Countdown To Rides of March 2010 (http://www.7is7.com/otto/countdown.html?year=2010&month=03&date=19&hrs=11&ts=24&min=30&sec=0&tz=-360&lang=en&show=dhm&mode=t&cdir=down&bgcolor=%23CCFFFF&fgcolor=%23000000&title=Countdown%20To%20Rides%20of%20March%202010)

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER (http://rom2010.eventsbot.com/)

Events:
Points will be awarded to each driver/spotter team in every event. The top 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams in points will receive prizes.

Blind Mans Run:
This will be an at will event and only for fun. You don’t not have to compete in it nor does it have a bearing on your score for the events on Saturday. The driver will be blind folded and has to trust on the eyes and direction of their spotter. This will take place on flat ground in a roped off course with no obstacles. Points will be deducted for going out of bounds and backing up.


RTI Ramp:
RTI Ramp scoring will take place when the safety inspection is done. The ramp will be at 20*. All wheels must remain in contact with the ground/ramp. The distance the vehicle can travel up the ramp without loosing contact with the ground is measured from the leading edge of the ramp itself to the point on the ramp just below the center of the hub of the wheel on the ramp. The distance is measured up the ramp and on the ramp, not to the actual hub of the wheel. That number is the divided by the vehicles wheelbase and then multiplied by 1000 to calculate the average. For example if a vehicle with a 81 inch wheelbase traveled 59 inches up a 20 degree ramp then the RTI would be calculated as: 59 divided by 81 x 1000 = 728 (rounded down). RTI score will be multiplied by 100 to reach final score.

ChiaSpeed:
Timed race that travels through 2 trails of BMRA. The course will be on trails ratings 2 and 3. Fastest times in each class wins. Each team will be released once the previous team has finished the course If you are not able to complete the course due to breakage or what ever other reasons, your time will be a set time that will be decided before the event starts. Extrication teams will be set up through out the course to help recover your vehicle and clear up the trails. Times will be multiplied by 100 and then subtracted from 1,000 to reach final score.


Rock Crawl:
A “Points by Distance” trip through the rock garden of BMRA. The farther you go in the rock garden, the more points you acquire. Each driver/spotter teams will earn 100 points for every foot they travel.

Chili Cook-Off:
Chili must be home made or cooked on site, not store bought or canned chili. The person who made the chili must be present a RoM to win chili cook-off. Voting will take place by silent vote. Ballots will be handed out, one ballot per wrist band, and every one will write down their top choice chili and turn in their votes.
People who want to be Chili Cook -Off Competitors please email us at [email protected].

Raffle:
Raffle is open to anyone attending the RoM and tickets will cost only $2.00 a piece.

I fogot to add that JPFreak Adventure Magazine will be out there to cover the event. It's a chance for those who come to become famous... lol

[BlueXJ]

Yeah $25 which includes a shirt and sticker, plus an armband for the Chili Cookoff. Great deal if you are anywhere near Gilmer, Tx.

[xxmidianxx]

Oh we have people coming from all over. Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Texarkana, Oklahoma, Arkanas, Colorado... and other areas.

I know its a drive for you. And I will fully understand you not coming.

[xxmidianxx]

Only 73 days left till the event.

[xxmidianxx]

So are there any great people from over here going to this event?

[kryptonitexj]

The GF and I are seriously thinking about it. Just need to find a room around there.

[Mudderoy]

We'll I'm torn. On the one hand I really enjoyed going out to Spring Creek and this sounds much more entertaining, but on the other hand it's a long ways away. Gas, gotta pay property taxes etc... this month, blah blah blah.

It really sounds like a lot of fun for the whole family.

I have stayed at the Gilmer Inn a few times. It is ok. There is another hotel or 2 in town, I just can't remember the names right now. I have a link posted on NAXJA and on the Registration page for the RoM.

BMRA is an awsome place. It makes the Creek look like a dog park. I understand the money thing... But to be honest, it's around $300 round trip. Thats for gas and park fees with a little left over for the "just in case" things.

[TeXJ]

So will there be trail riding going on too? If i go I'll go to just watch...

[xxmidianxx]

So will there be trail riding going on too? If i go I'll go to just watch...

Yes. We will have guided trail rides on Sat. afternoon. You can go on un-guided trail rides anytime you want to (within parks rules), we are not closing the park or any other trails then we need to for ChiaSpeed.

Merchandise, Raffle Tickets, Concessions or Chili Cook-Off Wristbands are open to anyone at the park that chooses to buy them. You pay our fee ONLY if you are going to compete in our events.

I hope to see you out there.

[TeXJ]

oh ok cool. Are there going to be like organized trail rides or just hook up with whom ya can? lol

[xxmidianxx]

The guided ones will be organized trail rides. Easy: 1's and 2's, Med.: 2's and 3's, Hard: 3's and 4's (maybe a 5 or so, depends on the group)

[TeXJ]

mediums should be 3s and 4s, but with how gilmer has be eroding 2s could be bad now lol. Where do we sign up for these, or do we have to?

Thanks for the info too, I know im asking a ton of quesitons lol

[xxmidianxx]

There will really be no sign up for the trails rides. We will see how many people want to join us and then divide them up. We will have preset trails for every group so you can decide on where you want to go and with who.
