Which location offers the most diverse terrain? It'd be cool if there were rock, mud and hill sections. |

Farm. It has more rock, more hills, more trails, more land, gravel, sand, mud (if wet), etc..

I'll have a newborn, I can't attend ECC this year. We decided the date back in December and there wasn't a conflict then. Luckily I don't have the feeders attached to me so I have some flexibility to host something in town.

Yeah, scale GTG trail run. Another thread about it in the Missouri section. It may be brushed, not sure. I'll have to test the terminal resistance at a few loads to see if brush saturation shows up, I'm not good enough to visually tell the difference yet. |

So it's not going to be a scale comp with gates, just a run for fun.

There will be gates, but not USRCCA or SORCCA type. Just a laid back event with structured trails and extras like gravel pits, sled pull, hill climb, etc... No restrictions on what you run, as long as you have a good time! |

There will still be competing to finish the events, we just won't use judges and tennis balls. There are plenty of other ways to rank drivers without using a point based system.

Time is one way, so is a showNshine, tractor pull, and surprise bonuses. I'm not giving away the exact method of judging, its more fun that way The biggest thing is just to finish. It takes careful driving to keep a rig together for miles of loop, or a bag full of replacement parts. People that try to just hammer through the courses for the best time will be very lucky to make it in one piece. |
