Default 801rcc 2012 Ultra4 Race #7 "Altitude Sickness"

801rcc 2012 Ultra4 Race #7 "Altitude Sickness"

As the racing heats up, 801rcc heads for the Uintas to cool down. Join us for another epic battle against the terrain, and the clock in the cool Uinta Mountains. This area has proved to be an awesome place for competitions, but is untested ground when it comes to the Ultra4 races. Who knows how the rigs and drivers will handle this awesome location.

-When-
Saturday July 21st, 2012

9-9:30AM: Course Setup
10AM: Sign Ups/Tech
10:45AM: Pics and Drivers Meeting
11-11:15AM: Race Starts

-Where-
Bald Mountain, UT

GPS Coordinates:
40.687440, -110.904279

LOCATION: High Uinta's
TERRAIN: Smooth rock, lots of steps and ledges with some dirt
TRACTION: Low/med

Bald Mtn is a recreational fee area. $6.00 per car

Directions:
From Kamas Utah Head East on Mirror Lake hwy (UT-150) about 29 miles. You'll see a sign that says "Bald Mtn Pass" with a small dirt road on the left that leads to the parking lot.
Bald Mtn is car accessible and has a small parking lot, with camping spots just around the corner. There is plenty of rock to throw down courses and still have tons of room for "Fun Crawling" or "Scale running". Bald Mtn is in the high Uinta's so the over night lows can dip down to near freezing and After noon thunder showers are common, so make sure to bring clothing and gear for cold conditions. With the heat of summer on full blast this comp should allow everyone to have a slight cool down.

BE PREPARED TO SWITCH BATTERY PACKS!!!! RUMOR HAS IT THIS RACE WILL BE 3 LAPS OF 100 GATES!!! BE PREPARED!!! (thank you AxialFest )

Come spend the day or weekend with 801rcc in the Uintas for some fun and excitement!

(flyer coming soon)

Can't wait for this race, it's so nice up there in the summer and camping is a premium. This will be the first Ultra4 race we've had at Bald mt so it's sure to be interesting

I had a great time at this race. I got a good position starting 1st in the second heat so I knew I had to keep up the speed so no one would pass me. My rig ran great exept for my lack of servo power and low stance but I managed to finish in a good spot. My 1750 3s lasted tell gate 140! Thanks for judging me coco.

I thought it was more fun because it lasted longer. I actually had enough batterys to do 6 laps if needed.
