I had a great day, but man was it hot The course format was a lot of fun and hopefully representative of nationals courses. I had my first XR breakage today after a fall that snapped the universal. Trucks don't drive so well with three wheels pulling. Hurry up SDS and make some super 300's Thanks Fish for setting this up

It was a blast, yet hot.

I even think we finished second. "Second" as in terms of which state the drivers were from. Based on the information I can remember with the score sheets that were turned in.

Georiga was first with 8
Florida second with 4
Tenn. Third with 1 ( I think two others were there but did not turn in their sheets)
Alabama third with 1 (Tedrockz did not compete)

And special thanks for Mini, driving 12 hours just to judge.

Oh and a little scaling as well.

LRC = always a good time, even with a broke rig.

A HUGE thanks to Donnie for taking time to troubleshoot my bum rx. Without that, I would not have driven my rig at LRC. Thank you to Mini for the invite, the new rx, and driving. Fish, thanks for the great event and I had a blast on course 1. I am sure there will be one of those courses at the next Florida comp. I should be able to start uploading videos tomorrow.

Well Fishy had set up course #1 which had optional bonus gates at each of the 10 regular gates, you had the option to try the bonus gate prior to the standard gate. If you completed the course, you would get -2 added to your score for each bonus gate complete, but again you had to complete the course to have the bonus gate count.

So on a 10 gate course with 10 optional gate, the perfect score would be -40 (-20 regular gates and -20 bonus). It was more of a head game as the optional gate were mostly a time comsumer.
