We will be hosting our first invitational comp on Sunday, April 12 on the indoor course at Battle Front Gaming and R/C in Grandville, MI.

Doors will open at 8:00 and Crawling will start at 10:00.

$20 for first entry and $10 for each additional (Trophies and pizza included)

1.9 and 2.2 classes will conform to USRCRCA rules.
We will consider running a 2.2 limited/stock class (no digs) if there is enough interest.

Event details will be added and questions addressed between now and the event.

Sounds good to me, include me in that class, "the NO dig class"

My course events dont have rules such as you. were all down here with basic trucks. only one guy here has a dig unit

I'll have to compete in that class.

That is why we opened up the option for that class. We're pretty much the opposite as far as dig equipped rigs. See you guys on the 12th.

did anyone realize this is Easter SUNDAY
OK LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE THE 26TH NOW
THANKS GUYS

I have completed an individual entry form/score sheet for everyone to print off and fill out prior to the comp on the 26th (Linked above). You will use one score sheet per vehicle/class. They will be available the day of the comp as well so you don't have to fill one out early if you don't want to.

Also there were a few topics we touched base on last weekend in our club meeting and they are as follows. For general club rules discussed in the club meeting refer to this link. http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showpost.php?p=2780017&postcount=176

• Donuts for breakfast and hot dogs throughout the afternoon will be given away to anyone who wants them. Drinks and other snacks are available for purchase at the track. There are also several food places around if you’re interested. See one of the locals for directions.

• As posted before we will be using the 2008 USRCCA rules, with some club modifications linked above.

• There will be a drivers meeting prior to the first run. I’m thinking it will be around 9:30am or so. After the drivers meeting there will be the random draw for starting order for each class. I will be getting a deck of cards and writing numbers on them for starting order. The cards will be shuffled and you will come up one by one and take the top card. The card number will be your starting order for the first run. For every run after that lowest scored competitor goes first.

• The first two courses will be the same (3-5 gates), only run in different directions. One idea we are throwing out is for the third run to have the out of town guys set up that course. It will be further discussed in the drivers meeting. The fourth and final course will be fought out between the top five drivers in each class. It will also be a longer course (8-10 gates) that may be more difficult. Time limits for each course will be one minute per gate, plus one minute for the start and finish gate for the first three courses. The final course will be one minute per gate, plus three minutes.

• As for the two 2.2 classes (Comp and Stock). The course will be adjusted as necessary to allow for fewer headaches for the stock class. Two different color chalk outlines around the gates will be used to easily adjust the course for each class.

• The 1.9 class runs on its own course not affected by the 2.2 courses.

• One of our club members (Nate) will be in charge of “prizes” for the competitor. For instance for every rollover a competitor gets he/she receives one tootsie roll, and the person with the most at the end of the day gets the rest of the bag. Also the overall winners, best breakage, top qualifier and so forth will receive specific “prizes”. They will be listed and available the day of the comp.

• And most importantly is for everyone to have a good time. I look forward to meeting a bunch of new people and getting out to their courses this summer. If anyone has any further questions please post them here, PM myself or John Demeester (TDevil), or call John at the number listed on the flyer.

There will also be some pretty unique Trophies handed out for the top three finishers in each class.

Last update I swear. Tire additives. Tire additives are allowed, with one exception. Under no circumstance will any type of glue or adhesive be allowed as traction compound. Only items specifically sold as traction compound or household cleaning products will be allowed as tire additives. Simple Green, Paragon, Buggy Grip, etc.. will be allowed. Spray glue, contact cement, etc.. will not

Are we going to be doing any setup/prep parties, Friday or Saturday night? Is there anything else that needs help getting ready before the competition? Was there anymore developments this weekend?

I can't wait until Sunday!

:hat:

Fri night maintenance has been moved to Sat at 5:00pm, to ensure the course is ready for the Sun comp.

Will there be any practice time before courses are set-up or a area where we can ?

Will there be any areas to practice on Sunday morning?
Do we need to bring chairs?

I will let the guys answer on the practice question.

Plenty of pit tables with power and chairs. Just bring yourself and your equipment.

Will there be any practice time before courses are set-up or a area where we can ?

There will be open practice for our guests from 8:00am to 9:30am. Certain sections of the course will be off limits, do to the instability of the rocks on some of the obstacles.

thank you :thumbsup::thumbsup:

maybe little swap meet this weekend?

Go ahead and bring anything you want to sell... basically people will put things in there pit area with a note saying what they are asking. I know I personally have bought a couple bodies from guys. :thumbsup: Just don't bring all of Tower Hobby inventory. HAHAHA!

I got a small ton of ax-10 stuff and some one run tires
radios
motor lathe
just a small tote full
thanks I wil bring it

Ok Guys
