[CRSMacgyver]

Good to see some new faces signed up!

[66bronco]

Will the new wheelbase rule be used or no? (Push down and then let go then measure.) Just wondering.

That's what I'm planning on. :bash:


Finally got my rig to 12.5" & now I must adjust it otherwise to accomodate the 2010 rules.

[792.5cj5]

I'd like to know this also, cause I'm redoing my whole rig at the moment and will be testing and changing all next week till the comp. I'd be nice to know how to set it up for sure.

Thanks

[Silas]

We will continue to do this the way we have been since we are mid series with it all.

[scottb83]

I have a question about the wheel base, and how the new rules apply/ inforced with it. My wheelbase has never been tech'd as i have never competed before but when i built my links my axle stub to axle stub is just under 12.5" while it sets at ride height with wheels straight ahead etc. My question is when you push down and let off as it comes back to ride height will this change the wheelbase that much? is this something that will affect some and not everyones rig? I guess i should just got outside and test my rigs rebound after fully compressing the suspension. I just want to be ready and I dont want to be too big of a pain. My lack of experience with comps will be enough of a pain anyways. Once again thank you all for helping out with my many questions.

We are not using the push down and let go rule since we are in mid comps. (If I read Silas's post right) You can not be any more pain for the guys as I am.

[Silas]

Looks like the Bullhole is still a go...water isn't bad. Bring your warm clothes and heaters!!

26 drivers with a few new guys showing up. Should be a good day just a little chilly

[CRSMacgyver]

Looking forward to meeting some of the new guys. Good to see such a big group.

Silas, make sure you watch Shocker since he has to go first at least once.......

[Silas]

I will have my eyes on Focker... I mean Shocker... :)

Its a nice group... hope all turns out for this, and remember, lets keep things running, so be ready to run when your up. Us judges will do our best to let you know who is on deck for the run.

[Shocker]

Ah ha, Fock * guys. I'll be ready. :thumb:


Nice for me to get a first run in. That should help with the nerves.

[renoirbud]

Wow, that alot of trucks.

This will be a great event.

[Silas]

Good event guys!! Lots of drviers, and still got done by 2pm!!!

Congrats to the final finishers, and great to see new faces. Always good to see the old ones too!!

Thanks to the judges and those who built the courses!!!

Hope Ruthless and a few others post up photos from the event... fill free to add them here in this thread for all to enjoy!!

[CRSMacgyver]

Thanks everyone that helped. Glad to see some new faces. Glad to have the guys from Spartanburg area up to one of our comps. Hope you guys can make it next week. Call me if you need directions or want to meet up for breakfast on the way.

Congrats Jeff on the win! Congrats to all the top 5. Great driving.

See you guys next sat.
Andy

[Shocker]

I believe the battery took a poop in Ruthless' camera and he only got about 5 pictures. My camera was fine but I only got about 5 shots myself. :hihi:

Congrats to Jeff on the win, great driving.

[Cajun]

I had a geat time guys, good to see everyone.

[Ruthless Racer]

Excellent turnout! Had fun freezing and crawling with everyone :D I was able to snag a few shots before the battery died. I'll post as soon as I get them loaded.
Congrats to the finalists and thanks to the judges

[Cycleeric]

Thanks to all who helped out, drove and froze their butts off today. Congrats to the top 5 on some great driving! ! !


:thumb: I didnt break anything today and that made my day:thumb:

[scottb83]

I had a great time as well, hopefully I make it next week, if spektrum decides to release my new radio I should have dig, I won't be holding my breath though. Thanks to all the judges, and thanks for the tips Silas. I hadn't driven a real course before today.

[highrock-dam-crawler]

Thanks for all the judges and silas for putting all this together. Thanks everyone for the congrats. But brian keep the preasure on me allday congrats to all the top finishers

[duty]

I had a great time and I'm looking forward to going to more comps. Thanks to everyone who gave advice. Congrats to Jeff on the win and to the other top 5 finalist.

[pbm45]

Good turn out today would have made it, but my foot is still in a surgical booth and no way I could make the hike.

Just wondering if a decision had been made on the location of the next comp?

PM

[Shocker]

I believe that will be at Devils PlayGround next weekend.

[CRSMacgyver]

Looks like it will be DPG again. I got permission for us to be there and time it short this week for checking the other spots.

[Brackett]

Had a good and cold time today. Congrats to Jeff on the win. You drove well today! Also, congrats to Andy, Silas, Rene & Bryan ("The Peoples Champion"):thumb: Nice driving! Very nice turn out... I hope to see it keep growing. I was almost disappointed the "The Boat Show" did not take on the "White Water" today:D J/K Eric!

Did anyone try/make the bonus line on course 2? Just wondering?

[CRSMacgyver]

Thanks to 79cj2.5, Lankford, and Buster.......Shocker paid up on the servos he owed me!

Same bets next week Shocker???? :finger1:

Thanks Shocker!

[Silas]

Thanks Shocker!


Sure, what the fock. Make it 6 million so I can get my other 3 million back from this weekend too. :hihi:

With the colder weather in the area, maybe there a slim chance of hell freezing over as well.

But dont think I'm really just giving servo's away either. Of course, in all actuality thats what it surely turns out to be. :rolleyes:

However, I do believe that I really should be able to beat those guys. Ummm, but anyway.......3 million servo's will be just fine there buddy. :finger1:

great shots Chris!!! :) I hope to jump back in the photo game this summer!!!

Thanks for taking the time to shoot and post... and you too Shocker... even if you can't count and post 6 shots instead of 5 :) (Plus the one that didn't work).... :)

Looks like an impossible gate... :)...

But thats how we roll in NC.

[CRSMacgyver]

That's how we roll......right after a bunch of us made it......sure looks intimidating from the photos...

[792.5cj5]

Thanks to 79cj2.5, Lankford, and Buster.......Shocker paid up on the servos he owed me!

Same bets next week Shocker???? :finger1:

Thanks Shocker!

No problem. Happy to do it.

I had a great time. I stayed up all night on fri to get the moonbully together and it preformed flawlessly. Great chassie, shout out to the T1E crew. I plan to test it to the limits. I don't think I did to bad with a virgin truck. I diffenetly could have done better. Hell I took out the first gate on #1. My lack of drivin skill and the gizmo in my hand they call a 4PK is what hurt me. I found myself havin to look at my remote alot and losin my line and hittin a gate.

Good time, great people, lookin forward to next week.

[TODBLDZ]
