Why would we have another series? Is there not enough going on?!?!?!?
I just want more practice and I can't make it down to Taylors every weekend and there is some locals that also can't drive to the cities every weekend.
Plus practice makes perfect right?
So on April 10th 2010 The first event will be.....
Enger Tower Scaler Rally & 2.2 comp.
Here is some pics of the area. http://s673.photobucket.com/albums/vv94/kwapi/Eger Tower Scaler Trail Ride March 2010/
First to the bottom of the steps wins. Must stay in bounds.
Winch can be used.
Can not touch your rig to flip it over.
May use the buddy system.
Must carry tools or parts on the scaler to do repairs.
The scaler event is a trail ride from Skyline to the Tower.
Comp will be at the base of the tower.
Start 9-10 sign up and scaler tech and Show and Shine. Meet in the parking lot at Enger.
10am Start the Rally on Skyline and run up the hill.
2.2 Comp to start after The rally for those who want to do comps. (start around Noon)
This series is just for fun and get a following in Duluth.
So get your rig ready for some fun and meeting other crawlers from the area.
Scaler Points system/ rules for the series. Scaler means smaller version of a real trail rig or truck.
1.9 wheels any tire
Scaler frame. Home made or store bought. Must be 14" or longer.
NO MOA
NO dig
2 cell
any motor
winch can be used or a tow strap from your buddy.
Must have a realistic body as see in real life.
Ok that qualifies a scaler, now the bonus points for a really good build.
Two sets of point will be used for a scaler event...Scaler points and the event points.
Scaler points:
Bonus points will be awarded in the following areas because the upgrades add realism and most are a negative on how the rig handles. A super scale rig will not perform as good as a scaler with the minimum to qualify.
Qualify= 15 points
Winch...real looking not servo, must work. Servo can be used for winch but no bouns points for it. 1 point
Bumpers bolt on. 1 point for each.
1.55 wheels 2 points
Detailed hard body(clod buster, f350, Toyota) 2 points
Steering servo mounted on frame 2 points
Sliders 1 point
Leaf springs 2 points
Real spare tire 1 point
Interior detailed 2 points
Driver- passangers? 1 point each
Great paint job 1 point
Detailed exterior(mirrors, wipers, canvas top) 2 points
Working Lights (must be on during the event) 2 points
At the event the points will be tallied so a grand total for scaler points could be 35. Lowest 15.
Unlike comps the event points will be awarded 30 for first and -2 points there after. Second gets 28, third 26....and so on.
Add Scaler points and event points and you get an overall winner.
Kind of weird, I know, but this way someone who likes to build cool scalers and is not so worried about competing can still have a good chance of being the overall winner.
Please let me if you have any questions.
Scaler and 2.2 comps are seperate and you can run one or both or neither and come and watch.
One event a month.
Schedule...May change so please keep looking in case we have a date conflicts.
