NOR CAL OHV Challenge???

Drunkenblade · Nov 26, 2007

Yes, I know Hollister Hills is amazing! Cow Mountain is the bomb! and Prairie City is lame...
BUT
What OHV area has the BEST team???

Just a thought?!?

What if each OHV area in NOR CAL hosted thier own event, maybe three classes and the winners(team) would all compete against each other in an event at an OHV Park that was choosen by Poll???
entry fee?
prizes?
awards?
annualy?

Bragging rights!!!

Just FUN!!!

Could be fun but theres always that insurance thing.

O and Hollister will lay the smack dowm

Drunkenblade · Nov 26, 2007

Since the events are hosted at established OHV areas... Does that mean we would have to have seperate insurance or does the Park cover it...
My thought is that the Parks insurance would be sufficient...

RickyRetardo · Nov 26, 2007

Kind of thinking out loud but what if a single obsticle was chosen from each park, say tank trap or mini-rubicon from Hollister and something else from the other parks and the contestans would run each of those? If we keep it informal then we wouldn't need to have the park closed down just for us and worry about insurance. Thoughts?

great idea i would be down to have a little competition going for shits and giggles, i say carnagie's should be the rock pit because i dont think anything else there is really worth while...the new hill climb is pretty sweet tho

I do not think Carnegie, even with the new obstacles, would be worth the effort...

UNLESS you created a course over the boulder pile....even then it's blah.

Kurtuleas · Nov 27, 2007

I will e-mail Tony from Golden-Gate petro and see if they would be willing to hold/sponser some type of "Battle of the Parks" event..

He told me he was looking for something like that.

What if we made it as a fund-raiser for FOE?

That could be a possible magazine article for me!

ROCK ON

Now if we could get some people from each Park to start formulating ideas about "BASIC" rules, Classes and what not...
Please keep posting your comments on what you want...

Is there anyone intrested in this that will be at the Toy Run in Natomas Sat or at the FOG clean-up Sun??? I would like to start making some contacts inorder to get the ball rolling!

Show your PARK pride!!!

If it were me, I would use the same rules and classes as Bonner did with CalRocs in October... He used WE Rock's rules and broke it down by tire size and novice-pro

Tire Size: under 35”
Tire Size: 36” to 39.5”
Tire Size; over 40”

Then again, I would think you would have to eliminate Pro and just go with the sizes..

Before you start getting people, you need to think about how you are gonna run it, safety requirements, course design, liability etc.

There is A LOT of work to be done if you want it done right.

It's fun for close to home, but not worth it for a comp.

What if....

We somehow got the Altamont to stack boulders in the in-field and hold a comp there? Kinda like the Placerville RockN for the Kids?

It would be REALLY close for the 4x4 crowd in our area....(We could draw from the Bay-area as well as Stockton/Sac.)

Anyone have any connections there?

Kurtuleas · Nov 27, 2007

Actually, Altimont would be a great venue for CalRocs becuase it could draw A TON of people with it's location...

When I lived in Tracy, Carangie was about a 5 minute drive for me, but I think I went there ONCE with my rig and never went back....

Drunkenblade · Nov 27, 2007

It is understandable that places like Prairie City may not be much of a challenge for the big boys, but this is what could make it all interesting for the smaller OHV's...
Having a team event (one vehicle per class) should even some things up...

Courses??? I would think that the Reps from each Park would organize that part and that "all" Park Reps would have the final vote...

I could not find the CALRocs rules, but did find the WE Rock rules easily! Can we get WE Rock to let us use a modified version of thier rules???

On the Liability, I don't think we a re asking to close a Park for an Event, therefore if we keep within the Safety requirements of the Park we should be fine... Although, if we are able to gain enough attention we could always ask some one to sponsor the event... WE Rock???

Organizing reliable Reps from each Park and finding out if there will be enough intrest is a must at this point.

If some one from each area could chime in with some suggestions on how to rally the troops, this would help!

Kurtuleas · Nov 27, 2007

Bonner used a modified version of the WE Rock rules (I think)

PM Big Rich and ask him.....

Valley Auto · Nov 27, 2007

What about having the local clubs of each OHV each send a represenitive/contestant that they consider to be the most capable?

NOR CAL OHV Challenge???
