UTRCRC 1st Annual Moab RC Crawl-Off Results. (Pics)

[PinchFlat]

The UTRCRC 1st Annual Moab RC Crawl-Off, was again a great turn out yet with 16 crawlers competing. We had a great time and really appreciate everyone that showed up to compete and support this event. In Moab UTRCRC had a first, we had our first ever Female competitors Yes compatitors, there were two. Christina Guhman and Jillian W. They both did great and showed the men that girls could be competitive in RC Crawling too (unfortunately Jillian's TXT-1 broke a driveline durring her first run). Also we want to give a special Thank you to all those that traveled for out of state. And let us not forget our kind sponcers for providing the prise packages; West Valley Hobbies (a full set of Imex K-Rock Tires), World Class Hobbies (Battery pack and motor spray). UTRCRC also donated one of our v2 TEAM Chassis.

On with the results.

Well… We thought we would call Course 1, Crack-O-Rama. This course turned out to be a great all around course. Some sections were great for long wheel base rigs, some sections were great for wide rigs, some sections were great for narrow rigs.and some were great for short wheel base rigs. Unfortunately for me there was one section that was not kind at all to my type of rig - long whellbase, narrow width and narrowed tires. It ate the Dusty alive, I should have left the BFTs on.

Among other ledges and off-camber steps, the course had six different cracks that had to be navigated. Each Crack favored a different type of rig set-up. One of these cracks in the middle of the course was especialy EVIL... Like the fruit of the Devil. Those that were there know the one I'm talking about. The was also a nice little (narrow) ledge your had to ride that was cursed all day. All in all it was a great course with a variety of obsticals to hate and love.

Course 1 (Crack-O-Rama):
1 Teardrop Light/Kevin Guhman – 3 (penalties: 1 reverse, 2 boundary)

UTRCRC Scores (we were not counted towards the official scoring due to the fact we solicited the prizes involved)
00 Furless v2/Brett Thorne – 5 (penalties: 1 rollover, 2 gate marker, 2 boundary)
00 Martha v2/Jason Craig – 7 (penalties: 5 reverse, 1 reposition, 1 gate marker)
00 Dust v2/Matt Davis – 12 (penalties: 2 reverse, 1 rollover, 1 reposition, 1 gate marker, 4 boundery, 1 maximum)



Course 2, Easy Chair. Again we (the course builders) handed the task of designing the second course to all the rest of the competitors. So they took the chalk and gate markers and a few of the guys got to it.

This course ended up as a fun as it first looked challenging. Once on the course it was easyer than it first looked. Even the 3 foot cliff dropped proved to be easyer than expected. Low scores were dominant on this course with 4 zero scores and 3 scores of one, with the highes score being 12. It was a great end of the day course to wind down and relax after an intense first round.

1 4L/Andy Heyd – 0
2 Teardrop Light/Kevin Guhman – 0
3 Grinder/Troy Benton – 1 (penalties: 1 gate marker)

The scoring as it pertains to the UTRCRC team was strickly between the competators and NOT the official results. We need to give credit where credit is due, and that is to those that where competing for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes.

Thanks again to all that showed up and competed. It was a great experience and I hope that we can all get together again soon.

Congrats again to the top 3 finishers.

How did the jumbos work out for ya Grizz?

[Grizzly4x4]

I was very, very pleased with the Jumbo Swamp's, I dont think my piss-poor performance had anything to do with my tires or vehicle. It was all driving errors. When we went out and did some follow the leader on Sunday the Swamp's performed real close to the Giant Tracs. The Giant Tracs were still better but the two rigs running swamps were right there although usually with a little more effort.
Of the tires I have used and seen used, the Jumbo Swamp Dawg's seem to be the next best thing to Giant Tracs IMHO.

howed the buggy do?
