Keif, you officially have until September to come up with it.

We also have a 2nd sponsor donating something really cool to the non-Jeep prize (kinda along the lines of what AC is giving). People need to compete, otherwise it is just free mods for Roger!

Hmm i thought i had to fill out the form and send the check at the same time..

can you resend that form to president@texasnissantrucks.com i am at work and want to work on it here..

Form + Money. You do have to send em at the same time. I was just saying the event is not until September, so officially, you have until then.

Oh, and I just sent ya the form.

s

THanks for resending the form. I am going to go drop it in his mailbox today since it's right down the road.

How are the prizes going to work with people competing in different classes?

I gave the form and the money to his daughter I think?

I wonder what that could have been?

My truck is too modified and also outclassed. Damn drivetrain mods!

Oh, that and I have practically ZERO trail experience.

Outclassed by who? Roger or Keith? So far they would be the only ones you are competeing against...

Chris you would do fine, I am outclassed by Roger..this is just for fun. I don't think an R50 has ever been in a rock crawling competition and plan on having some laughs and floggin on the caR50 a bit.

you should do well against Roger if you get some better tires... neither of you is locked.... you're pretty similar, really.

Is their a comp just for us Nissans or something?

YES. The main comp is a general competition for everbody. BUT, the Jeepers want Nissans to get out there, and AC + another vendor are donating prizes for best placing Xterras (although I am contacting the Jeepers to make that open to Frontys and Pathys) no matter your class.

In short, you will compete against the Jeeps, but there is a separate prize listing so-to-speak for the Nissans where we all would go head-to-head for placement.

s

So just to make sure I have this correct, we would run twice?

I thought we just run with everyone else?

We run the same course as everyone else. However many runs we do, your score will be judged in two places. Against the whole group and against the Nissans. There will be no separate runs along the lines of one for the general population and one for just Nissan.

(And I say 'however many runs', becasue they may let people run 2 or 3 times like in AutoCrosses, but I will ask to make sure.)

s

So is the course the same for all classes?

They have not yet laid out the courses. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say each class will have its own course. (A locked truck running the same course as a stock vehicle would be silly.)

You gonna enter and run?

and I assume it's lowest time wins with penalities being X number of seconds added on... also if you run more than once only the best time is counted?

Doug from the Jeep club sponsoring this event would be an ideal source to contact with any questions...

doug@cowtownjeeps.com

The rules say the event is based on CALROCS scoring. If I remember correctly it is, in very short, lowest time with seconds added on for strapping, winching, going outside the lane etc.

I don't think I would be very competitive in the class I would have to run.

But that is just my point. It does not matter if you cannot hold up against the Jeeps, you score is gonna be rated against the other Nissans. I am gonna try an describe my point a tad better than I have.

Say you are 1 of 10 in your particular class
In your class you place 10th with a time of 45 seconds
In the other two classes, the top Nissan times are 55 and 50.

You will win squat in your general class, but 1st overall in the Nissan Shootout Class (as it is being called).

My point is that my class may be extremely difficult compared to the stock class. Therefore my time would not be comparable really. This is all because I got a BL me thinks.

Don't ya have a locker too?

Personally I think it would be cool if ya entered. More so if ya had a big ol Ghetto Fab sticker on your truck.

Maybe not locked, but I have a front LSD, crawler gears, and was planning on tightening up the rear LSD next month...

So come compete anyhow. Why have all that stuff and not use it?

Seriously though, I just talked with Doug, and they are gonna make the Xterra Shootout a Nissan Shootout to include Xs, Frontys and Pathys.
