Any one know of any comps for little guys that can't afford a bouncer or full on race rig? I would love to compete but my budget only allows for my mildly built tj on 35's at the moment. obstacle courses or anything? One day i hope to have something to do the srrs or arc something like that but that is years off and right now just have to do with what i got.

Where are you at? Last week of the month is the Lawrencburg Fair in TN. Tuff Truck contest. Several classes and always a good time.


Yeah a location might have helped. I'm in Chattanooga/Cleveland area so Lawrencburg isnt to terribly far. I looked at ECOR but my jeep is kind of between two classes and to get ready i would have to spend several thousand dollars to get stuff on the jeep/me like fire suits, a "legal" helmat, doors for the jeep, and several other odds and ends. ECOR does look like a **** ton of fun though.
 
Dirt Riot Stock Class rules-

1.2.1: Stock Trail Vehicles. This class is intended for vehicles in stock form with very little suspension modifications, limited in tire size, and performance modifications.
1.2.1.1: All stock trail class vehicles will be required to meet the Dirt Riot minimum safety standard requirements, which include; 4-point harnesses, solid metal hardtop over a 6-point cage that is tied into the frame of the vehicle, solid metal doors or door bars that extend from the b-pillar at shoulder height to the a-pillar at the ankle/knee height, 2 – 2.5pd rated fire extinguishers.
1.2.1.2: Frame: Stock Class vehicles must retain the entire stock chassis. Chassis modifications can be made only to strengthen the frame (adding material).
1.2.1.3: Body: Stock body must be maintained, trimming of fender wells is allowed for tire clearance only. No "comp cutting" of rear corners is allowed. No 'boat siding" is allowed. No cutting of floor board material is allowed.
1.2.1.4: Drive train: Drive train modifications are limited to internal up-grades of axles and gears, all stock class vehicles must retain drive train components that were available to that vehicle from the manufacturer.
1.2.1.5: Suspension: Lifting of a vehicle is allowed as long as no other rule for the class is broken. Only non adjustable shocks without coil carriers or air charges are allowed. Non adjustable, non factory bump stops are allowed.
1.2.1.6: Tires: Tires are limited in max size to 35 inch diameter by sidewall designation, if a tire appears to be greater than 35 inches, a measurement will be taken to determine if that tire is acceptable.
1.2.1.7: Steering: Aftermarket steering components are allowed as long as no other rule is broken. Ram assist steering is acceptable, full hydro ram steering is not acceptable.
1.2.1.8: Fuel Cells: Stock fuel tanks can be retained as long as the vent is routed to eliminate spillage, and a non vented gas cap is used to prevent spillage.
1.2.1.9: F-Toy class legal vehicles may enter Stock Trail as long as they meet the 35" tire rule.
1.2.1.10: Window nets are highly recommended.
 
I know AOP plans more 4 cyl comps. But Tom also said he may run some class type races, if enough people showed interest. remember it must draw spectators and competitors to be worth it for any park and give any payout for winners!! I know he does his best and works to make people happy.
 
Re:

Promoting non bouncer events as much as bouncer events would help bring folks out. I had a blast at the 4cyl comp but was disappointed at the lack of promotion. I know it's not as exciting as open header flying up air catching woopow, but I know there is interest with the weepow crowd...just sayin'

the Toyota trucks faired well in that class , there was almost as many leaf sprung rings as 4links ..

for the non bouncer competitions its going to be hard to raise 1k plus for payouts. How many people are going to want to risk breakage for 4-500 payout?

If there is enough interest for a 100% payout race be it a 4cyl comp , side x side etc Im sure HPO would be willing to host the event and I wouldn't mind organizing and promoting.

so, there you have it .... want a race ?
Thats better than some of the dirt riot races that I did. You race to race. It always cost more than there is to gain back.

Racing is for the sake of racing, payouts are just a bonus :****:


I'd be in for organizing a 4cyl comp at GMP.

when you say promotion, what do you mean ?
Something other than a thread and no other mention of it elsewhere.
Vendors etc....you know, promotions line the bouncers get.
 
You guys are right . promotion, AOP did post here and facebook . It was the first event. Tom put up the pay out. From the interest I see we may make it happen!! The trucks did fare well, I know the top truck was 3rd. That was a great day for all. Give us some sponsors we can make a race!! I'll run !!
 
BattleFest this past year went great. We had 50+ rigs run and everyone had a great time. Registration will begin soon for 2015.
 
Looks like HPO stepped up thanks to you'll !!! Thanks to HPO !!!
