[Robbob]

2017 New England Triple Crown presented by Krazed Builds

Dates: TBA

What is it?
A series made up using 3 individual events from local clubs to help promote the hobby and crown a title winner. We take dates set by other clubs and use their driver finishes to place driver points.

What classes will be used?
We will score both classes of 2.2M and 2.2S .... All USRCCA rules will be used for vehicle qualification.

How do I win?
Show up to all 3 Triple Crown qualified events.

How is it scored?
3 Random events will be pre picked from neighboring clubs and driver finishes will be scored per their finish at those events.

Driver A gos to event 1 and finishes 4th ..... they will be awarded 96 points towards the Triple Crown.
Driver B gos to the first event and wins ..... they will get 100 points towards the Triple Crown.

Driver A gos to the second event and finishes 5th ...... they are awarded 95 points towards the Triple Crown.
Driver B gos to the second event and finishes 6th .... they are awarded 94 points towards the Triple Crown.

Every driver is awarded 2 bonus points for each event they attend.

Driver A has 191 points plus 4 bonus points for a total of 195 points.
Driver B has 194 points plus 4 bonus points for a total of 198 points.

3 points seperate driver A and driver B with one event left to go.

Driver A gos to third and final event and finishes 3rd .... they are awarded 97 points plus again the 2 point bonus giving them a total of 294 points.

Driver B gos to the third event and finishes 7th ..... they are awarded 93 points plus the 2 bonus points giving them a total of 293 points.

Driver A never won an event but they can win the Crown!

What are the dates?
Local clubs will be posting up soon their summer schedules so we will be picking from them. We will be using a Connecticut based date and a Massachusetts based date for our first two. The third will be determined once we designate the first two.

Can anyone compete for the Triple Crown?
Absolutely! You dont have to be club members or from certain states. If you want to travel to these three events for a shot at the crown then you are more then welcome.


Keep your eyes open here as the season gets closer. We will be posting any and all information leading up to and during the season here on RCCrawler only.

Date #1:
ECRCC / BC Event #4
Sunday, July 23rd, 10:00am
CT Location TBD

Date #2:
Boston Crawlers Event #6
Sunday, Sept 17th, 10:00am
MA location TBD


Due to the clubs using 2 dates of Championship series events it really isnt fair to choose them. I would have loved to use BC's first event but figured it wasnt good missing the first leg of our own tour lol. My brothers getting married in Lake George so Im gone that weekend.

Keep an eye open in here for more info as the dates come closer. I will have a 3rd and final date and location picked/posted before the second leg kicks off. This way drivers can plan.

Cant wait to drive again ...... gonna be a good summer in New England for anyone who wants to come join us!!!

Once the local schedule gets posted Ill have them picked out.


Hoping to see public dates before the middle of March

Dates are loaded in the second post - we're splitting the first two legs between CT and MA.

I'll have the third leg picked and loaded before the second leg gets here so drivers can plan and figure logistics out.

I dont have a confirmed spot picked for the last leg but I do have ideas. If anyone wants to throw their spots in just post them up here. I know some great spots but there could always be one better. Doesnt have to be CT or MA based either, could be RI or NH even.
