| Colorado Rally Championship
Well we just started our 3rd season of the Colorado Rally Championship here in Colorado. I thought it would be good to share our rules, photos and videos with the rest of the community here. So here are our rules for the 2014 series. Quote: Last edited by TURTLE; 10-20-2013 at 10:36 PM. |

Nice looking red Evo 10. Wouldn't mind seeing how he did the mudflaps. I have them, but wouldn't trust driving with mine.

Great Photos. Love the mini trophy trucks, I wish I had bought one when they were still available.

(just a thought) If I was Vaterra, I'd try to fill the mini trophy void. Everyone seems to enjoy the Vaterra brand thus far, and those mini trucks were pretty popular for HPI. Why did they D/C the mini trophy trucks? Did they not sell enough? Awesome pictures ty! This one made my jaw drop. Totally awesome view. |

To give some insight to our scoring methods, first we use an app. called "Bracket Buddy" and on race day let it do all the work. Pretty simple so far then We organize it like this: If you have the same place it means you had the same number of wins as the other person of that place and you both got out in the same bracket. Your place transfers to series points on the series totals, which I will post after the second race of the series. If there are any questions about this please ask. Hope that makes sense for everyone wanting to give this a go. |

I thought I read on here somewhere the screen name of two people who could make stickers with my car number on it. For the life of me, can't seem to find that post. Just finished building an XV-01 pro and got an E30 M3 body for it. Can't wait for the next race! Gotta get my lights. :-) |

Hey Ty, What is the appox. size of your track? and can you drive it without "chasing" your vehicle? What are your lap times like? I have been toying the thought of a traveling series for rally similar to Parkers G6. I really love the euro style events and would love to see it catch on here in the US. My idea is to find a good spot, and set up a rally stage event for a day of racing. Run it one direction for first stage, then reverse for second. Third stage would be both directions consecutively. Or change the layout a little in between. Just trying to figure out how much area you would need to make a decent track without much vehicle chasing. |

Race 1 video please enjoy... sorry no music This video is is intended to be played with the song "Ways to Go" by Grouplove. If you start the song at 0:15, just after seeing the bear, it will sink up with the video. Grouplove - "Ways to Go" [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO] - YouTube |

All the tracks we currently have in Colorado are single position tracks, I.E. no chase style driving. Laps are between 40-60 seconds with the Group B cars. With Roughly 27 corners per lap of the track and at HOON470 we run 3 laps. Other shorter tracks we will run 5, but never more because we loose count. We are planning to have one of the rallies this season as a stage event. The plan is to build one pretty long stage and run it forward, backward, then forward, then backward again. Attempting to make the stage 10-15 minutes each way. We will see though its a lot of work to build what I am think and there is maybe 10% of it done as of right now. A traveling series would be a lot of fun, but I think rally is still somewhat in its infancy and needs another year or 2 of growth. But advertise, advertise, advertise. Promote it in anyway you can to help it grow. From local events, to bugging top manufactures to make cars. It helps! | ||
