Your welcome to run as many times as you want once we are finished, but as far as the competition one rig only, so I would choose your most capable one.

Just a question of curiosity (since I'm definitely going to compete ), is there going to be any parts of the courses that are going to submerge a rig in water? Im definitely waterproof except for an axial NVS box that I have hidden to be somewhat splash proof but not completely waterproof. I love running in water (which I can definitely see that awesomeness happening) but not really wanted to submerge it too deep (at least not past the top part of the doors on my wraith). And I'm also excited to show a rear snorkel that I've made that actually works for air cooling the motor consisting of a fan enclosed by the snorkel for intake and another fan in the passenger compartment for pulling out exhaust (hot) air. The entire engine compartment is nearly fully sealed with the intake fan for the snorkel located under the passenger side completely sealed to not allow water in to damage the fan but still pull in air through the snorkel. Pretty cool design in the process I'm excited to share because I figured a functioning snorkel would be pretty cool

Rowdy posted this a couple of pages back, so you should be good to go.

Unless you get waaaaay off course the water is not more than 1/2 a tire deep in the intended routes.

Im so stoked! :-)

Just reposting the scoring structure for the new guys to check out.

We will use modified USRCCA rules, 60 point point out (once you accumulate 60 points your run is no longer scored but you can continue to drive until your time expires), -2 for progress, 10 points for hitting gates, 1 point for each reverse, 5 points for rollovers, low score wins. We will also be using the 20 point carry rule, once you accumulate 20 points attempting a gate or if you choose to take the 20 point penalty before attempting a gate you can bypass that gate.

[hippyman88]

Thanks for posting point rules. Pretty straight forward. Just wishing it was Friday :-) Gonna be a road trip for me to come there and I can't wait. So worth it for meeting other crawler friends, seeing other's rigs, and the views of what nature really has to offer.....priceless. ...

Lets see some rigs, what's everyone bringing?

[hippyman88]

I'd post a pic of my rig but I dont have a url to it I'd have to upload it from my phone :-( bummer... but I can say I'm bringing a poison spyder wraith driven by hippyman and his dog Jed. Too many details to list y'all will see at the comp. Still super duper excited!

Converted my 2.2s rig. Run of the mill scx10 for the most part. Xr/wraith steering up front, standerd scx steering in back. 1.9 baja claws streached onto 2.2 vp wheels
