Default G6 at Honchos House Aug 23rd

Hey guys!

So we are going to do another g6 night run at my house on August 23 start time is 7 7:30. I know that is the weekend of ECSC, but some of us aren't going and we still deserve to have some fun .

So this will be a night run so lights are mandatory. There will be a 5$ fee to run. I'm still not sure if I'm gonna make food again or not I will decide the closer we get to the event date.

Address: 1409 shoman st
Waterford mi 48327

Rules:

#1.) No Hand of God (H.O.G) If your tuck rolls over the only way it can be put back on its wheels is to be pulled winched or pushed over by another truck. This keeps it scale and forces people to drive their rig smart. ****This is the most important rule.***

This is how the real G6 guys do it

#2.) Gates must be run in numerical order and in their intended direction. The number of gates can range any where from 25 to 50 gates.

#3.) Night runs...Lights "must be attached to your vehicle". a pocket flashlight is ok to use for repairs, winching, recovery.

#4.) Two tires must pass between a gate in order to make "progress" to the next gate. We are not keeping score but this makes it fair for everyone. If you can not progress a gate on your own a buddy can pull or winch you through a gate.

#5.) Have fun. This is more of an adventure than a race, but it is fun to see who can out drive everyone and finish first.

#6.) A tow strap with hooks is mandatory for every vehicle. This can be made with a shoe lace and some hooks from the hardware store for about $5 dollars.

**Be prepared:**

Tow strap with hooks
Spare parts
Extra batteries/charger
Bug spray/suntan lotion
Tools/pocket flashlight
show up ready to run


All trucks are run by tire size, by far the most popular is 1.9 class. Trucks are started smallest tire size to biggest 30 to 60 seconds apart. We have done two man teams, we can run three man team....what ever the group decides. Really no requirements other than what is mentioned above. The point to all this is to hang out have a good time and run scale trucks.

No real limit as to what you can run as far as truck, motor or whatever....this may change as things move on and the group decides to limit something.

Show up ready to run! Plan to run two or three 20+ gate courses.

See you guys soon
Lee

Might need to add a rule for repairs as far as on course or in the pits.

What about a scenario box or bucket, placed at a gate. you will draw a card that may say "Change flat tire" "roll over recovery" "engine trouble wait 60 seconds"







any thoughts......

Oh yeah, we need to come up with all kinds of random stuff. No one would come if they found out they had to spin the "wheel of death"......

I'll have the grill warm .

So I just got done mowin the lawn, so it's now time to start setting up gates. I bought 25 more flags so it's going to be close to 50 gates. The weather is looking good so this should be a blast

And anyone coming from the west on m-59 watch your speed thru white lake
