PARC 2006 Comp#1
January 8th (Class 1 and 2)
8:45am sign up, 9am comp start
Papago Park, Phoenix Arizona (maps and directions here: http://www.thecrawlerstore.com/Events.html)

Our first 2006 event will take place on January 8th. We will be trying something new in 2006. The 14" wheelbase class. Details can be found here:

http://www.thecrawlerstore.com/Events.html

under competition rules. We will be strict with this class as to what is and is not allowed in the comp. So if your not sure, ask us at the comp or post up. As of today, there are 3 of us with these trucks and anyone is welcome to drive mine in the comp. Remember, PARC is yours, so please let us know if you guys like or dislike the new class. We will keep it or get rid of it depending on your response.

Because we now have 3 classes, we will rotate through the classes at the comps. First event will run class 1 and 2, second event 2 and 3, third event 3 and 1, and so on. We are also running comps every three weeks now instead of every four weeks.

Class 1: Unlimited (approx. 16" wheelbase)
Class 2: Drivers/Spec (14" wheelbase)
Class 3: Unlimited 2.2 (approx. 12.5 wheelbase)

See the full 2006 schedule here:

Cant wait...my pivotless unlimited, and 14inch shafty are going together as soon as I get back to AZ.

I do not have any good suggestions for a location, but would love to see a new location if possible.

WRMorrison · 12-27-2005, 06:08 PM

Mine should be ready by then, it's a roller as I type this. I was going to take your suggestion Kev about the spec class, but my chassis plates/link mounts don't like the short wheelbase. Looks like I'll be setting up for the unlimited class.

(unless I can get a slightly modified side plate designed and cut out in 11 days...

...and we both know that isn't gonna happen)

According to the rules listed on Kev's website, it can be 2ws only. Maybe it's possible to have 4ws, and just not use it in comps?

kevinlongisland · 12-28-2005, 07:35 AM

yes, rich is correct. No 4ws. You can read all our current rules about the spec/drivers class here:

http://www.thecrawlerstore.com/Events.html

then scroll down to the competition rules section.

grover · 12-28-2005, 02:07 PM

I dont remember if we are changing the max number of points per gate for '06? I remember talking about it but not what everyone decided.

kevinlongisland · 12-28-2005, 05:41 PM

i don't think we really decided on anything. For those of you that were not there, we are thinking about reducing the max points per gate to speed things up some. We've all been there or seen someone stuck in a spot and spend a bunch of time trying to get past the gate or point out. We'd like to avoid this and decrease the time through each coarse for the group. That means more drive time for everyone and more stages.

rock_starr · 01-01-2006, 09:12 PM

just a guick question. could a tuber run in spec class if it was running 2ws,4-link, 14in wb, ect.

rock_starr · 01-01-2006, 09:50 PM

i just noticed we havenot decided on where we are competing. i have not been out to papago and i think we have done more than enough at south mountain. what about something out east. it would be a change but it might be good. i just thought i would put in my 2 cents.

A tuber would be fine for the spec class. I think we will be doing this next event at papago. We are completely open to new spots. Anyone can post up a spot they are interested in. Take some photos of the spot and post them up. Then one of us will come out and scout out the spot.

As far as the max points per gate goes lets try 15. We'll see how it works and adjust from there if needed.

Let's do this comp at Papago Park. We are open to suggestions for future events. Maps and directions here: http://www.thecrawlerstore.com/Events.html

rock_starr · 01-02-2006, 10:54 PM
