Preliminary talk on the RC board about Club Comp dates

  • There is a thread on the RC board discussing possible dates for the club competition.


    Here: http://www.rc4x4.org/rcforum/index.php?topic=21032


    If you would like to compete, post what date you'd prefer here and I'll let Jim know which date is best.


    Hopefully we can find a legal team again this year. It's getting tougher as more and more people build past class 2.

  • I'm in for it again.


    I am competing Class 1 in RcRocs, so the second date works better for me. Plus April 19th is the day before Easter. :down:

    *bLaTaNt DiSrEgarD oFfRoAd*<br /><br />&quot;Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. <br />One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.&quot;


  • So for my rig to compete, I need a 4pt harness AND a full cage. I wont have a cage before the club comp. :(


    Class 1 only requires a 3 point harness so you are good there and a factory cage is perfectly fine as long as you leave the windshield in as that is the A pillar on a factory cage.



    Plus April 19th is the day before Easter. :down:


    I'll definitely have to get home right after the comp if they pic that date.


    I'm game to compete this year since I missed the last couple but will judge also if need be. That was fun. :)

    Glenn, if I didn't have a front locker i'd say lets do class one..... having two lockers knocks me out of 1 and I don't have the equipment needed for class two.... oh well maybe next year

    Yep, 2 lockers and 35's..no class one. No 4pt, no cage.... now if I could convince Nancy to let us put 33's on her Rubi.... or if DEJA wants to "Donate" a full cage for my TJ.... Just sayin...

  • Whoa, whoa, whoa.....I think we are over thinking this.


    If you fit into class one or two. You are fine. That means any Jeep in production unless it is 2wd.


    A wrangler comes stock with a "cage". Unless you cut the thing off and it looks like a Willy's, you are fine. You just can't remove the windshield frame because as I mentioned before, it is the A pillar.


    I can't think of anyone in this club that can't compete.


    EDIT: I just realized the rules aren't clear on the RC board so I'm trying to get something more clear on their board.

  • Things are relaxed for the Club Comp.

  • Ok, thats why I was asking..... Would like to compete but wont have a lot of extra $$$ to spend before then.



    a TJ is fine stock - cage wise. if you want to run without the windshield, you need to have a trail cage added in so you have protection. I removed the windshield and doors when I did it on 33s, and the front half (add in trail cage) was all I had.


  • Putting up some clearer rules would be great. I think i'd like to try this out but don't want to wind up in a class under equipped
