719 Scalers is proud to host a Scale Series for the Southern region of our great state. Series is sponsored by The Crawl Space. This will be apart of the state wide series so surrounding areas are more than welcome to join."thumbsup"



Series Points
-This will be a points series, 1st place will receive 100 points, 2nd. 99 points, 3rd. 98 and so on.
-The driver(s) with the best score on each course will get 1 bonus point.
-There will be one "drop" for the series, ie; a drivers lowest comp score will be drop from his/her total score for the series.

Drivers wanting their scores to be tracked for the Series Scale off will have a one time $10 series pay-in to the regional coordinator. Series pay-ins will help pay for comp supplies and trophies/prizes for the region and trophies/prizes for the Scale off.

The series points are used to qualify for the Colorado All State Scale Off that will be held at the end of the series. Date and location TBD by regional coordinators and possibly put to a vote by the attending drivers.

Drivers are encouraged to attend Series comps in other regions and can be tracked in multiple regions to increase their chance to run the All State Scale Off.

Comp details:
CSS comps will use the SORCCA rules and vehicle class guidelines for each event. All vehicles must fall into SORCCA technical guidelines for classes 1, 2 and 3.
All vehicles must fall into SORCCA technical guidelines for classes 1, 2 and 3.

SORCCA info can be found here..http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/scale-comp-rules/476499-2014-sorrca-scale-rules.html

In addition to this years Scale Series we are incorporating the Trail Comp Class for all new drivers to enjoy a more relaxed competitive event, with a focus on "box stock" trucks.

Scale Comp / Trail Comp Course Design
A competition will consist of 3-5 seperate courses for each class.

A course will comprise of 10-15 gates with a minimum of 5 minutes time for completion per course. Trail Comp Class will have a minimum of 7 minutes per course.

A gate will be marked with at least 2 gate markers spaced a minimum of 16 inches apart. Arrows on the gate markers or chalk marks will denote the direction or progress through the gate.

Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 and Trail Class trucks will have separate courses.

Scale Points.
All vehicles must be teched and scale points tallied by yourself prior to the start of an event. If you questions about scale points or how to tally scale points, post up here and we will help you out.
Scale points however have nothing to do with vehicle legality, just the bonus points you will receive for the scale details of each truck you enter. Vehicles will be teched at the beginning of the day for class legality.

Trail Comp Class trucks may have scale accessories but no scale points will be applied to the drivers scores.

Regional Coordinators will determine payouts for each series comp and will be responsable for awards/trophies for their specific region at the end of the season.

The top 5 drivers in each class from each region will go on the Scale Off comp at the end of the season.

Please post up if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

First Scale Comp: Sunday October 5th, Palmer Park P12 / 9:00 am check-in 10am start! "thumbsup"

3434 Paseo Rd

This "type" of scale comp is pretty difficult. We'll run the Trail Class to help the new guys get their comp feet wet. If one takes these comps seriously and thinks before you pull the trigger. ..I guarantee that you'll advance your driving skills.

Don't miss out! Even if you don't want to run just come by and check it out. Plus you'll get to see the new Vattera Asender!
 
Looking forward to this event, if nothing else to learn how to be a better driver. Question: we are responsible for the Scale Points total prior to entering the event, is there a printable document with the points available and one we can have ready for the tech check prior to the start?

No "real" printed doc for the scale points, you can go through the SORCCA scale points list and tally them up "thumbsup"

I'll be down to help with tech the morning of, so if anyone needs help come early for pre-reg tech.
Now that doesn't mean don't tally your scale points cause someone is there to help you, its in everyone's best interest to learn how scale points works for scale comps "thumbsup"

Thanks for the response on the scale points sheet. Part of the venture will be the ability to have points ready prior to tech check-in and not having to expect others to do the pre-event requirements. I will go through the rules and have a list of points and if/when I am off, learning curve.

Thanks again. "thumbsup"
 
Big thanks to the SOCO Crawlers!....They will be presenting the TRAIL CLASS for the Southern Scale Series.

Thanks for all the help guys and let's get more people out to play in the series..pass the word on!



See you guys Sunday!!!!! P12 "thumbsup"
