[toyofast]

Alrigh folks... ORCRC's Round #3 for our crawling competition in the 2004 season is June 27th!





First a few pictures of the rigs going at it, head to head.....


















Rigs on the 1st course....










































Rigs on 2nd course...



























































Thanks to those who showed up, regulars and the newbies!... Great time again!!

1st course wasn't too bad but did cause some problems for a few of the crawlers. 2nd course didn't seem to let many finish, just a nasty and time consumming course. I think only about 4 actually finished the course without getting the DNF next to their name. The 10 minute time limit went by way too fast!!


Many more photos can be seen at,

I'll have the little 'ol Tot ready for action... even if it's halfway together

I haven't heard from many people but it seems like the fewer I hear from the more that tend to show up

I'll bring what markers I have left..... Dan or Ryan had most of them but I have enough to lay out at least one course, maybe two but one for sure. I got chalk too, a whole tub full of it if needed.

Everyone's run times range between 30-60 minutes per pack. It all depends on setup though.

Our courses have a time limit of 10 minutes..... On that second course we ran, I needed about 12-13 minutes to finish, that's why I got a DNF for course #2 It was a long and tough course.

[MudBoGGinMaxX]

oh aight i just wondered, what kind of pack do u run, cuz im running a 2400 is that a good one or should i get higher?

[toyofast]

I run el cheapo 1400/1500 NiCd packs. Some of them are 7-10 years old too Just charge 'em and go!

Sorry I didn't make it guys. I was out of town for 9 days and stayed up pretty late saturday night to get my truck back together. All was going well until I drove my tap in too far on a new tie rod and stripped the threads. I didn't have enough time to cut another one, so I gave up. I wanted to come watch, but didn't get my butt out of bed out of bed early enough (still on beach time I guess). I can't believe it, but I am now 0 for 3 on comp attendance. Ouch.

Toyo, what took you so long on course #2? I laughed to myself and was wondering if it is because your truck is geared so low......just kidding.

I was having trouble right at the start, didn't line myself up right on the first rock, had to re-position. Then at the next gate I fell into the Kong eating hole, another re-position. Had a couple of rollovers and then at about gate 6 or 7 I noticed that my rear stearing wasn't working too well. Turns out I lost the lower screw that hold the knuckle in place. This caused my right rear wheel to be pretty much dragged along side the truck. 3-wheel drive makes it hard... but every once and a while the knuckle/wheel would go back into it's spot and it's start to give traction. I got to the water crossing and went right into the deep side, had to re-position again! Got to the top of the water crossing hill, made the turn to get through gate #10 and just couldn't get through the "Hot Tub". I had my right rear wheel acting like an anchor and couldn't get any traction. My time ran up right there...... At least I filled the "Hot Tub" with water to give problems to the next set of rigs
