TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka This event is postponed one week. It will be held on Sunday the 11th due to the rain we are supposed to get all day tomorrow. I'm sorry if this means you can't make it out. I will still be at the trail head for anyone who can only make it tomorrow. I will have a few prizes to give out randomly as well. We will run the whole course if weather permits. Well I spoke with the parks department and things are looking good.

Challenge Rules These courses are designed to be challenging to drivers. Some gates are designed for all but the most practiced drivers to brush against them! If someone scores a perfect score then I didn’t do the job I set out to do- which is make a challenging yet fun filled day of scale wheeling!!! Reverses are allowed without penalties unless specified. Touching a gate with your rig -(10) points When/where reverse is penalized -(4) points Touching your rig -(15) points Roll over -(10) points Winching or using accessories -(2) points Gate Progress +(1/2) point Completing a Bonus Challenge +(15) points You are encouraged to assist fellow participants so that everyone scores as best as they can. Hauling Challenge Rules In addition to challenge rules:
I maintain the right to adjust any rule/point penalty or bonus/challenge/class as I see fit to work in any given situation. This is supposed to be a friendly get together. I am planning lots of work for everyone to come together and have a good time so please don't ruin peoples fun by trying to be a rules lawyer or a poor sport (not that this has happened in our get together's before- I'm just saying) Dornwood park is located in a residential neighborhood. I strongly recommend locking up your belongings while we are out on the trails. This is a couple months away so fire away your questions. Dee & Mee Hobbies in Topeka has offered some sponsorship. I will let everyone know how that turns out. Please go check out their facebook page if you get a chance. ~Shaun Attending: 1. Topekacrawls 1.9 class TF2 Jeep 2. Docwolf 2.2 3. Grob23 1.9 & 2.2 4.

James S. 13. Inmemory from FB group 14. 15. https://www.facebook.com/groups/190872707739282/ Still no one for the 1.5 class? I find that 1.5s here offer a unique challenge. Much of the area won't be difficult at all for 2.2s. 1.9s are a great time but I always have a memorable time when I throw the 1.5s on the Trailfinder or the dingo. Most of what we will be doing is going to be on dirt. Two portions of where I plan to run us will be mostly rock. There is one spot where you might get axle high in water. It depends on the water level of the stream. |
Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka There are going to be lots of gates and for the sake of expediency those participating will need to score themselves. Please be honest. |

Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka This sounds amazing! Though, having read all of that I'm a bit confused... I'm always the last one to understand events, but that won't stop me from trying! I can't say for sure if I'll be there or not (It's still to0 far away to tell), but I'll try my ass off to make it! |
Pending any baby related stuff I will be there Sent from my RM-845_nam_vzw_100 using Board Express |
Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka Count me in! |
Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka Sounds like an awesome time, looking forward to it! |

Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka I will have my wraith with blazer body on just for this event but don't expect me to finish well!! What are you thinking for the over sized 2.2(5.75)? |
Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka Large 2.2 tires would be in the 2.2 class since there isn't a larger class than that. I put the blurb in there so that someone with big 1.5s wouldn't have a huge advantage over someone running a scale 36" tire in the 1.5 class, and the same with regard to big 1.9s. A great big tire isn't going to help you that much here. It will in certain areas but not everywhere. Maneuverability will be more helpful in some situations. |
Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka Still waiting to see when we go on vacation. If it doesn't conflict I will be at this event . You have driven a ton of miles supporting us. I want to make your event. |
Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka I just got back from my WV trip for work so I'll be able to head over to the spot and start putting in some effort as time allows. I meet with the park manager on my day off Tuesday to go over my route to make sure it isn't going to meddle with anything the bike guys have set up. I'm planning to let him goof off with a Dingo if he is up for wheeling while working. |

Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka Well the meeting went well. I walked the course with the guy and all is good with one small exception. The impossible rock pile is gone. It has been removed from its previous spot and is not going to return. I will edit the top post to reflect this. |
Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka So did the park ranger run your dingo? And as far as the impossible rock pile I was hoping to see some people attempt it |
Re: TORRCC Challenge- Aug 4, Topeka I am sad the pile isn't there too. The guy from the county didn't run the dingo :( |
