North Texas R/C Rock Crawlers Comp Info Thread
 

NTXRCC

NTXRCC is a USRCCA recognized club. For season 4 we will be holding 7 comps throughout north Texas. 4 of these comps are mandatory in order to qualify to compete in Texas State Finals where the Nationals invites will be awarded. Below are some quick links to threads that contain all of the information you need.

Rules

We enforce all USRCCA rules, for a complete list of rules, click here

We will run all 3 classes (depending on member participation). Typically we have the most competitors in the 2.2 class, followed by 1.9. Supers aren't popular in this area, but I have been told that a few members are building them. We will make all reasonable accommodations to allow you to compete with any vehicle that fits within the current USRCCA rules.

We will continue with our 2.2 Novice class this year. Click the link below for more information.

Novice Class Rules

Important Note!

All competitors will need to bring cash to the comp. You will be required to pay a $1 admin fee to get your score cards. You will also need to bring $4 per class, to pay the judge on each course $1. For example, if you are competing in the 2.2 and 1.9 classes, bring $9. If only the 2.2 class, $5. If all three classes, $13. Judges supplies will be provided for everyone to use.

Looks good "thumbsup". Nice job Whoodie.

Correct, although we can fit comps in on the 3rd Saturday since the CTX season won't start until January. When we run 8-10 comp seasons, we start running into issues of going to the same spot more than once or twice. Just something to think about.

Some people have issues with a 1 week notice when we reschedule comps due to their employment. More than likely we will continue to drop the comp from the season if the weather forces us to cancel a comp.


My pleasure, glad you appreciate it. Keep in mind that not all big events have been added to the schedule (Goldendale, Nats, etc...)

Do you guys have any idea when a location for the first comp will be selected. I am new to crawling, but I am interested in coming out. I don't have my rig to the point that I am sure I want to compete, but I would like to come out.

Also if I do get everything ready what would I need to do in order to compete?

Thanks

I have a few ideas on where the 1st comp will be, I'll finalize the location this week. For future reference, keep all talk about a comp in it's individual thread. This keeps everything organized on the forums. Here is the link to the comp 1 thread.

I highly encourage you to come out, we have a lot of seasoned veterans who are more than happy to help out if you need it. What truck do you have?

The comps are free, I organize all this in my free time. Similarly all the members of the club chip in and help. As a first timer we're not obligating you to anything, so just come out and have fun!

I have an AX10 with quite a bit of up grades, but I would like to get a fastback chassis and a few other goodies before it will be comp worthy.

I am planning to come. Are kids welcome? I have 3 yr old son and a 4 yr old daughter. My wife works on weekends so they would most likely need to come with me, or spend some time with grandparents.

Thanks

It looks like they are letting water out of whitney lake to work on the dam.
The watet is getting low enough I saw rock again,still needs to drop another 3-5' I think to really open up the lines.

I'll do my best to keep an eye on the rocks.Once the water in low enough we should really try to work it in the schedule for a comp,or at the very least
a good gtg.

drove over the lake this morning,and again at 4pm,the water is definatly droping,FAST.

If it keeps droping like this the water will be low enough by sat-sun I think.

Sweet!

went over to check out the actuall location yesterday.
the water isnt as low as I was hoping,on my side of the lake the water is shallower,and is nearly dry. Here the water eeally needs to drop another 5' for a awesome comp spot. right now you have limited lines,and if the truck rolls down,its wet.

both sides of the dam have lines that are open now,not worthy of a long drive though. akso the work they are doing on the dam has an awfull smell.
Headach and hard to breath kinda smell,so that sux.

I would say the water is probably droping about 4" a day
thats alot,if there is no real rainfall this spot should open up very soon.

The current schedule shows we are still on for january,is that correct?

Yes "thumbsup"

so 7 comps now instead of just 6?

Has a location been selected for Comp 3 in January? Being a novice, I'd like to be able to get a look at it ahead of time.
