Looking forward to finding out some more details on pricing and classes. Had a lot of fun last year, but didn't stand a chance the way the classes were set up. 		Reply

Hey Josh, we figured it was the case with the class set-up last year so we are getting another system figured out. We'll post those and the rest of the registration information as soon as we get it in hand. Keep posted! 		Reply

i am wanting to say its great to hear you guys are having something  but i want to say the rules last year  were fine ive been racing for over 11 years and the rules never make everyone happy the point system is the best way 		Reply
From All Seasons on Monday, March 22, 2010 11:27:54 AM
Dirty Dawg: Thanks for your input on the current system. For the most part it should be the same but there were so many people in the 300 class last year so it looks like it's going to get tweaked just a little bit. 		Reply

i sent you my email address would you right me back i would like to talk with you on this if i could thanks 		Reply

Qualify rigs by the actual times they run. No point system will ever be able to cover all the variations that are possible in mud bog racing. There are too many Classes.Race what you built.It is ok to have all the stock classes but in Modified there are too many ways too get horsepower and traction. Take it easy and don't make so much work to point out rigs. Make them run a Qualifying time. Fastest first and last for the best show. 		Reply

No tuff truck? I won it last year, looking for a place to race it around again. 		Reply

Stephan,we're not going to to do the Tough Truck at the Othello event. November '09's event had all events in one day. That day was way too long.  Currently working on a 2 day event for later this year which should break it up a bit.
BUT, for NOW we were able to get into Othello at short notice and we're just going to do a 1 day event. 		Reply

Thanks for the info I'll be there all the way from Spokompton representing Northwest Mud Trucks and Reiter Machine and Fabrication

dont have a cage but have a roll bar for crawling..is hat acceptable or do i have to have a full cage 		Reply
From zack berg, owner on Thursday, April 15, 2010 6:20:51 PM
a roll bar is up to the techs and only y&z class requires full roll cage. 		Reply
From Cody on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 6:18:52 PM
Is the role cage for all rigs. Or is it only for right with a soft top?
A friend and myself have full cab trucks with out role cages. Would we be able to run? 		Reply
From zack berg, owner on Thursday, April 15, 2010 6:18:43 PM
roll cage is only for rock crawl classes y&z. no one else needs a roll cage for the other events. 		Reply
From Mike on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 9:07:20 PM
Will 38.5 inch tires be 400 or 500 class 		Reply
From All Seasons on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 10:55:17 PM
Mike: 38.5" would be considered 500 class 		Reply
From Paul on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 9:23:42 PM
What are the Race entry fees per vehicle, per class?  Is the Pit Pass in addition to the General Admission? 		Reply
From All Seasons on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 10:54:43 PM
Paul:Race entry fees are listed on the registration form. There is a link to the forms right below the Driver Participant paragraph and right above the Comments box.Spectators can either purchase a General Admission ticket for $10 or lets say they have a buddy who is racing, they can buy a Pit Pass/Bank instead for $12 		Reply

I will be there and trying to get 4 other trucks ready 		Reply

Hi guys, just a little note:
1 registration per driver, 1 registration per vehicle. 		Reply
From joe on Thursday, April 15, 2010 9:48:15 AM
tire size does not seem like the correct way to break the classes the point system seems to be the best becouse if i have 40 inch tires and im all stock why should i go against the dirtdawg and what if a guy like that puts on smaller tires like 35 he would be in a lower class would that be fair 		Reply
