Default TORRCC Event Series

Preliminary Dates:


May 25th Huxman Bridge. Hill Climb and rock course to damn
Water here will be part of fun crawl/bash after competition
June 22nd 6th & Macvicar Rock Crawl at Children's park
July 20th Echo Cliff Rock Climb, Possible hill climb, trail to top
August 10th 2nd Annual TORRCC Challenge at Dornwood Park
This event will be similar to last year.

The series of events above will be scored and points will accumulate until the August 10th event. Rules to follow in a later post.

Regional event promoters- Please contact me if some of these conflict with something you had planned. I am happy to shift things around as best as I can so that the Kansas scaler crowd gets their maximum scale fix in 2014!

I am still trying to work out details for a truck pulling event as well as incorporating pulling sleds into the above series and TORRCC Challenge. This may be required for the event or it may just be there to let people try it.

TORRCC will be using SORRCA scale rules for these four events. http://www.sorrca.com/rules.php

More info after the G6!

I would like to do this series, but i all matters on if I have someone to ride with. If any of you MKRCRC members plan to attend all events, let me know.

This may end up getting postponed due to weather. I will keep my eye out and likely make that decision by Friday.

I think it would be best if I move the date for the May 25th event. With the forecast calling for rain and storms each day until then the creek will be pretty high. Its supposed to rain Sunday too. We could do the 8 of June or early July.

Reminder that the June 22 event is this Sunday. There is a 40% chance of rain. I canceled the last one due to the weather forecast and it was a beautiful day so I'm going to let this one ride. If there is some sort of down pour Sunday morning I will cancel it. Otherwise I hope to see some folks out!

Thanks to all who made it out. It was a blast! Check out the Topeka Off Road Radio Control Club on Facebook for the video that Travis shot. I'm not sure if Travis is on RCC but he put together some great video. Also thanks to Al for the trophies. Other thanks go out to Jared's dad, Sam, Stephen, and Al for helping to time and score while I was building other courses.

So as I said we have some trophies donated and fabbed up by AL. He gave us a Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 trophy for the winners of each event to hang on to until the next event. At the end of the series the points winner in each class will get to keep the trophy permanently. We have two more trophies for the most scale rigs (determined by scale points) in 1.9 and 2.2. If its a 1.5 rig that scores the highest I will have to figure something else out.

Our next event is at 46th and Huxman road just West of Topeka. This is the make up event from May. The area has a large hill that we will do work on as well as a rocky course from the bottom of the hill over to the man-made dam. There is water on and around the dam. I won't include any deep water as part of the course but I do plan on at least getting tires wet! Let me know if you have questions. See you there!

edit: directions to this location are in the 8th post.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!! This Sunday is the Huxman event! Take the class win and you get an awesome trophy until the next event, (as long as you will be at the next event so that the winner of that can take it as well :0) ). These were made by Big AL from Manhattan. The final event will have all the scores tallied from the 4 events to determine the season winners and they get to keep the trophies.

Go out in the alley and bundle up some sticks to count as another accessory on your rig and get those scale points. Glue in that driver to the seat in your dingo! They do make a difference in your over all times. Total time + Point penalties, (a positive number) - progress points ,(a negative number), - scale points ,(a negative number), determines your course score. One driver had 20 seconds worth of scale points!! They count on each course too.

We managed 3 courses in our last outing and I'll shoot for at least that many for the Huxman event.

I am moving the next event, July 27th, to July 20th due to my new work schedule after my promotion. The Echo Cliff event is now on the 20th. That's next Sunday. I hope everyone can make it.
