RC4WD's Colorado Scale Series #1 1/29/12 Daniels Park

[666]

Welcome all to the kick off of the new Colorado Scale Series!

We are going to kick off the series at wonderful views abound, Daniels Park!

The first event will start at 10am courses will be built starting at 9am and tech inspection will be at 9:30am. We will also need volunteers for judging at every event.

Directions/location:

Google Maps

Exact location: Park in the south parking lot by the pavilion and bathrooms.

For the scale series we will be following:

http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/scale...ale-rules.html

And for this comp we will be driving courses, fun scale driving courses, no rush, just drive!

We will run Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 scale rigs.
Class 1 and Class 2 crawlers will use the same courses, while class 3 crawlers will have separate courses.

For this comp we will have a 10 point minimum to run and no max!? 50% of your scale points will be applied per course.

Now teching scale rigs can be a long drawn out process so we ask that you add up your points before hand and post them up here and know them at the comp at sign up. Your scale points total will be told to Ty, Rodney, or me the morning at the event at Tech. If anyone wishes to dispute your scale points it must be done before the start of courses at tech inspection in the morning. If you do not tally your own scale points before the start of the event you will receive a zero for the day. Scale points however have nothing to do with vehicle legality, just the bonus points you will receive for the scale details of each crawler you enter. Vehicles will be teched at the beginning of the day for class legality.

If you have any questions about what class your rig falls in, what you can claim, etc, please post up and we will help you out! Pictures help!!

I hope to see some killer rigs out and I'm ready to have some fun!!

We also have some killer gift's for The Crawl Space for drivers this comp, everyone can you say "Thank you The Crawl Space" !!

And then we have some pictures to get the juices flowing!

[BasicMods]

Count me in with my wraith!!!!

[James003]

I'll be there with my honcho and my wraith! I'm guessing the honcho is class 2 and the wraith is class 3. I'll work on my points (not many lol) and post up this week.

[Draggermirage]

I'll be there with both a Honcho and Wraith.

Also needing to tally up scale points.
