[Harvo]

ETRC Trail Truck Class Primer Comp and Scale Day









When: March 29 Saturday
Where: Sugarloaf Park (Ocoee)
Time: Setup - 8:30 Tech Discussion and Start - 9:30

This will be an opportunity to discuss and learn about the Trail Class, practice building courses, and a full blown Trail Truck Comp. We will also run a Sporty Class Comp.

Trail Truck: 3 courses and a final
Long Scale Course: 2 courses
Shaft Class Sporty: 3 courses and a final

Sugarloaf park is a very nice park on the river BELOW all the Ocoee Dams. It is on the river side of hwy 64 right underneath the bottom dam. They have a huge concrete model of the Upper Ocoee River that is about 100 yards long, and it is surrounded by some river rock. The park has large fields, some wooded areas, a pavilion and picnic tables. It's a nice park to bring the family to. You can fly kites, play Frisbee, fish... as there is plenty of room.

If you have been doing this for years or you have never done it before, come on out. Bring whatever Scale Like Trail Truck you have. You can run it. We will be discussing the new rules and the new class there.

Trail Truck Class Rules

ETRC will still allow a run what you bring Comp. If you intend to compete at the National events, you should soon begin working on getting your truck into the specs.


I copied and pasted the Trail Truck Class Rules and Specs here. This is how they are currently however there is a change that will allow trucks with a stock width that is narrower than 9" to go 1 full inch wider than stock. I tried to make everything one color but I cant for some reason. If you have trouble seeing anything, let me know.



The USRCCA reserves the right to add any stock specification or measurement to class requirements at anytime if it deems it necessary to maintain the competitive balance of the class.
