2012 Scale Dash & Poker Run
 
I will attempt to out line the format here.

Check back often because its going to be a work in Progress

The rules concerning vehicles are simple "Run what you brung", and try to keep with spirit of a "Scale Event" as best as you can. If want run your sportsman truck with a Jeep body then go for it. It will help you in some place and it will hurt you in others.

The Dash aspect is a speed/timed event where fastest time wins.

There is a possibility of mud and water bonuses, but nothing risky will be required.

The Poker Run aspect will serve 2 purposes. Primary purpose to verify that drivers competed the entire course, and secondary to give those less fleet of foot a competitive challenge.

Playing cards in sealed colored envelops will positioned around the course.
Drivers must collect all the required envelopes. After finishing the course the envelopes will be opened and the driver will build his best natural poker hand.
(No duplicate cards can used. Example = 5 Aces can't be used as a hand)

What the winners win for each portion is still in development.

Suggestions and questions are welcomed "thumbsup"

I can't wait for this, so much work to get my scaler drivable in time! The format sounds cool and I like the poker part for those of us 'less fleet of foot'

Yep...no speed race! The slowest time COULD win (*EDIT* the poker run aspect)

There are 2x parts.

One part is the Scale Dash, and the other part is the Poker Run.

If your NOT interested in the speed aspect then have fun with the Poker Run part.

Take lots of drive shafts and a spare ring and pinion, or two, might not be a bad idea Farmer.
Good luck to everyone, this looks like a lot of fun.

I could run the wraith with the pro4 motor, but the f650 with a puller is probably a lot more capable and quicker than I usually feel like running ;-)

Went to LRC yesterday and planned the route for the course.

GPS says we walked 1.7 miles and we did very little backtracking.

There will be 10 card stations various distances apart up to about 300 yards.

I need to make sure I have enough card per station, so an accurate head count is very important.

and maybe add some center console stuff, make a fuel cell to cover the rear servo and something to cover the 4s lipo that powers the LED's :twisted:


This pig weighs in at the 10.5'ish lb range... good thing I have no plans to win the dash. more like leisurely stroll for me!
