: f toys take first and third at flatlands
skonkerd 04-20-2010, 11:56 AM Zman and i raced at the flat lands this weekend, well he raced and i rolled. and even after stopping to try and winch me back over, he still pulled first. if any body has even thought about racing on the east coast, they should check out ecors.There are rumors of a toyota or ftoy only class with enough participation. The ecors guys also made the anouncment that they will be hosting the hammers qualifier. anyone interested?
Supra 4x4 04-20-2010, 12:35 PM Hey Wade, it's "The Flats". For everyonelse it's in Marion, N.C. As Wade said ECORS is alot of fun, kinda a mini KOH style with a mix of fast sections and rock crawling and defintly an endurance kind of race as usually about half the field break before the end. Come on east coasters lets help build this series.

Congrats Wade and the whole Poor Boys Offroad Crew on a your 3rd place finish! Pulled it out even after that hard roll.

Air Ride 04-21-2010, 08:25 AM Nice, looks like you guys were getting it in those photos.
skonkerd 04-21-2010, 12:11 PM Yeah, z man had to let it all hang out to catch up and win, even after stopping to try and winch me back over. i felt bad about that broke winchline, at least i did until i realized you ran over my stearing wheel as you passed by me on my side.I was wondering, what is the worst carnage a ftoy has taken, i havent seen many pics on bent chassis. Mabey i can win an award for most bent ftoy.
ghettowheeler 04-21-2010, 06:08 PM Way to represent!!!
Ricks72ntx 04-21-2010, 10:52 PM Looks like a ton of fun! too bad theres no central series.
So does slow and steady win the race?

They are slowly starting spreading out further west. They are working on some Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama 2011 venues.
They will be also be hosting a KOH qualifier in Harlan KY this year.
Durable and consistent wins. Keeping your rig in one piece is key. Attrition rate is over 60%! Too many folks hit it too fast and break, roll or smoke a motor.
ftoy507 04-22-2010, 06:07 PM When is the next event?
skonkerd 04-23-2010, 02:52 PM because of the hammers qualifier the date had to be shifted, but it should be posted this week. i think its going to be in spartanburg.

Looks like June in Spartanburg. I will start prepping ASAP.
Jeep07 04-23-2010, 05:38 PM I might bring mine up to the harlan event for class B or Ftoy class. Looks like a blast.
Supra 4x4 04-23-2010, 07:05 PM For now there is no F-Toy class, we run in the b class. Come on out.
Jeep07 04-24-2010, 08:33 AM Did 1 team have sticky krawlers on their Ftoy in class B? Did they run just 1 locker? The way I understand it is you have to meet 3 of the 4 reqs. So the team running Irocks could use both lockers? Is that how its working? My guess from the courses in class B 1 locker is plenty.
Supra 4x4 04-24-2010, 09:44 AM They are blue label dot cert. crawlers, we checked. Just messin Wade.
skonkerd 04-24-2010, 11:25 AM our mechanic finally wrote dot on the tires with a sharpie just so you would quit asking. i would say there are some places a locker would be handy, but i comes in real handy when you loose about 5 teeth off the front ring gear.
dragr1 05-04-2010, 08:24 PM Nice job guys!
skonkerd 05-05-2010, 04:17 PM Hey auburn, why don't you come up and race with us? Or at least hang out and drink a beer. Fred has been racing c class.

I might come hang out at a race, but I have no interest in racing myself. I ain't looking for a second job! It's starts as fun and then becomes a job-been there with that back in my drag racing days.
I'm always down for beer though. :D
skonkerd 05-05-2010, 08:49 PM Well your allways welcome to hang out with the poor boys. There's no telling what might happen. We tried to red card zman last time, but he protested our protest.
