Vanquish Products La Guerra en Rocas Roja Numero Tres
 

We'd like to welcome you all back to Colorful Crawlerado for the 3rd running of the Vanquish Products La Guerra en Rocas Rojo.

This years event will be held July 15th-17th, 2011, and is part of the USRCCA Championship series and a qualifier for the 2011 USRCCA Nationals.

Ticket sales are now open.

We will open entry to 60 2.2 rigs, 20 super rigs, and 20 1.9 rigs. We can move the numbers around a little bit if we need to for the 1.9 and superclasses.

From the feedback we received last year people were wanting discounts for running multiple classes. There is no way to do this that doesn't require us having to go back and issue refunds. So what we decided to do was to lower the entry fees in the 1.9 and super classes for everyone, we figure 95% of the competitors in those classes run the 2.2 class anyway.

In the years past we have limited registration to Colorado drivers, that will not happen this year, once registration goes public, it goes public for everyone.

Those with a keen eye will also notice that we added a scaler comp to the lineup this year for sundays festivities. The scaler comp will be held on the same property but in a different location. If you run the 1.9's or superclass, and the scaler comp you will be on your own as far as time management goes between the 2 events.

Here are the general rules for the scale competition.

:shock: do we have a time machine :ror:

x2. I hope I can come.

Gate !!!

Is it looking like the scale comp will hit any water? Just want to prepare with some water proofing if there is

Will there be on-site food provided by Shifter's again this year?

Probably not, there is not really any place for that to happen at Red Rocks, but we don't control the weather.

"thumbsup"

I'm there!

Thats what I thought about the water.

Good question about the rear steer

Definatly looking forward to it."thumbsup"

If you want to you are more then welcome to run rear steer.

We left the rules pretty loose so just about any rig will fit the guidelines.

You might want to bring a sweat band and camel back though.:mrgreen:

I am in, got my ticket and everything:mrgreen:

Hike, marathon , death march, whatever you want to call it.:ror:

Take it easy on the old fat guy! :flipoff::mrgreen:

This may just change my mind to go, or i may just need to highly consider going to wal-mart and buy a pair of shorts and appropriate footwear for them. :roll: I do have a camel back though, with axle straps to hold my crawler :ror:

Are we allowed to use the Camel Bak to water down the course behind us as we go?

:mrgreen:

And if Shon is bringing rear steer, then I better get busy on that new 2.2 and my RIB!

Love the format for this....can't wait!!

SWEET! Got my ticket today

They are just outside of being legal
