The idea is quite simple... one start, one finish,
a one lap endurance race... the classes will be broken up according
to suspension, not tire size and the course will be designed for
speed and strategy... basically the course will start at the bottom
of the camp ground, zig zag through the front side of the park, up
and down all of the various obsticles until you get back to camp,
speed through the camping area, cross the bridge and then off to the
back side of the park, punish your rig to its full capacity and get
back to camp in one piece... basically we are trying to incorperate
70-80% of the trails at MMORV, leaving some of the tougher stuff to
be ran backwards/ easier to keep traffic down...
RIG REQUIREMENTS/ CLASSES
the idea is to keep this simple and competitive... what is needed to
compete??? simple, a driver, a rig and basic safety equipment...
there will be four classes... "RACERS", these are pro
drivers w/ comp rigs, you know if you have one or not... next will
be the "ADVANCED" class, these are rigs w/ coilovers, air
shocks, or struts... moving down the line are "BASIC"
suspension rigs, these are the coil and leaf sprung rigs... if you
have a rig w/ leafs and airshocks, then that would be considered
advanced... and last but not least is the "STOCK" class...
these are the DD vehicles w/ little to no mods... if you have a TJ
w/ a 4" lift and 33's that you daily drive, that is not
"STOCK", but if you put a leveling kit on your toyota to
fit a larger tires then that is still stock suspension... lets dont
complicate things, you know what you have and the staff ultimately
has the final say....
SCORING/ FINISHING
scoring is simple, you race against times in your class... if you
break and cannot repair, you are a DNF... this will be part of the
strategy for what you carry on board... you will be allowed to stop
in the camping area as a "pit stop" or walk back to camp
for parts... if you cannot finish, you will need to clear your
vehicle from the course and enjoy the show...
SPECTATORS/ CAMPING
there will be a charge for spectators, if you are not a driver or
co-driver, then you are a spectator... camping will be available and
as always, RV spots are first come, first served... spectators can
bring there side by sides or street legal rigs to maneuver to the
spectator areas as it is just to far to walk for most, but walking
is ok as well...
REGISTRATION/ FEEDBACK
register friday before midnight, driver meeting/ starting line up at
8am and begin racing at 9-10am, $50 to race and cash payout in
each class for the top 3... we want this to be fun for everyone...
we would like to make this a regular event and want it to be driver
and spectator friendly... the logistics of access trails to the more
exciting obsticles is something we are working on and of course
there will be action in the camping area... we want this to be as
fun for the spectators as it will be for the drivers... MMORV has
some crazy lines that will prove interesting for all to see....
RIG REQUIREMENTS/ SAFETY
-please read the park requirements page on the MMORV website
http://morrismountainorv.com/parkinfo.html#Vehicle%20Requirements
-seatbelts, 3 point minimum
-fire extinguisher
-DOT helmet, no bicycle/skateboard helmets
-functioning winch w/ tree saver or synthetic rope
-recovery points front and rear, a strap would also be suggested
-horn, an air horn is fine, this is to notify another racer that you
want to pass
-number plates... this will need to be at least 12" tall
and 16" wide and preferable removable, like w/ zip ties, this
will allow us to paint a number onto your plate and you can
reinstall it, if you preregister, then you can do this yourself, but
the numbers will need to be dark color applied to a light colored
background and and stand at least 10" tall... these will need
to be visable from both sides of the rig...
