Minimum 10 scale points/items is mandatory, 25 max. applied points. Waterproofing is highly recommended, a winch is highly recommended.

Due to the nature of a TTC event we will set the cut off to 15 trucks per class. Please post up if you plan to attend and which class(es) you plan to run and we'll put you down on the Drivers List.

All the rules and course 411
TTC events are open to all 1.9 and 2.2 wheeled scale trucks and is focused on scale appearance and having fun. Please come out with a vehicle of scale appearance and a smile on your face!

-Each registered truck will be required to have a minimum of 10 scale points, 25 points maximum will be applied to the drivers overall score.
(Event organizers are not responsible for adding your scale points, that being said if you do not have the required points to run in the event you will not be allowed to run.)

-All obstacles will be based on time/distance traveled. See judging criteria below.
-All obstacle times/distance will be converted to points and tallied with scale points, the drivers with the most points wins.

Preparation.
-A Top Truck Challenge is designed to test the limits of you the driver and your rig.

-Your truck will get wet and dirty. Waterproofing is highly recommended.
-Drivers will have the option to skip an obstacle, receive a "0" score for the obstacle and move on to the next without a DQ for the event.

-Winches are not required but highly recommended. Functional items sunch as pull pals, tow ropes and the like must be carried on the truck at all times if they are to be used on course.

-No hand of god. Trucks must be righted under their own power to progress through the obstacle.

Typical Events:
Hill Climb, Sled Pull, Mud Bog, Mini Rubicon, Obstacle course and Tank Trap.

Hill Climb
Time/Distance
Course will be constructed so that it continually progresses up a steep grade. The course will include multiple “gates” which the competitor must complete (all 4 wheels must go thru the gate). The course will include very steep dirt climbs and off camber sections.
Vehicles will progress thru the designated course until which time the truck either goes out of bounds or cannot make farther forward progress. Positions will be determined first by times of full runs and then by distance covered through the last gate progressed after the driver can no longer make forward progress or an out of bound is called.

Sled Pul
Time/Distance
Competitors will pull a designated vehicle/weight along a track. Places will be determined first by full pull times and then by distance (if a vehicle does not make a full pull).

You can run both 1.9 and 2.2? Will they both be on the same course?
 
You can run both 1.9 and 2.2? Will they both be on the same course?

Drivers may run both classes, if time allows. If all the slots get filled "2 class" drivers will have to choose which class they would run so we're not there ALL day. Both Class 2 and 3 trucks will run on the same courses and judged within each class.
 
I have enough to wup ya in 1.9 and then slap on some 2.2's and do it all over again!

Or vice versa! ;-)
You thinking of running the Bronco in both classes? You couldn't beat Pepe before, I don't expect much of a change this time....:mrgreen:

I'd love to run reduced Pitbulls on 1.9's on Guido but Class 2 rules won't let me. Standard 1.9's are too small for that pig.
 
I think you have got smoke from the EB in your eyes? "thumbsup"
 
I think I remember pulling Pepe, or throwing rocks, or kicking? Something those corrupt fun having Colorado guys do? :razz:
 
:ror:

So are you running the EB in both classes?

I think thats something we should vote on as a group, personally I don't mind it, the terrain is contactly changing throughout the day.

He might be better off with the stock Honcho, at least it doesn't break down after each course... :mrgreen:
