Sam has the score sheets and I am sure he will get the results up as soon as he can. He is usually pretty busy so be a little patient. Anyone who took pics is welcome to post them here. I am sure Sam will get his up sometime soon as well.
Thanks for driving out to the coast Mike and nice to meet ya.
Was loads of fun! Im glad I could make it. Was nice to see so many crawlers! a big thanks to every one who put it on. I had allot of fun, even tho I dident finish one course:shock: But still fun for a first comp. Thanks again, and hope to see you all soon again!"thumbsup"
Today was a great day, the sun shined, the waves crashed, courses were completed. Can't wait till the next one. I thought I was a redneck before, man it's burnt.
I'd also like to say. Thanks to everyone who came out & packed out their trash. Using the land irresponsibly with remove all the access we have.
If anyone has a spot that we may be able to hold a comp please let us know. The access we have is becoming more and more limited. We need more locations. Look for spots with comp worthy lines, parking and facilities. Post some pics and we'll check it out.
Thanks again, to everyone helped out.
I'd also like to know what people thought of the courses and the event as a whole.

people need to pay more attention. i see trash left at EVERY event i go to. from 3 people to 30 we need to clean up after eachother, not just ourselves
some people "pointed out" and some finished with negative points. i bet most were in between. in my opinion, the courses were PERFECT"thumbsup" some a-hole even brought a friggin kick A$$ bridge :ror:

It was another awesome day at the Bean! Sorry to everyone for the horrible weather!:ror:
Good to see everyone again as well as the new faces and thanks for joining us. I hope that those new to the competition environment didn't get too frustrated and had a good time. Some of the lines were a bit brutal but every one of them was completed and I think a good time was had by all. Those who struggled a bit, don't fret, we have 6 more events to go in this series. Make the necessary changes, take the extra time to practice and pay attention to the lines that are run by the more experienced drivers. There is alot of good info here on RCC as well. If you have setup questions don't hesitate to ask them at the events.;-)
As said in posts prior, thanks for policing the area for trash. Can't wait to see everyone at the next event!!

Ok boys here are the scores. While I am processing wedding photos, I started plugging in numbers. I will go back and verify tallies later, but this is the preliminary finish for everyone. Please check to make sure your scores seem correct for what you drove. There was also one random score for a Daniel B which had 25 points. There were no other points though for this person so I am not sure who it was.
For tie breakers, per USRCCA rules, we use the points from the last course. If the last course is tied, we then move to the second to last and so on until the tie is broken. We had 4 sets of people with ties this weekend, so this explains how it was sorted out.
Two guys shined like a mutha F'n star this weekend. Dean and Daniel both smashed the courses with a finish of -1. Daniel was working the courses early in the day and laid down a perfect run on Course #1 with a -7. He then took a 0 on course #3 which seemed to be the nail in the coffin. However, Dean took on the first 2 courses and stumbled a bit on both courses. He took the first entry gate out on course #1. He then pilfered an easy gate dropping into #2. Then it was AWN!! He squeeked through gate #3 on course 2 which only a couple other people made (including Daniel). He then snagged the bonus line to gain some points back. The real clutch play came on course #3 when he not only ran it perfect, but he also walked the bonus line like it was a basic gate. This netted him back some lost points and a 1st place finish.
Other notes:
Daniel had best score (-7) on course #1
Maro69Camaro had best score (4) on course #2
Dean had best score (-15) on course #3
Sorry Richard, I had to give you the PINK highlight for coming with an out of spec rig.
Congrats guys!! Great show today!! I was VERY impressed with everyone and was stoked at how fun it was out there. I truly missed crawling.
As for the trash mentioned by Dave, there was a lot of trash left behind. Not only that, but there was a huge pile of cigarette butts left behind as well. I was a bit taken back by it all. Please help at the next event by taking your trash out. I want to be able to run the Bean again without hassle. So please, like Dave said, take not only your crap, but anything else you find. If the place looks like we weren't even there, then the cops/rangers can't complain about destruction. Thanks for your help on this guys.
Thanks again Dave (Course #1), Erik & Dean (Course #2), and Lance & Dan (Course #3) for scoring all day in the horrible Bean Hollow weather. You guys did great today keeping things going. We not only finished early enough to go out crawling, but we had a nice fat hour+ lunch just hanging out. Nice.
I will have pics up on Nor-Cal once I finish processing them (after the wedding photos of course).

Thanks for the score talliing Sam. I did find a slight typo. On course 2, I hit 3 gates but made the bonusline, with 1 more reverse than progress points gave me a total of 21. Putting me in a tie for 12th. Not knowing the times I'll leave it up to the score sheets. Thanks in advance for posting pics.

It was only good looking because Badger wasn't there. He has a way of bringing the ugly factor to an event :lol: Glad you had a good time.

Fixed it. The bonus was marked, but scratched out and tallied that way. So it was just a counting glitch I presume.

Thanks everyone for a great time at the Bean yesterday It was cool to judge a NorCal comp for the first time and it seemed like it helped my mind-set for the comp. Cool trail ride afterwards with our scalers for a total of 9 hours on the beach (my neck is so burnt).
I'm lookin forward to the next one.
