Date: Aug 13th

Location: Chester Bowl - Duluth.

https://goo.gl/maps/1BDr76BG39S2Chester Bowl-Duluth, MN

Time: Set-up begins approx. 10:00 and the comp starts around 11ish


We plan on starting at 11 for 1.9 Trail 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.

NOTE: We start with 1.9 trail. !!NEW!! for 2017, we have the beginners/newbie class. If you're new to competition and just want to see what it's like. You will run the 1.9 course with whatever rig you bring.

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.

1.9 Trail
1. Nick
2. Adam
3. Josh

2.2 Trail

2. Aric
3. Adam

2.2 Pro

2.2 Sporty

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)

New/Beginner Class
This class if for anyone who has never competed before or is new to RC crawling all together. You run whatever rig you bring (regardless of type or tire size) on the 1.9 courses. If you start to do well and get comfortable we encourage you to move up into the other classes.

1.9 Trail Class
Get your SCX10, TRX4, MTX, HPI, Ascender, TF2, etc ready. Any rig with a 1.9 (or smaller) scale tire is welcome. Bumpers, sliders and scale tires are required. Winches are allowed with penalty

2.2 Trail Class
That's right, got a 2.2 wraith, deadbolt, or scx10? We have a class for you!!!! Bumper is required. Winches are allowed with penalty. Rear steer and Dig are allowed with one time penalty.

Make sure you have some scale tires. Don't be using cheater tires...

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 on a comp chassis with comp tires.

2.2 Sporty
Making a return for 2017 is the sporty class. These will be run on the same courses as 2.2 Pro with the USRCCA rules.

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- there is a club fee of $5 per comp or $30 for the series. Females and young kids run for free. Ask for Kevin (nicklepimp)

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!

Since this is our first time at Chester Bowl, I thought I would provide some further details of where to meet...

Park towards the beginning of the parking lot. Follow the river downstream, but stay on the same side of the river as the parking lot (north side). There is a path along side the river. If I remember correctly, it runs under the bridge. If not, simply cross the street, and take the stairs down to the path. We'll setup by the waterfall.

Hope to see everyone there!

Well boys, sadly I won't be able to make this one. I have a family thing that I didn't plan on . Take lots of pictures. I am really curious how this place looks and how it works for a comp.

Good Luck!

I'm in. Leaving Friday and bringing the whole fam damily to the water park! I'm only going to have one rig ready though, the move has been a killer on my RC stuff, broke my good radio and can't find a bunch of rc stuff...

[dna4engr]

Well simply because Chuck will be there, I'll have to come too ;)

Seriously though, it looks like I might be back in. Plans changed around here.

[diesel kawboy]

I'm excited to be back!
