We got a few possible course obsticles layed out yesterday, all I can say is there is going to be some air time!! It should be a blast for sure!

What's cool is for all of the guys that don't have a didicated rock racer or a fast crawler, you should be able to do the whole course just fine with a "regular" speed crawler. For the guys that have the power though, air time baby!

Are there technical rock sections or should I just bring my stampede?

As Ty was telling us, there will be "beginner" crawling obstacles. From what I saw yesterday, you'll need a crawler for sure.

Is there going to be more than 1 rig on the course at a time?

It'd be sweet to run 2 guys on the course at the same time, double elimination bracket style;) Loose twice and you're done, keep winning and you're in.

That's how we were running them yesterday goofing around, it ws pretty hilarious. I think we should talk Ty and Patrick into doing it that style, it's way more entertaining with more than one person running at a time.

Peanut the SW2ber will be ready to roll.

If we have enough guys it might be good to break the vehicles into a couple classes. Like a crawler class and a pro-mod class. Just so that guys with 55T motors and 6-7 cells don't have to race against Ty's 14 cell monster.

Peanut would run pro-mod with his 13.5" wb, 4ws, and 5.5" tall tires.

I like the idea of focusing on speed and keeping the technical crawling aspect down. Great job guys.

Totally agree. If we're looking to have fun, running multiple rigs at once makes it alot more fun.

I love that idea. Then there is a clear winner after every race, not just at the end.

I don't think it would be fair to run guys with crawlers against guys with rock racers though. I've been trying to talk a few people into showing up with crawlers just to have fun.

Griz don't forget the rig that won the last rockrace wasn't a racer at all, and was one of the slowest rigs there ;)

If you just have a standard cawler, you could just through in a stock 27 turn motor and sha-bam, Rock racer! No other mods or changes needed. Plus, you can pick up on of those motors for cheap!
