i dont need to think hard why i didnt get an invite. by looking at the list of drivers its easy to see whos friends with who, if things were done fairly, and you could only limit the event to 60 people, it should have been the first 60 to sign up and pay, or not limit the event at all. its all good, im not worried i didnt get an invite, im in this hobby to have fun, "Anyway, at 7pm MT tonight you'll have your chance to sign up." thank you jason i appreciate the chance, ill be on at 7. maybe after some of us new englanders hold some competitions you guys will see us noobs want to have fun and compete and do GTG's just as much as you, and we dont want to be left out in the dark just because we havent been around as long.

thats all no hard feelings

The New England guys don't have comps, just get togethers. We chose people based upon comp finishes, not because we know them. No one recieved any special treatment when it came to this event. Even the guys planning the event had to go through the same steps as everyone else to register.

Like you stated, start having comps and/or a series, people will get invited.

BrandonW · 07-12-2006, 10:30 AM

thats good to hear bender. yeah, we want to start holding some competitions in this area so hopefully we will be a forced to be reckoned with at next years event.

TwistedXT · 07-12-2006, 10:38 AM

who knows.. next year could be even bigger... more courses and more rigs competing.

maybe even an A, B, and C class based on your yearly point structures...

A main guys are king of the hill - extremely hard courses
B main guys are pretty darn good - crazy courses
and C Main guys are not quite as serious but still great in thier field - challenging courses

(Just an idea... thats the way R.O.A.R. does it... minus the different tracks)

If you dont have comps/clubs in your area... start your own club, hold your own comps, look around, some of these guys drive hundereds of miles just to compete. You might be surprised on how many people show up... put up flyers at local hobby shops... and dont forget to post up the points standings in for your area in rccrawler.com, but be sure to be in compliance with the USRCCA comps rules book with your comps so that way everyone understands your points structure.... that and its the USRCCA Nationals... not joe blow points structure nationals.

I see that 90% of the initial invites went to folks who have been in the crawler scene since the rage really started back in '03. I think it's about time for the old timers/vets/creators of the crawlers to have an event like this... us old timers should get first dibs on going, how else would you start off the first event of this size anyway? With a bunch of n00bs?

dezfan · 07-12-2006, 10:45 AM

Well just to clarify, I got an invite and I know exactly 1 person on either list.

So the whole only "friends" got an invite thing is BS.

"us old timers should get first dibs on going, how else would you start off the first event of this size anyway? With a bunch of n00bs?

"

i totally disagree and i hope that invites were based on merit like bender stated.

Sunday will basically be an all day get together. The final course for the comp will be ran in the morning, then we'll just crawl for the rest of the day. Everyone is invited to attend that, as well as watch the comp.

I am sorry you feel that way, but you couldn't be farther from the truth.

hmmm, the first to pay. How does that bring together the best competitors from across the country. I guess it would have been cool to have the press release say, "See 60 of the first guys to sign up, go for the glory"

hmmm, not limit the event at all? That would have been fun, we could have all ran 1 course with a 1 minute time limit.

I wish you luck, however my guess is that no matter who gets the spots I'll be blamed for giving them to one of my friends, or pulling strings for someone

So with your reasoning I should be able to get a group of my friends together and start a football team. Then I should just be able to call the NFL and let them know that my new team will be playing in the superbowl this year. Sorry we don't want to have to play the season, playoffs?, no thanks we'd just like to show up for the big game.

Does that make sense?
