I think he wants to change tires and what not to be able to run 2 classes. I to have a rig that I could just change tires and be good to go. It don't do that well either way, but I like driving it.

I am more revering to the class appropriate course design comment then what truck can run in what class..

I dont know about you but I would like to go just win in class 1 with my class 2 or 3 truck on a cake walk course designed for a box stock XC..

Actually No I wouldn't, seems like cheating to me.

I'd just like to win a class.....

I know what you were referring to but you muddied it up with the shot at Pinch's rig. I don't think it matters if it's a box stock XC or an Honcho based rig, if they meet the rules they are both Class 1.

Ok yeah sloppy you did muddy things up. You combined two different questions that were intended to be answered separately.

Let me explain.
First question about class appropriate courses. At a major event I attended and juddged the C1 course I judged not one out of 50(? Can't remember exactly) rigs that ran the course finished, and most didn't even make it half way. Most were the top drivers in the nation. That course was not class appropriate.

As for the second question I posted doesn't really need explanation I think everyone knows what I'm asking. I never said that the rig would do well in all or even any of the classes, I was just asking if someone could run the same rig in multiple classes as long as they are within spec.

I agree that the Class 1 course with the log that the Utah guys judged last year was too difficult. I actually was one of maybe three that finished it. Not sure if I'm just used to tougher courses or what, but yes....it was too difficult for most people. This year at Lucia Falls it will be different.

As far as running one truck on multiple courses. I talked to Repplinger tonight and we agreed that we will allow people to run one truck in two classes but not in all three. If you want to run all three classes, you must bring at least two vehicles. This will allow some people that don't have as much money to come and compete.

Sound fair?

Yeah that sounds more then fair. Thanks for answering these Tim. I sure I wasnt the only one wanting to know these answers.

Measure from the rear of the chassis to the tip of the front bumper. If it's 3" longer than the wheelbase then you're legal for length. That to me is a borderline class 2/3 rig, but if it meets the SORCCA specs for C2 then run with it. Maybe do some inner fenders on the front to hide all the electronics and wiring?

Build thread?

[VP Dan]

ok thanks no build thread picked chassis up from nate 08 and rebuilt it .

Yes, Eric, definitely would be flying.


Regarding Dan's Jeep.... Looks to me like it's truggied (which counts as "doved", right?), it's got boatsides, and with no front fenders, it would also appear to have a doved front. Shouldn't that put it into C3?

That course did suck. Who built that course?

[fvrr]

Wow I would never have know that rig of dans would even be close to c2 ill have to read the rules a lot closer, would love my bug to be in c2 cuz I dont think I can fit a 2.2 spare in it

That would be myself and Ben. I looked a lot easier when it was dry.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but yeah. Not exactly what I picture when I hear Class 2.

Yeah, like I said......without seeing some other more detailed pictures, I can't answer that.

Looks like it has tube flat fenders to me.. Even the "boatsides" could be called sliders since it really does not have doors just flat panels..

Started a new thread for Q/A on rigs attending the event...
