I am looking forward to coming!

Fishmaxx - however you decide to run the event (times, course layout, etc.) is fine with me. We all will run the same courses and have the same time to do it.

I have full faith and confidence that this will be an excellent event and one to remember. Let the battle begin!

I do not think anyone has mentioned score sheets. Are the supplied?

lowridinjuggalo · 04-09-2008, 08:32 PM

The way i see it we all have to run the same courses so if there is not enough time it is the same for everyone else

i 3rd that marcus

Guys quit worrying about the course time limits. Everyone running will have to deal with the same issues.

5 minutes is plenty of time for super hard courses. The Nationals only runs 5 minute courses. Hell sometimes here in Colorado we even cut down and run some 4 minute courses.

You don't have to rockrace, but you do have to make a good attack plan up front. Also remember there is a lot of stragety involved. Instead of spending 3 of your 5 minutes trying to miss one cone then timing out, just blast that cone, take the 10 points and finish the damn course.

If I had room, that would be in my sig.

Fishmaxx · 04-10-2008, 05:53 AM

Slight plan change!!!!!

Weather Permitting: Course building will begin Friday afternoon!

joesbruiser · 04-10-2008, 07:42 AM

I am here to tell you i just thought it would be a more peaceful event if there was a little more time to think about what you are doing. But i am still going to be there to hand everyone there ass so bring it on

Everybody also needs to realize i have a 8year old that is one hell of a driver and i hate to have him end up not giving a shit for this sport because of timing out all the damn time. Think about it for a minute all us old guys are not the future of this sport the younger crowd is.

As far as getting something caught in a skirt. Why dont you bring your ass up here to Tn and go for a ride in my true hobby and i think we will see you hide under yours.

joesbruiser · 04-10-2008, 07:55 AM

To tell you all the truth i should have built Tyler a JR Dragster instead of a rockcrawler he would have had a better chance of competing and being competitive. They have one set of rules they dont change and the format is allways the same so you know what to expect.

I wished we could, but its just not possible.

Next topic ....

Scattman · 04-10-2008, 08:11 AM

5, 8, 10 minutes, I don't care. It's the same for everybody. Not sure why it is so hard for some to understand that there are time constraints making it necessary to keep the time limits down to 5 minutes.

Never fails, at every big comp there are complainers before it even starts.

JasonInAugusta · 04-10-2008, 08:25 AM

Honestly...anyone that's been to the large comps knows that five minutes is plenty of time - especially with the level of competitors that will be showing up.

If your only crawling experience is with your AX-10 I can see where you'd want more than five minutes.

Rockcrawler · 04-10-2008, 08:52 AM

I agree Fish. It would not be so bad if it was not brought up at the last minute though.

Fish, what about the score sheets? Do we need to bring them?

Like JIA said thats the way every Major comp in the last 2 years has been ran like that...I just ASSUMED everyone knew that, and thats my mistake cause you know the say when you assume something
