events. The tracks are tight with technical corners and constantly changing conditions. This series runs in all weather conditions, if it is safe to drive to the track there will be a race. With this series we strive to have a cohesive means to fulfill our racing dreams while on the budget of racing RC rally cars. Participants are encouraged to go above and beyond with regards to scale appearance.
Rules and Classes
There are no tire tread limitations. Any tire can be used as long as it uses a 1.9 wheel and is for “cars”.

Recommended Tire List:
Tamiya Rally Block
HPI Pirelli
HPI x Patterns
MRC Academy Rally Blocks

2015 Series Scoring and Points:
Race days will start with a round robin style event. Every driver will race every other driver in the class. This will result in an overall standing. In other words, the wins & loses from the round robin will place drivers in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc…. Once the round robin is complete and drivers are ranked for the day, we will start the finals. The finals will be a single elimination style event in which 1st place will be paired with last place, 2nd place will race 2nd to last place, and so on. The final bracket will produce the race’s overall ranking and therefore each driver’s event points. Each driver’s event points will be tallied for the overall series championship.

Round Robin bonus points:
The top three drivers of the round robin will receive bonus points for the day. Bonus points will be tracked for the series and will not dictate the winner for the class that day.
1st- 3 bonus points
2nd- 2 bonus points
3rd- 1 bonus point

Single Elimination points are as follows:
1st- 25 points
2nd- 18 points
3rd- 15 points
4th- 12 points
5th- 10 points
6th- 8 points
7th- 6 points
8th- 4 points
9th- 2 points
10th-1 points

CRC 2015 # DECAL SHEETS

Freqeskinz mocked up some CRC 2015 decal sheets. These are 4x6in and will be printed on clear vinyl. The idea is that you can cut out your number and put the digits on the 2 large number decals. Plus they have some basic CRC 2015 decals. These will be $10 per sheet if we want them. That's our cost, no profit to me. Please post if you're interested. I need to know a ballpark level of interest before throwing down money.

Decal sheets have been ordered. I will have them for sale during events. $10 per sheet. We ended up going with slightly larger dimensions for a better 1/10 fit.

First race is this Sunday!

Bring any/all track barriers you have. We'll use them to build the course.

Sunday Oct 5th.
9am course building and donuts
9:30am Registration
10am Race start

Location: HOONHouse, 1340 W. Evans Unit 2K, Denver. (I pulled the address from last year's thread)

Our first race was yesterday. I had a ton of fun! Everybody got a lot of drive time, which is awesome and what lots of us were hoping for this year. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.

I'm guessing Turtle will have some real images to post, but here are some to get you started.
