Crawl Space Scale Adventure Series 2015

Aloha Drivers and welcome to the 3rd year of the Crawl Space Scale Adventure Series!

A Scale Adventure is just like the name implies, Adventure.
Drivers will navigate a course marked with numbered gates within the alotted time. Course time limit: 3-4 hours depending on terrain and location.

Drivers will also be given a mission to complete along with driving the course. Drivers must collect items to complete their mission. Mission Items will be spread out along or close to the course, so keep your eyes peeled.

The Driver Mission will be outlined before the start of the course.

Once your mission is completed, complete the course and check in at base camp to turn in your items and get your score for the day.

Classes:
Trucks will be divided into the standard SORCCA Class specs, Class 1, 2 and 3.

We will also run the new Driver/Mini Driver class.
Driver/Mini Driver class is designed for parents and their children driving as a team. The course and standard rules apply with the addition that "team" must finish together at the same time and will be scored within their own class.

Scale Adventure Rig Requirements.
-A scale vehicle must be 1/10 car / truck with a scale chassis or custom tube scale chassis.
-Tires may be 1.55, 1.9, or 2.2, but must be a licensed manufactured tire or knock offs. Tires must resemble the real thing and can be siped or grooved.
-Minimum 10 scale points.
-A tow strap is mandatory and can be used to self recover a truck.
-A winch is not mandatory, but highly recommended.
-A spare tire is not mandatory, but highly recommended.
-Other items may be required for specific Scale Adventure and will be announced before each event.
-All scale recovery items/tools, must be attached to the vehicle and after their use, be placed back on the vehicle. This includes sand ramps, tow straps, and hi-lift jacks. Real tools may be carried by the driver.
-Class 3 trucks are allowed to use dig and/or 4 wheel steering on course without penalty.

Scale Adventure rules

Rule #1. HAVE FUN!
This is not a race, the driver that has the most fun wins in the end. Drivers must navigate the course with integrity. If you hit a gate on course, replace the gate and attempt it again for a clean progress. You are only cheating yourself by not driving the course properly and completing the course and mission.

Rule #2. Safety.
Beware of your footing , your surroundings and others around you. One bad slip can ruin anyone’s day. Young ones may be running in the event so please watch them as well. If you get hurt to the point of needing care please report back to Base Camp and we will attain to the situation. Snakes and wildlife may be in the area so be careful.

Rule #3 Team Up.
We encourage drivers to help others through the course and collect items to complete their mission. New drivers are always coming out the the events so lets give them a hand so they can have fun with the mission.

Each driver must collect their own set of Mission Items to complete their mission. Mission items must be carried on the scale rig at all times, no pockets. Bonus items will tallied with the drivers time score for a final score. Each driver may pick up ONLY ONE OF EACH BONUS ITEM. Bonus items much be carried on your rig at all time, no pockets.

In an effort to keep our land clean, Trash is considered a bonus item, the more you pick up the better your score. Trash can be carried in a separate bag or backpack. please be careful when picking up trash.

Rule #4. NO HAND OF GOD. (HOG)A driver may not assist, stop, catch, or kick his/her vehicle. There are no penalties for reverses, gates, winching or using your tow strap so DRIVE SMART! Drivers may use their winch, tow rope or other truck to recover their rig. Performing on course repairs or having to touch your vehicle for recovery purposes is not hogging. Picking your vehicle up out of water, mud, sand or rolling it over onto its wheels with your hand are all examples of hogging your vehicle and resulting in a disqualification penalty. You must report back to Base Camp in the event of HOG.

Rule #5. Repairs
If you break on course and can not repair, remember the last gate you progressed and report back to Base Camp to report your break and the last gate progressed.

Rule #6. Course Direction
A driver can not drive through a gate & reverse back through it to avoid trail obstacles. This will result in a DQ. A course is directional & must be progressed in the intended direction of travel. Reversing through the trail marker in the intended direction is ok & allowed during reverse sections.

Scoring and penalties.
Once you've reached the last gate, proceed to Base Camp, check in with us and show your mission items and any bonus items to get your score tallied.

Driver with the lowest time, all their Mission Items collected and any bonus items gets first place, second lowest time and all Mission Items collected gets second place, etc, etc.

-Reverse course direction: DQ.

-Hand Of God (HOG): DQ.
Skill Sections, where applicable.

Re: Crawl Space Scale Adventure Series 2015

I'm pissed I have to miss Red Rocks in May.

Re: Crawl Space Scale Adventure Series 2015

Hoping to try a few of these this summer with my son. I have never considered carrying "found" items on our trucks. Can someone offer advice on what methods people are using to carry mission items?

Re: Crawl Space Scale Adventure Series 2015

zip ties. carry lots of zip ties...

Some guys have little compartments on their vehicles (like little truck boxes)

A scale trasharoo works well.

I'm sure others have different ideas.

I'm going to miss the event on the 17th. Lisa and I will be in moab =)

Re: Crawl Space Scale Adventure Series 2015

OH YEA, SUNDAY FUNDAY @ Red Rocks is right around the corner!!! "thumbsup"

Re: Crawl Space Scale Adventure Series 2015

A few buddies and I are in on Sunday, sure hope the rain holds out!! See you all there

Re: Crawl Space Scale Adventure Series 2015

Planning to come down from Steamboat Springs. I am watching the forecast. But, I wonder, how likely is a rain out (trail conditions not actual current weather)? Seems like people still got it done during Nationals. We are excited to check this out. But, 6 hours of driving for a cancelled event would honk.

The weather looks like it will hold out til the afternoon but as you know its Springtime in the Rockies and the weather can change at a moments notice.

We are still good to go at this point. We will keep a close eye on the weather and if anything changes we will update here and on the shop Facebook page as soon as possible.

Rain has never stopped us before, but if it turns into a torrential downpour we will cancel mainly for safety

Re: Crawl Space Scale Adventure Series 2015
