Thanks for the advance notice! I'm going to do my best to keep my buggy in shape for this and show up to have some fun. I'll probably be bringing a friend and his rig with me as well.

Pics of your rig. Looks fun!

GONOVRIT · Jul 28, 2015

It's a really fun rig to drive and continues to suprise me. It's really just a ramp queen that gets gets abused occasionally though.

The goal of trying to run 2 classes is to keep things simple. Personally I prefer one class and run what you bring. Thus far we have chosen trails that require driving your rig and this will always be our goal in choosing trails to compete on. However, at the last race we had a lot of folks that wanted to compete but wouldn't run against a buggy. My goal with the 2 classes is only to make it more inclusive. If it doesn't work out we can always adapt. I really enjoy this class of racing and love seeing the smaller rigs compete. The entry will be small and with the park donating a portion we should have some decent payouts. We'll add a point system to the series and have a trophy for the champion at the end of the series.

Sounds perfect to me. I'm thinking about running it, will you announce the trails in advance for pre-running? :smoke:

I'll be there racing. I hope to have my motor bugs worked out in the next few weeks so no repeat of the last race.

Thanks for putting this series on!

yeah there was some interest but Tom never chimed in oh well.

The first race at AOP was run what you brung. the trucks were well represented .
I liked the idea of lower pay outs for more places. As was proven at both of the last races, trucks can compete with the buggies.
I hope classes work. But many fall in between. Only other idea would be tire sizes.
If you don't think you can run with the buggies, go to smaller tire class.
All I can say. If you don't even try why complain..
I ran my single seat with the hard core bouncers, I think I did very well. I also had no chance of winning. But I tried..
As for a 6 cly class. show up go to the drivers meeting and say we have 10 rigs we want to run and who knows.
Tom said that at the first race and no 6 cyls showed.
Want to rum show the interest. But you will hear the same thing my tj will not run with the buggies. Now we need 6 cly classes TOO. what a pain in the a$$
Come out show your support ,, rally your rigs and who knows.
If you can't beat a buggy then outrun your friend. put up your own 12 pack purse or side bets.. Think of it as paying for the timers and track time to keep it fair.
It is mostly to have fun.... If you are sceeerd say your skeered.
I'm here to call all ya'll out !!!! I'm gona beat it like a rented mule... some times sh!t breaks other times I roll !!! Every time I giver her hell!!! hitit

TBItoy · Sep 28, 2015

I'm gonna try to make this happen,

I'm between classes, have bald tires, and a stock motor. But who cares, it'll be fun!

Re:

The other 4banger races have been on both sides of the park. 70,71,57 also over on the 43,44,47. I would like to see them run 64 myself, but that one is hard to get spectators to. Although with the small numbers that have shown up for the other races, the races could have hauled all of them up to it.
