Sweet, though I think that guy has a crush on your truck :flipoff:

Ok who has the "Spring Fever Bin" with cones, stopwatches etc. I need it ASAP please. Do we have a megaphone available to us?

I have it, there are no stop watches; cones, pens & clipboards only. Maybe some leftover roles of marking tape, the rest is garbage.

I think the stop watches might be in the cash box?

This an event to test your off road skills whether you have a stock 4x4, modified 4x4 or a fully customized 4x4 buggy.
The course is best done with 2 people with one being the driver and the other as a spotter.
The goal of the competition is to traverse the course while hitting as few flags as possible. These flags will mark the boundaries of the course and will test both the drivers and spotters skills of navigation. There are also penalties for back ups and time is a factor this year with every 10 seconds adding time to the clock. The competitor with the lowest score wins.
Classes:
32" and under.
We have created a fun and challenging course for all you off roaders that have not gone crazy with modifications yet, this will give you a chance to compete with vehicles of similar characteristics. There is some mud, some challenging off-camber hills, tight turns, some easy rocks and blind climbs. The goals is for 90% of the trucks in this class to be able to complete the whole course. What will seperate the pack is those who know their vehicles well will be able to miss the most flags and not take the backups, of course doing this as quick as you can will present a bit of difficulty. But to make things more interesting when you finish the main course you will have an opportunity to try a bonus obstacle (or maybe 2) with one of them being a moderate path across the rock garden or see to how deep the mud really is in that big hole. The advantage to these will be a substantial negative point bonus possibly enough to put you in the lead, but beware because if you have to be extricated from the bonus obstacle you get no points for it and the clock is still ticking.
33-37"
This will be a interesting class to watch as bigger tires do not always win against somebody who knows their vehicle. This class is not about just challenging you a little bit, but about let's see what you can do with these modifications you have done to your truck. Were they worth the money? Or is it time to do that upgrade you have been thinking about? It is going to push your vehicle to it's limits without being insane as what really matters here is not ridiculous climbs but about some obstacles that are not only tricky to accomplish but really require the attention to detail that will keep you inside those pesky flags. You will have to go through the rock garden but the cones will be your options and of course how deep your axles will go before they find bottom in the mud hole. Oh yeah and tick-tock that clock is adding up points.
38" and up
Ok hold on to your hats, we are going to make this a fun ride. We will try to bring as much pucker factor as possible that even the spectators will be clenching their cheeks. Our goal will be to make sure that if these trucks are level for more than 3 seconds it is because they are broken. I am just saying that it will be up, down, sideways and around and old man time will not be waiting for you so putting along is not going to cut it. Oh and watch out for those flags because they will seem to be fitting you like a tight pair of jeans on Saturday night. We will work that rock garden the best we can but since we won't have as many new rocks as hoped for by this event we will just have to wait until July when we amp that part up.

Quick question....battery tie downs? Do most Jeeps have this? Mine are in a compartment which locks...will that suffice?

Anyone want to spot for me???

Stock military should not allow shorted our batteries on over turn no? You wheel that thing hard enough that you should have that anyway. Universal battery tie down from CTC. Just need to drill holes and I am sure there must be some in that battery compartment.
