| ~~MNRCRC 2016 Scale Event #2 - Quarry Hill - Rochester - July 10th ~~ Date: Sunday July 10th, 2016 Time: Setup starts around 11:00 AM, G6 starts at 12:00AM Location: Quarry Hill - Rochester https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid...41d9494a&msa=0 What: G6 trail competition and U4 Race. We run rain or shine so if the weather looks like it might rain, bring some good boots/shoes and a jacket along with a plastic bag to cover your radio. The course is wooded, but rain will still get through. EVENTS:
Be sure to check back often to see the changes and revisions. G6 RULES Classes: 1.9 and 2.2 Rigs
Rule #2 – A stage is directional and a driver must maintain the intended direction of travel. Reversing through the trail marker in the intended direction is ok. Don't miss any trail markers!! Rule #3 – HAVE FUN! Penalties Trail Markers [+30 sec] –A driver may not straddle or drive over a trail marker. A driver must get all 4 tires through the trail marker. If a driver dislodges a trail marker or steps on a trail marker, that driver is responsible for putting that trail marker back in to position. All trail markers must be traveled through. Any trail marker hit will result in 30sec penalty added to the total time Penalty Winch [+1 min] In the case that there is not a competitor there to help you with a pull strap, or you do not have a working electric winch, then you may employ the penalty winch. The penalty winch is a scale tow strap, lanyard, or winch line that you would operate with your hand acting as another vehicle to extract your stuck rig. The idea is to act as though your hand is another vehicle and pull the stuck or rolled over vehicle out of its situation in a “scale manner”. It is always best to use an onboard working electric winch, or use a tow strap with the assistance from another competitor. Use of either of these methods does not result in a penalty. Once a penalty winch (self used tow strap) is employed, it will be necessary remember how many times you had to use it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=K4D9fHcwPE0 G6 works on the honor system. All Drivers will be on stage, driving at the same time. We are out here to have FUN and have it be like a 1:1 trail ride. You are timing yourselves and you need to try and remember how many gates you hit or penalty (hand) winch occurrences you had. No one is policing it, just do your best. On Course Etiquette - Some folks will be trying for the best time and many will be just out to crawl on some truly awesome terrain. There will be open areas to pass. However some tough obstacles will be a bottle neck (just like in 1:1). Don't be a d!ck and drive over people or tell them to get out of the way. Use your rig to help them get through a tough obstacle and then once you get to a clearing...pass them U4 Races - After all the trail running it's time for SPEEEEED! (imagine Jeremy Clarkson's voice). Bring your Yeti's, bring your 4S lipo packs, hell bring your 4x4 sct (not sure how it'd do with rocks on the course but wth) - We'll set up an impromptu track and run 1.9 and 2.2 rigs. If there are enough yeti's and solid axle 2.2 we can split them up. Otherwise they run together. - This is a great event for yeti's, wraiths, rock bouncers, twin hammers, even an scx10 that is set up to go a little fast. Looking forward to another great event. It's worth the drive for an amazing day of RC and having fun Last edited by dna4engr; 06-29-2016 at 11:26 AM. |

I'm in and this time I mean it! Yeti is ready and the Wraith is coming along too. The 1.9 SCX10 is not ready but I'm going to have lots of questions on body mounting ideas. |
