We're going to try and have as many classes from slightly modified up to unlimited as we can - payouts and runs per classes are variable depending on competitor turnout.

Got my interest

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan July 4th?

I need to find a date that will work for the competitors - this event would be open only to rail buggies - I need at least 20 competitors.

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan

Define rails? You talking about tube chassis buggies or sand rails?

2wd Rail Buggies

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan

Ok. I gotcha. I was wondering how you were going to keep the hill killers from dominating the little guy. Any thought about doing a trail rig race? No big racers allowed?

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan

Anything we can get 20+ competitors out of I'm up for- very very little work to make this course doable for smaller vehicles.

Charlie, this has your name written all over it!

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan

Exactly what I was thinking. That chain drive mofo needs the dust knocked off it.

Bad machine fo sho.

He may be scared since he flipped it 4-5 times down power line trail in Royal Blue. Must be why he's always tweaking the engine ;D

This is something I'd like to do, would love something like that for Fall Crawl - but I wouldn't want to take over the parks event, even though they really don't do stuffs like this.

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan

Do it that will just help bring more of a crowd and something to see while everyone is there anyway, looks like a WIN WIN

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan

I'll talk with some people, how would we limit them? HP, having a full frame or what?

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan

Maybe do 2 classes. Race rigs and trail rigs. Everyone knows who the usual racers are.

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan

One day only or what? Or have the trail rigs early and the race rigs late?

Could use the drag race course modified for the trail rigs and then use one of our hill climbs for the race rigs...

As for the particulars I have no clue but I'd be up for running the woods class.

Hahaha that was funny. "I'm in ... I'm out". Haha.
Heard dat. Them fukers in them rail buggies are nuts.

Re: Any interest in a head to head woodsbuggy uphill race - Harlan

The "woods buggy" thought got me excited. I love competition, just know my rig can't climb 99.9% of the hills the bouncers do, much less compete with them. But, if they have a trail rig class, I'm in!

Fordcontraption has a badazz chain drive I'd like to see in the race if it happens.

Fall Crawl Weekend - Trail Rig Course & Hill Killer Bounty Oct 15th - Harlan

Okay I'm thinking trail rig class - requirements at least half a stock frame and 39 or smaller tires? Give me your input on this...

This would be timed run up one side of the course, down the other and then up the middle to the finish line.

Then an unlimited class hill climb competition - which would be on the new hill (300+ feet).


Who's in?

Tire size will limit your entries.
