Here are the results. You will have to forgive me for posting so late. I passed out when I got home, though I do recall at one point talking to Chino. You did call right? I don't remember much from it other than something taking 2 years or something like that.

Anyway here you go Nor-Cal: (note season points are not listed yet)

Super Modified Class

Jason (rockcrawler_101) - 21 points
Matt - 39 points
Daniel (1beatjeep son) - 48 points
John (Badger) - 61 points
Richard (1beatjeep father) - 79 points
Dustin - 91 points
Adam - 94 points
Todd - 97 points
John Hunt - 99 points

Limited 2.2 Class

Sam (SlinkySam) - 40 points
John (Badger) - 45 points
Daniel (1beatjeep son) - 46 points
Tyler - 54 points
Dean (Chino63) - 60 points
Rob - 71 points
Jared (sicj) - 73 points
Randy (RandyBBY) - 78 points
Brian - 89 points (tie)
Mike - 89 points (tie)
Tony - 96 points
Brandon - 97 points
Richard (1beatjeep father) - 99 points

We also combine all the classes to see how the classes did against each other in points since we run roughly the same course for each class.

Here are the results without season points noted. The classes are differentiated with text color and are marked accordingly.

Overall Combined

Jason (rockcrawler_101) - 21 points (super)
Matt - 39 points (super)

Sam (SlinkySam) - 40 points (2.2)

John (Badger) - 45 points(2.2)

We will see you at the next event.

Thanks for the compliments by the way. I figured it just wouldn't be a wheeling event without me finishing at 4:00 AM in the morning just before the start event.

Time for me to head back to bed. I only woke just now to make this posting and have some breakfast.

When you have the time I would like to see the break down on the three 2.2 heats.

Hey i made it through the comp and my truck is still alive. yes it was to be able to put face to screen names. can't wait till the comp.

sicj · 02-26-2006, 09:22 PM

Had a great time. Seeing all the different designs and ideas on how to build the rigs is awesome.

Kickback your crawler made it but you almost didn't! Sliding down the hill and watching your remote puke it's batteries all over the hill was amusing

can't wait for next month's!

SlinkySam · 02-26-2006, 10:07 PM

Here you go Randy. I quickly put down what I had and color coded it accordingly. The max points for a course is 40 points. A driver will receive this if they A) go over the point limit while on course or B) go over the time limit allowed. A 50 point score will be given if you don't start a course at all. Luckily the courses were kind enough to allow everyone through all 3. Thank you O' course gods

\

Here are the final scores with highlighted scores. The Combined Divisions is where we see how you performed against the other divisions running. Although this doesn't hurt your division points, I put down a season total for the Combined Division as well. Last year I believe was won by Badger with his NN Clod.

NorCal 2500HD · 02-26-2006, 11:01 PM

Sam, I believe I scored a 4 on course 2......10 points for drivin over the gate and -6 for the gates......but im not sure how the scoring is....kickback crawler was the one marking my points..........

rockcrawler_101 · 02-26-2006, 11:31 PM

you didnt back up at all?

RandyatBBY · 02-27-2006, 12:42 AM

SlinkySam, Dang you are good I would have slept all day and would have been too tired to write anything. Thanks.

John will have to verify your score. He has the score card for course 2 of the 2.2 class. It would be pretty impressive if you didn't back up on that course, but it is possible.

NorCal 2500HD · 02-27-2006, 09:25 AM

i think i had 1 reverse now that i think about it.........all good though i just thought the score was lower..no biggie

blue devil toyota · 02-27-2006, 09:27 AM

Sorry guys for not making it out. I was also up late Friday night trying to get my junk together. I ran into a bunch of problems with the knuckles and axles from one of the vendors on the board. One knuckle wasn't taped, and the bearings would not fit in the other. Oh well I'll be ready for #2.

This is the exact reason I calculate the drivers score and tell it to them before they leave that stage. If you want to dispute it, that is the best time to since your run is fresh in everyones minds.

Sorry for the mix up on your score.

Gimbal · 02-27-2006, 02:01 PM

Great pics, you guys have some nice rigs

Who makes the cool alum rock rings and what paints were used on the burgundy/olive Chev C-10?

Big_L · 02-27-2006, 02:29 PM

Great turnout! Indian Rock is a cool spot! This was the first comp I been too, next time I'll wake up in time to get there early. Sicj, was the only guy I new, just because of Sheldon's. The short time I was there , I met a few cool guys. Great bunch of guys, a relaxed atmosphere, everyone looked like they were having fun. Can't wait 'till the next comp, hopefully I can work out the bugs on my Scale Truggy or get a 2.2 comp rig ready for the next event. I'm already putting my electric sedan for sale to buy a new crawler and parts!

I just added a few shots from the event. The rest can be seen at the Nor-Cal website (http://www.Nor-Calrcrc.com)

Most of the gang. Others came later.

Jason doing a Stoppie just before the last gate of the event and a first place win in Super Modified.

This diagonal climb proved to be more of a challenge than first anticipated. Doesn't look like much, but it ate a bunch of us.

Dean's Bronco worked quite well on the climbs even with a short (compared to most others) 11.5" wheelbase.

I think it was the flames that helped me with the win in the 2.2 class. It's like chrome rims, they make you perform better

Rob dropping in on one of the many challenges with his Clod axled 2.2 crawler. This one was the last drop in on course #3.

This obstacle was like a mouth. It just ate crawlers for lunch that day. It didn't care if you were 2.2 or Super Mod. It ate you. Many avoided this pit by taking a cone to go around it.

Thanks. Dean wound up taking half of them also since I wound up either judging or just forgetting to take photos. I wish I took more of the first two courses because those were the best.

sicj · 02-28-2006, 07:01 AM

nice pics!

Did anyone make that diagonal climb? I saw Dean take the cone but then truck right up it later on...

Dean made it with ease with his green Bronco. Short wheelbase and good belly clearance got him up in one shot. Made the obstacle look silly almost.
