mmmms...

I could do a Rock Race at least with Class 3.

Is there a way to incorporate time?
the Obstacle Course would have gates but it'd be fun to incorporate time.

C2 could run the course, I'd do it with Melons... Hera would do better.

Why not? Every minute (or maybe 30 seconds) under the time you get -5 or something?

Does anyone have pictures of there servo winch set ups with cms as well ? I'm trying to figure out a way to set up the servo winch with some kind of a fairlead on the bumper.I'd rather not just have a hole in the grill/hood with the winch line coming out.

I ran it around the side of the servo. But then again I have a custom front bumper on mine, so its a tad different.

Actually I just looked, I just run it over the top of the servo

Will I get made fun of if i just go through the hood then through this fake winch haha. That way you can't tell it goes through the hood

maybe every second equals -1... considering how small the course is.

[badhoopty]

i'd like to just focus on a simple and efficiently ran ttc thats properly scored and not complicate things by adding this and changing that. it aint like its not going to be fun or challenging.

but thats just my opinion...

I got the idea from watching that (or another) TTC video.
They came down a hill and then did a fast lap around a course that had some obstacles on it... EDIT: Obstacle Course I guess.

I don't remember exactly how we scored last year, was it 1 through 10?
I do know we didn't know exactly how to score some events like the Hill Climb.

I was thinking this year the hill climb could have 10 gates so we can mark progress points.
We could start with a little sidehill action and then head straight up and the gates would be wide.

[johnnyh66]

it's gonna be fun!
I hope it runs smooth... I had thought about trying to run a couple events at once.
Like Rubicon and then walk over to Sled Pull... to try and keep things moving along.

[badhoopty]

id add the tank trap to the list. its kinda right in between the mini rubicon and the mud bog, and pretty much what john is talking about and what i saw in the vid.

i really want to score it like everybody else with more focus on time and progression instead of how we score our normal comps with points.

For the loan I am getting, I need 3.5% down payment, which I have. My rate will be between 3.25-3.85

I am picky (having already bought a house before) I don't want to settle on something unless it has everything I want. This is gonna be the hard part.

[swezy207]

As far as the cliffs TTC goes, I think time will be an issue. In the past, it has taken most of the two days to get through the events. If this event has even more people, it will take longer. It will be nice if we go scout some new spots and have the courses marked (or on paper) before we get there so set up is quick and organized.

It will be an awesome time! I always look forward to the Cliffs!!!!

[CrawlinMike]

Sounds like if it got bigger you need to charge a small fee to participate. That way someone could be compensated to go out a couple days before and isolate the challenge spots and get a schedule made to run the entrants through. Something easy like $10 for first truck and 5 for each after that. I won't be making it up till next year probably. But look forwards to all the pics and vids if you make a go of it.

Any ideas on time frame for the cliffs ttc? In case I need a day off. Been looking forward to it.
