dobber · Feb 20, 2012

Going to try and make all of these this year, but i was supposed to be ready for the last one last year so who knows.

jamescampbell1 · Feb 21, 2012

as it looks now I'll be able to make most

gtxracer · Feb 22, 2012

Are there suspension limitations in stock class? It sounds like if you cut off the stock brackets and weld on new ones anywhere then it's considered a modified frame and it must run in modified stock. Correct?

So a street legal (minus mud flaps) Toyota with a stock frame and a 22r running 38s would be in unlimited class?

JOOP · Feb 23, 2012

I want give it a try this year but damn it to hell immune in the buggy class unless I can find some 37"s

I'll be back...these events are really fun!

And a big THANK YOU to Master-Pull for stepping up with sponsorship support for these events...I hear there will be some sweet prizes for the top finishers in each class!

Ba-Riedo · Feb 23, 2012

Master Pull will be stepping it up and donating a rope to each of the 3 class winners at the end of the series. I can't wait to get back out there!

I've been wondering this as well.

Something sticks in my mind about make 4 of the 6 to be a point contender or something like that. But that might have been a different series. I think it would be VERY hardpressed for many folks to make EVERY race. 4 out of 6 would be perfect IMHO. Or must make atleast (3), and score are the average of all the races you make. Make 5 or more and be allowed to toss out your lowest score.

?? Food for thought?

Can we get a ruleing on this Beau?

First of all I am not part of the event planning and am just throwing out some ideas in my head

here is my ideas...

First 6 events count for points

If they do 2 runs like last year

100 pts for starting first race

These next three could be concidered event checkpoints

20 pts for finishing first race
20 pts for starting second race
20 pts for finishing second race

Top 3 Times of day get points
1st = 100pts
2nd = 60pts
3rd = 20pts

-Start first race and finish, not do second race, but get best time of the day = 220pts

-Start first race and finish, start second race and do not finish and get best time = 240pts

-Start first race and finish, start second race and finish, get best time of day = max 260 pts

-Start first race and finish, start second race and finish and get second best time =220 pts (showing a tie by points if person with best time only does one of their two runs)

I do not know how event 7 in september will go so im just brain storming again

So, at the end of the 6 events, the points leader will get start position #1 in the event 7 endurance race. Second in points gets start position #2 and so on down the line of points. If there is people doing event 7 as their first race with no points they will line up after all competitors who have points.

Not sure how the endurance race will be ran so i dont have any ideas on points for it.

Once again I dont know any facts about this years events, im just thinking out loud and throwing out suggestions
