Gates and Time qustion

[mystic122468]

Hey guys, Just a quick question.. How many gates are on a typical competition course and what is the time aloud to complete it?

Thanks!

That's all up to the course builder and depends on the location and drivers present. I guess a run of the mill comp might have 10 gates per course and around 5 minutes to complete it. Of course that can be adjusted to suit the capabilities of the drivers present and to adjust for different locations. For instance one location might be difficult to walk on, and as a result difficult to navigate with the crawler so you might add another minute or so to the clock for that.

It's up to the course designers and race directors.

When I comp'ed, it was 8 gates and 8 minutes.

Anything less than 5 min is stupid.

Thanks for the input!

Anything less than 5 min is stupid.

:ror:

I'll add to that...anything requiring more than a brisk paced walk is stupid.

We generally do 10 gates avg 6 min

We generally do 10 gates avg 6 min

We (GSRCRC) also do 10 gates in 5-6 minutes.

We at (SSRCC) generally run 10 gates @ 5 min. but when the finals course is set up we sometimes add bonus gates and add a min or two to the time.
It truly is up to the course designer or event coordinator. "thumbsup"

We (WARCRC) do 10 gates with two bonus gates at 6 mins for all classes.

I agree with 10 gates and 6 min. Itty's point is my problem. Walking the terrain to wheel. I'm no freekin athlete. Ha! That extra minuet is good news!

we average 15 or so gates at around 12 mins, give or take.
