| Plannign the next TTC
Ok, this TTC in my opinion was not a hard as the last. There were just too many people getting 10's. The foot system worked on some courses, but timed is the best, I think. The rock course was hard, but I think it was better using the rocks that are already there. The tank trap/ mud pit was good as always, but there was too much water, we needed a more thick mud, with maybe a good hole that has water in it, and maybe alittle longer with more hills. The obstacle course.......wasn't hard other than the last obstacle. The tonka truck was good, but we needed more weight, and we need to but it on a smooth surface that has a gradual upward slope half way and on. The hill climb was weak, everyone basically made it. Anyway any opinions or advice on the next ttc put it here, and we need to make a better score sheet. I'll volunteer since I like doing that stuff. |

working on an idea for the next pit. the mud was quite watery, it settled fast. I'll have to make a few small trial pits in different spots to find the best spot. timing all coarses is definatly the way to go. Last edited by flatfender; 10-28-2009 at 09:03 PM. |

What you no likey my score sheet That was just thrown together at the last min it was left over from the first one. My suggestions: Some events need to be timed not necessarily all Definitely harder events the obstacle course would have been ok if timed and no sandbag I agree completely on the tonka pull although this was fun to watch before it flattened out The hill climb would have been better if I grabbed the tiller out of the truck and softened it up a bit easy fix next time Possibility of food and drinks if its going to be that big next time we can make a break in the middle for fixing and eating I think maybe the rock climb last so people don't lose interest and start leaving before the good stuff or eliminate it completely Less water in the mud hole but the consistency on the bottom was good though |

| debary fla the contest was excelent ,the hill climb was to easy the rock was ok, the pull truck should be more of a flat area and going on an incline ,the opticle coarse was to easy,the mud pit was to much water ,i got an ideal we need to get some red clay with the right amount of water should be more slippery and muddy looking ,it wont settle so quick like sand mud does,well ill be waiting for the next comp ,had a great time |

I could bring 10 gallons of black lake mud, it stopped most trucks that I had, mix it up right, and it'll stop anything.

We're going to need a LOT more then just 10 galons. How many buckets can you fit in you truck with the back seat folded down? Or I know your work has those nice plastic 8 gallon crates that are stackable, you could seal them with duct tape to help the smell. | |

their is a place here in lakeland that would be good for just about anything but the rock pit as it has very few rocks. it does have some pretty steep sand hill climbs some are hard packed and some are soft sand. its a old phosphate mine so the mud is and gooey in places (watch out for gators).

Good idea Matt, should be interesting with no winching (except for the trail run).
