| ~~ MNRCRC Comp #5 - Aug 2nd, 2015 - Taylors Falls ~~ MNRCRC Comp #5 Date: August 2nd Location: @ Interstate state park in Taylors Falls Time: Set-up begins approx. 9am and the comp starts around 10ish We plan on starting at 10 for 2.2 Pro so be sure to leave plenty early. Classes will be run in this order. In order to keep things moving, when each class starts, set your rigs at the starting gate in a line, so we know who will be running 2nd, 3rd, etc. Here is the starting order for each class. #1 runs first on course 1. #2 runs first on course 2. #3 listed in case someone can't make it. 2.2 Pro 1. Barry 2. Kevin (pimp) 3. Josh 2.2 Trail 1. Barry 2. Dana 3. Chuck 1.9 Trail 1. Barry 2. Greg 3. Dustin As always, helping with course setup or cleanup is appreciated. The results from last week can be found here. Detailed local rules for the rigs can be found here. No rig will be turned away. The number 1 goal is to have fun. If possible we'll help you get your class into "the rules" but we want anyone to come out and have a good time playing with their "toys" (NOTE: a Summit or Yeti XL might struggle fitting through 16" gates, but it'd be fun to see it try) 1.9 Trail Class Get your SCX10 or TF2 ready. Any rig with a 1.9 (or smaller) scale tire is welcome. 2.2 Trail Class New this year is a dedicated 2.2 trail class. That's right, got a 2.2 wraith, deadbolt, or scx10? We finally have a class for you!!!! Make sure you have some scale tires. Don't be using cheater tires...Bill 2.2 Pro And, as always, we will have the 2.2pro class. Anyone not familiar with the rules of this class or the rules in general can check out this link HERE. Pro rigs include any MOA or sportsman rig (including dig) on a comp chassis with comp tires. SCORING Because as we have been doing in the past, and it has been working out very well, we will share the judging duty's. 1st--- you will time and call out penalty's for the person before you. This will give you an opportunity to see the course before you run. 2nd--- you run the course. 3rd--- you will score for the person behind you. I would encourage anyone not comfortable with the rules to ask for help! I would also like to see everyone take the judges test HERE. Fees: -MN State Park parking permits are required, but are available at the park for either a daily pass for $5 or a year pass for $25 (good at any MN state park). Season passes can be purchased ahead at places like REI -Also there is a club fee of $3 per comp or $30 for the series. Females and young kids run for free. Ask for Kevin (nicklepimp) Directions:(map) From the South: Take I-35 north. Take the Taylors Falls Exit, Hwy 8 East. Follow 8 approximately 22 miles. The entrance to the park office is located on the right hand side of the road at the only stop light in Taylors Falls. Stay to the right as you enter the parking lot. From the North: Take I-35 south. Take the North Branch Exit, Hwy 95 East. Drive approximately 22 miles, passing through downtown Taylors Falls. At the stop light (intersecting hwy 8 ) continue straight. Stay to the right as you enter the parking lot. From the East: Take Hwy 8 west into Minnesota. After crossing the St Croix River, turn left at the first stop light. Stay to the right as you enter the parking lot. If there are some new people that haven't been to an event yet, just look for all the middle aged kids playing with toy trucks! (Sandwich board signs coming soon....) Last edited by dna4engr; 07-21-2015 at 10:18 AM. |

They are a great tire. I run them on my FJ40 and they kill it on almost any surface except wet ones. | |

Are Axial Ripsaws "scale" tires? Or should I run my Pit Bull rock beast 2's on my wraith for the 2.2 trail class? I like both, but I think the Ripsaws might work better for me.

You'll be fine running either one so bring them both and do a little testing you'll get two courses per class.

Looks like you guys had some fun judging by the pictures in the other post. Wish I could have made that one.. But I got stuck at the house. My youngest just turned seven, and decided it was time to torched my wife and I with a all girls sleepover. I may never recover..... That is all.
