Default Rule info

As stated in the USRCCA rules, we are allowed to make amendments to the rules for each event based on the needs for that event.

For this event here are the things that are gonna be done.

-We will not be using the 20 points max per gate, then bypass rule. We are here to find out who is the best crawler, if you cannot drive it, you won’t make it.

-We will only allow 1 off course repair per course per driver. During the finals course, there will be no off course repairs allowed. Any repairs made during the finals will be done with the clock running.

-Tie scores will be broken by course 4, then 3, then 2 then 1.

-To make things interesting the finals course max points will be changed from 40 to whatever the points spread from 1st to 5th is rounded to the highest 10. If that number is less than 40, 40 will be used. This allows the chance for anyone in the top 5 to have a chance at victory.

Axshully, by the definition of the rules your post should read like this Jason.^

How are the max points handled per stage? Is it a max of 40 or keep going until you run out of time?

Yes, 40 points or time out (also 40 points) whichever comes first on each stage.

Thank you for ditching this rule, I was not looking forward to keeping tabs on that.

I think running more courses better than everyone else makes you the best. I'm not taking up for JIA or Gatekeeper or who ever. But if these guys are good enough to get a big lead great. The rest of us should not cry and want things set up so we can catch up on one lousy course. It is not fair to the guy in the lead, who has excelled early and has the lead. It's just not right!!!
I see your side Warren, but most people feel it will bring more excitement into the finals if everyone had a chance to pull it off.

If you go into the finals with a 46 point lead, we are not taking that away from you, you will still have that lead.

I have a question about side panels.

The rules say solid side panels...
Does that mean I can't run a fireplace screen mesh as side panels?

How much needs to be covered?

Thank you,
WC

Solid means SOLID, not a mesh material.

Not trying to be a dink, but what about fiberglass and fiberglass cloth.

It would be solid and painted with no holes.

You know... Like some of the fullsize guys run.

Only reason I ask is I have built boats before from scratch and can work with it pretty well, its light weight, and most of all, I have it already.


So, Good to go on the fiberglass boss man?

Lexan is what most people use for the panels on their tubers so fiberglass or lexan should be just fine.

Question

I'm not arguing the mesh vs "solid" lexan or fiber glass , but is the rules that way just to make the tubers look more like full scale ?
