I think that handing out trophies and ranking people gives the impression that it is a race or competition. If both were eliminated it wouldn't matter if people cut trail markers or broke down because completing the challenge, helping others, and having fun is what it is all about; and with that said... everyone that finishes could receive a finisher's pin or something.

OH MY!

Great conversion and I love both. Is a comp a G6, hell no, but a G6 Challenge will never be a comp, either.

The RECON G6 Challenge Birthday Bash did end the year with a "BANG". On and off stages, the G6 Challenge is unlike any other genre of r/c. What makes a RECON G6 Challenge so different is YOU, the DRIVER!

What most of the comp guys that have not experience a G6 Challenge, don't "get" is the vast amount of drive time and the mandatory skills challenges and that your doing something ALL day. No line times. I think the most a person waits is a couple of minutes to be started on their next stage.

The re-cap has turned into a "year end review" and I'm told that Low Budget Productions may enter the Birthday Bash G6 vid in the Toronto Film Festival, OH MY, this is going to be good.

Enjoy the impound and rest assured, 2012 is going to be HUGE! More adventure, more challenges, more ways to have fun then ever before.

I know the future of the RECON G6 Challenge and the future is...

This right here!!!
If it really is a challenge then No trophies No podiums..Otherwise it IS a RACE..A race being called a challenge.
Great idea Mr. Kowatch!!!

I get it..But when you introduce 1st 2nd 3rd place people become competitive and they race.
If you don't think so I think you're kidding yourself.
Please tell me if it's not a competition why is there a need to have podium awards?
I think driving awards are cool but placement awards creates competition.

I think that placement awards give people something to strive for and it is a way to push your rig and yourself.

You are correct sir! People like something to "shoot" for, otherwise it's just a "scale gtg" or "trail run"!

Just because there are podium finishers and a clock doesn't make it a race!

It's just not for everybody! That's all, no big deal. Tons of people have fun and enjoy themselves so that's why we do it! I would have even LESS HAIR if we tried to make EVERYONE happy, it can't be done! If it wasn't a great format then we wouldn't be putting so many of them on and people wouldn't be copying the G6 all across the country!
