Overview:
it’s that time of year again…I’m not talking pumpkin spice and cozy cardigans…im talking frozen tundra and grey sky’s…it’s the time of year that ramps up the oncoming dread that winter brings…but that’s doesn’t mean we here at the trail slow down…no no no, in fact we ramp things up, and what better than to “global warm” the trail in custom Off-Road GASSERS! We’re looking for the baddest, craziest, most fantastic gassers you can come up with to tackle the trail. If you think you’re up for this extreme challenge then have-at-er-eh! And we’ll see you at the trail!

Track:
Elevation Trail of Lakeridge Heights
Format and scoring:
We run 3 wide at the Heights behind a Moto-Style start gate. The track is wide open from top to bottom passing 10 check points along the way. 1 point is awarded for each gate crossed, and an Extra point will be awarded for crossing the finish line first for a Max potential of 11 points per race.
We run 3 times down the hill so each car has an equal opportunity in each position to make it as fair and as far as possible.
Cars will be randomly assigned into groups of 3…then assigned groups in following rounds according to points accumulated.
The cut line for subsequent rounds will depend on the total scores of the top cars going forward in such that they equal out to a balanced bracket moving forward.
Ties will be settled by a 2 race runoff where whoever collects the most points, wins.
The Finals will be a six lap race-off where the points are wiped clean from the previous rounds. Most points gained in the finals will be the Champion.
Penalties and repairs:
Cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.
If a car fails to meet any of the requirements, the car will not qualify.
Cars that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches
Cars that arrive broken will have an attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins
Prizes:
A nice clear hunk of ice for the winner along with a prize pack selection
Best In Show - prize pack assortment
Yellow Snow Award in FULL effect!
Other Info:
please include a Race Entry Slip will all your info on it with your car.
If you can send it with a case that would also help in keeping things organized.
Any questions, please feel free to send me a DM
I am posting 2 races at the same time for anyone who would like to combine the shipping for both events
Racing will be scheduled to begin once all entries arrive and will be posted to RLD and Facebook from YouTube
If you would like to see your logo at the trail, please include a water slide decal and I will add it to the logo garden
Thanks for your interest…we hope to see you at the trail!
