XRCRRRRS Colorado Rock Race 12/8/07
 

So we are going to try something new, ROCK RACING!!!! First race will be at Red Rocks Elementary rock pile. 9:30 registration 10am start.

Ideal rules:

So rock race class rules (heres what I am thinking).
-13.5 max wheel base
-2.2 wheels
-tire no taller then 6.5
-12.5 inches wide, no more then.
-rear steer optional
-no winching
-same body/tuber size rules as 2.2 class
Course set up and points lay out
-Single truck run at a time
-rope lines both sides outlining direction
- reversing will cost no points or time
- winner is determined by lowest overall time
- 3 courses per comp then top 5 finals course
- if ropeline is broken by whole truck, a time penalty will be given of 2 minute
- if truck must be rolled over a 1 minute penalty will be given
- no repairs will be given during a course run
-if course is not finished a 5 minute penalty will be given
-course will be 24 inches wide at the narrowest point
-Caution tape for rope lines.
-its a timed event counting up best time wins, but i also figure we time it depending on how long the course are going to be. (like 2.2).

Any questions, suggestions, please post up!!!

DAmn! sounds like we are track for some carnage!
Hey Patrick whats your set up so we have some sort of bases?

I've Got a 3013 hyperion compo with 14 cells on a sw3 and tlt axles around 13 inches long.

Once again I will see if hobby town is willing to help out!

cheers!

My setup is a tuber, with a hole bunch of power. Thats all I can say, if you want more info and want to witness the destruction, you have to come see!!:twisted::lol:

I am in I will just need to put a different tranny and motor in my 2.2.

I'm interested in anything rock crawling, sounds fun!

Is this going to replace the winter series or is it seperate?

No it is not the winter series. Just a little thing for fun, run what you brung. You can run your crawler if you want-no matter. The courses will be easy, it's all about time!!

This sucks, 666 you have horrible timing! I was reading this and started thinking what I could change to be prepared for this. Then my wife reminded me her office Xmas party is that day!!!! AAARRRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!!:cry: Better get some video of this. Hope you guys have fun without me.


And I know you will!!!!:flipoff:

Going too try and make it.Longer links throw in a faster motor.Run it like i rented and got the insurance.

Well, yeah :lol::flipoff:

I hope to have a running rig by then that fits the rules. Can I get an exemption if I run Shelly?

Kris's event where we ran 2 rigs on the course at the same time made for a great time. It would also speed up getting a ton of people through the day.

I know I had more fun when someone was on the course with me.

Ummmm, whats the WB? I know mine will not tech!:-P

Good idea!! We will try that on the test runs!

That is why I want an exemotion :lol: Could I just run her and not have it count for the standings?

Two rigs at once is hella fun, esp when you get to ramp off of them!

Geez must we always treat you like your special??:flipoff:

I'm in thanks for the chance"thumbsup"

So what about the rest of you girls?

You can use a 2.2 crawler guys dont have to do anything special, out of control fast may not be the way to go.
And once again HOBBY TOWN will be sponsoring this event!
1st gets $15.00
2nd gets $10.00
3rd gets $5.00

I'll have to check the calander, I know we have stuff going on that weekend, it just a matter of what time.

I could just throw 12 cells at Bumblebee and call it a day I think. :twisted: Or maybe rebuild the SW2ber, or............

i may be able to make this one!!!! dont think my 2.2 is worth a crap but ill race her and see what happens.... im going to need a bigger pinion!

Sounds like too much fun to pass up. in

i just found some old chassis stuff.. the 2.2 is going under the knife next week!
