10.3 All reverses made during a self recovery attempt count as reverse penalties.

11.2 A back is not counted when an obstacle pushes the vehicle back.

15.1 Track Scorekeeper / Track Marshal have the final say in all cases save for a misunderstanding of a rule.
15.2 Marshals can overturn a decision in cases of misunderstanding of rules or in extraordinary cases. This is true whether the points are given to a team or taken away. A Marshal will not over-turn a “judgment call.” i.e. a call on a cone, out of bounds, reverse, etc.
15.3 If a call comes into question during a team’s attempt on a course, the competing team should call a time-out immediately. The course Scorekeeper will stop the time and the problem will be addressed through the Track Scorekeeper or Track Marshal.
15.4 One competitor protesting another competitor does NOT stop the clock.
15.5 The protesting competitor must wait for the completion of the obstacle before issuing protest. One competitor may NOT protest another on “judgment calls”, as described above, unless there is a clear “misunderstanding of the rules.

-Rear steer is allowed
-Digs are allowed
-Rock racing courses will be scored on time, any penalties incurred under section 2 of these rules will have the equivalent penalty in seconds added to the course time/score

SPIRIT OF THE CLASS - Surely you do not need me to clarify this for you but I will, if you are about to commence on a modification and think to yourself, 'I wonder if this will be allowed', it probably won’t. So ask first as denial at the start gate will be sure to annoy and we the marshals will not be entering into a childish debate about it. No will mean NO.
If you are looking to bend a rule to suit your wants this will be seen as out of the spirit of the class. You’re not stupid; please do not leave the marshals/ scrutineers in a position to tell you otherwise.

NB. These rules may be subject to change up until no later than 1 week prior to the commencement of racing season.

for the newbies here, what is this like and basically is a standard honcho ok, or does it require modification to comply.

I haven't got my roster for this date yet and may consider it, but am worried its out of my league and i don't have the right equipment required to give it a good go for the team.

Advice?

Mate this is not a teams event and you can run a stock honcho but there are penalties for reversing and hand of god and sometimes a boundary if marked but other than that it is a relaxing day of crawling with some good people but a little more completive than the scale garage comps but you will have a ball there are wood fire BBQ and toilets but no shops close for food and drinks Plenty of grass for the kids to run around but no swings so might get a little boring ( I'm know mine does and he drives but still whinges). So come along and meet some new faces and see some of the best Rc crawling in Brisbane

ok, no worries, what are the costs invovled, entry etc, and basically all you need for scale is the vehicle and radio, and you drive.

How many runs do you normally get? and i see we have to act as track marshalls etc do they show you what to do?

I'll suss out my roster and see what i can do
