hurray

[BikeDad]

I'll be there and ready to comp in the 2.2 class. Of course I may not be able to drive worth a crap, but that wouldn't be anything unusual.

[Redlinerob]

Looking forward to it.

Later,
Rob

[cars69]

See you There!

My son and I plan on coming. This will be our first RC comp. Is there a entry fee or something. We plan on running the 2.2 pro class. Thanks

Looking forward to it.

Hope everyone knows the new wheelbase rule so there are no surprises!

6.4 - Wheelbase: is measured from center of axle nut to center of axle nut. The vehicle should be set down on a
flat surface by the driver. The front wheel on the side that is being checked, must be pointing straight forward. At
that time, the driver will then cycle the suspension through it's complete extension and compression range while the
judge measures the vehicle's maximum wheelbase. At any point the vehicle's wheelbase cannot extend beyond the
maximum limit of it’s class. All the above procedures must be duplicated on the opposite side. Note: If the vehicles
wheelbase is affected by radio control it must be cycled or activated during tech inspection.

also, progress points are -2 now.

Cool, always good to have some new faces. There's no entry fee to comp, but your points won't count towards the series. If you want them to count, club dues are $20/year. Our 3rd comp (in March) is the deadline for dues.

I would like to come try my first comp, how long do these events normally last? I assume there will be a 1.9 class?

thanks,

we are usually done by noon, depending on the turnout.

[rube bonet]

Thanks for the info, I will most likely be there.

[Hotwheels69]

I will be ther running 1.9 and my scaler

[joe daigle jr]

hooray its finally time to comp again now i gotta remember that there are still a few novice drivers when setting up the 1.9 courses see you all on the rocks!!!

[BadTurtle]

I'll be there with a dialed in modified Pro line tuber chassis running droop suspension. It actually works really good belive it or not. This thing is super light now and goes up crazy inclines. No t-twist until almost vertical.

I think I'll be coming out to watch, if you guys would like any help setting up courses let me know.

Come on out. We'd love to have you. Lets face it you set up some of the best courses out there. If you want, I'll bring out my 1.9 and you can do some driving.

[BikeDad]

I forgot to say that Mike and I will be out by 0630 so we can use all the help we can get. I'm probably the worst course builder there is. I'll build a course I know I can make which means anyone can make it!!!!!!!

[BadTurtle]

I,ve been talking to a lot of people with crawlers that have never been to a comp and I think some of them will be showing up tomorrow. This is the first comp of the year with potential new members showing up. Let's go easy on the difficulty level, at least on the first five gates.:-P My goal as an R/C Crawler is to make it through a course without DNF'ing, not go to the Nationals.

Sally and I will be there as well Rick. 1.9 Pro for me and 1.9 Novice for Sally. The Bully is not up and running yet, so no 2.2 pro for me this time.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
