I was going to post up next week for a morning gtg up at red hills next sunday but we'll see what happens.

Hey guy's remember to read up on the rules for your rig. Were going to try and do a gtg a few weeks before the event to practice tech the vehicles to try and get the last minute tweaks done on the rigs. I'll post a date as soon as we get into next month

Thats right, but you better watch out that mean old tech guy might end up being you

I just had the same conversation with Jason a couple days ago. Your farthest out point on your door, not the bottom of the door is what you want to go of off.

[ANoodle]

I cant wait till the open season, I have been wanting to get out there soon.

[finishline]

I guess after were done making any changes we could post a pic up of the rig to make sure it's all good. So the powers to be can nick pic it to death

Thanks John and wish you could make it but I know we'll see you soon yea tell them to bring there scalers for sure, They can run them on the course just have to be in spec to run in the series. We love having as many people as we can because it makes for a funner time all around and as long as the rigs have 4 wheels and run, they can run with LERK anyday. Well you know how it go's John I don't have to tell you lol

Well since theres no rule I can find i'm going to say yes because your doing this on your time Also noticed that a recovery is 10 points and a winch is only 1 point I think thats not a good rule so at the event i'll let everyone know we'll do it like last year, Use your winch it's +5 and a recovery well stay at +10 meaning if you need to get a judges pull then it's a ten. This only counts though if your struggling through a gate not wedged in a hole our totally stuck then it's a +10 and repositioned back to last gate progressed.

Trying to lighten my load up a bit.

Spare, recovery strap 2 scale items = -5 but are you saying 5 or more scale items is another -5 ? I need all the points I can get

Scale points:
Mandatory items as follows- Must have spare tire, Recovery strap and at least 2 scale items. You must have these on your rig or you well not get any scale points minused off your score at end of the day. If you have these you well get an extra -5 if you have 5 or more scale accessories not including mandatory items.
5 or more scale items= -5
Real winch= -3/ Servo winch= -2/ Fake winch= -1
Metal bumpers F/B= -3/ Plastic bumpers F/B= -1
Hard body= -3
Servo mounted on chassis= -1
Fender wells or interior= -1/ Both= -3 rear and full interior ?
Transfer case= -3
Full scale tuber with panels= -5/ Plastic= -2
Rear caged truggy metal= -3/ Plastic= -1
Leaf springs= -1/ F/B= -3
Lights F/B= -2/ Must be on while running courses.

If you don't have mandatory items you well not get any scale points taken off at the end of the event.

Found the ruling on the sand ramps, post #17 & 18 *2011 SORCCA Course points and penalties* War Pig says its the same as a winch penalty.

No you have to have the mandatory to get any additional scale points. So you will have the spare, recovery strap and 2 scale items as manditory items. Then if you have 5 more scale items you will get -5. So in a sense you have to have 7 scale items to get the -5, 2 manditory scale items + 5 more scale items.

Hope that helps Martin do you have any idea who will be coming from the Sac area.

Me, maybe Mike from Ace Hobbies, Rob's mom passed away this week so won't be making the trip. Dan might come down, nissan mike won't be able to make it. So I didn't answer your question but Me and possible two more. I'll know more in a couple of hours.
