There is a sign before the turn that says Wellington Lake. The 550 sign is a bit up the road, not very visible from the main road, Look for some pink survey tape at the turn for 550.
Google GPS 39.344830, -105.271788
9-9:45am check-in and sign-up. $5 per driver. 10am start. 1:30pm. course closes.
This event is open to all 1.9 and 2.2 wheeled scale trucks, all SORCCA rules apply to scale rigs, ie; no TVP chassis' and scale tires, Twin Hammers OK. Minimum 10 scale points needed to enter.
Course layout:
There is a potential of several hours of driving so pack batteries, parts and water with you.
From the course start there will be 20-30 gates between each "search" area at each search area drivers must find, drive up to and pick up one color coded army man and carry it on their rig, no pocketing army men! (Zip ties, tie wire are acceptable means of carrying your army men.) drivers will collect all colored army men from each area throughout the course and return to base camp to check in their army men and get their final time.
There will be one main course for all rigs with challenge sections for 2.2 drivers for bonus time. 1.9 drivers may attempt the 2.2 challenge sections for additional bonus time.
Rules:
1. HAVE FUN! Thats what its all about "thumbsup"
2. NO HAND OF GOD. (HOG) A G6 is all about driving skill. A driver may not assist, stop, catch, or kick his/her vehicle. There are no penalties for winching or using your tow strap or for reverses, so DRIVE SMART! The penalty is a DQ for hogging your scale vehicle. Performing on course repairs or having to touch your vehicle for recovery purposes is not hogging. Picking your vehicle up out of water, mud, sand, or rolling it over onto its wheels with your hand is all examples of hogging your vehicle, thus resulting in a disqualification.
3. A driver may make a battery change or repair on course and once finished with battery change or repair you must return to the last gate you progressed to continue on the course.
4. If a driver hits a gate or comes in contact with a marker at anytime or during a gate progress the driver most replace the struck gate to its original position and return their rig to the last gate they progressed to continue on with the course.
5.A driver can not drive through a gate backwards and reverse back through it to avoid trail obstacles. This will result in a DQ and no fun. The course is directional and a driver must maintain the intended direction of travel.
There are no judges on course. Rules are based on the honor system, if anyone plans to cheat, just let us know :twisted:
Please post up if you plan to attend and if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
