Competition for Newbs at RC

Subject: Competition for Newbs at RC Tue Aug 21, 2007 6:09 pm

I guess you can call this the official announcement for the RCrocs series that will be held at Rausch Creek. Our plans for 08 will be to have a 3 event series just at RC. Each event will be one day only (sat) followed by a day of wheeling for those who choose to stay. The goal of this series is to bring back the comp guys who can’t commit the time for travel around the east and the country. Along with bringing back the old comp drivers we really hope this series will open the door for new teams to come in and experience the comp scene.

There will be many details to come and I am sure there will be many questions asked. Please understand this comp series is not about the money. Our goal is to get a “grass roots” series for new people as well as old teams a place to compete and hopefully get the bug to move up to the WE ROC series. WE ROC is 100% behind us and will help in any way they can.

The plan is to run the three classes that WE ROC has already in place following their rules and guidelines.
The twist is RCrocs will add one more class to the series. What is that class? That question can be answered by you!

We will be having a one day comp on Nov 10th at RC. There will be three classes that day to see which one will be added to the series next year.

Here is a quick run down on the classes for THIS EVENT ONLY!
Class one: 33’s max tire along with one locker
Class two: 34-37" stocker class (suspension must be market available)
Class three: 37 and above (any rig fits)

I know there will be a ton of questions and we will nail down the rules in greater detail but these are the broad strokes of the one time event this fall. Once we see what class has the turn out and most chance of sustaining itself it will be added as the 4th class to next year's series.

OH YEAH ONE MORE TWIST. For the one time event this fall we are only allowing drivers who have not competed in the past 24 months. The goal is let new drivers get their feet wet without pro drivers kicking them around. One more thing is the local PRO’s will be on hand that day to “mentor” the new drivers and spotters.

this sounds like fun. I think i'll compete in the 33's and one locker class. You don't see to many people with long arms running 33's so I should have a good advantage. I'm just going to need to borrow someones 33's now seeing that I upgraded to 36's.

I have to confirm the rules but I heard that the rules will be very lax for the first event but after that one they will follow the WEROCK guidelines. I would like to try it but my suspension is not of stock style and may bump me to the unlimited class.

I want to compete. If I do, it will be class 2 for me. Shocked

Subject: Re: Competition for Newbs at RC Wed Sep 19, 2007 2:42 pm

Yeah I have had too much carnage lately to want to compete, but I told them I would help anyway I can. Either way I will be there that weekend.

From Bruce:The plan is to make the courses hard but not to the point of lots of rolls. So full body rigs ...is OK.

We will have a practice day in the next few weeks so people can get a chance to see what the courses will be like.
