    We will be enforcing the time called to the line rule. When the competitor in front of you starts, you should have your car in place and ready to go as soon as he is done. As soon as the judge is finished with the previous driver, they will start the stopwatch and give you 30 seconds to start your course. If you have not started your course within those 30 seconds, you will receive a 50 for that course and the judge will move on to the next competitor. The BPRCA will try to be as fair as possible with this ruling, but everyone needs to understand that there are 160 competitors and we have to finish in a timely manner.

NEW TECH RULE

    Each course judge now has a CKRC tech station.  If your rig is out of spec when its your turn to run, you will receive a 50 maximum point penalty and the judge will move on to the next competitor. NO EXCEPTIONS. Make sure your rig is set up properly to the 2009’ USRCCA rules.

    Estimated end of event is approx 4:00 to 5:00pm.

About Donner Ski Ranch

For almost 50 years Donner Ski Ranch has been family owned and operated, and many friends and wonderful memories have been made here.  We invite you to become part of the “Donner Ski Ranch Family” that has been returning again and again to enjoy the friendly family atmosphere.

Donner Ski Ranch is Enforcing the Following Rules:

• No dirt bikes.
• No cars or trucks.
• No beer bottles or glass on the mountain.
• No ice chest allowed, but soft pack coolers are acceptable.
If anyone is found violating any of the above, CalROCS will be escorting these people off the mountain, and you will not be allowed to return.

All drivers will receive a wristband for the weekend. Anyone who is in your group who is not competing will have to pay 15.00 for the 2-day pass or 10.00 for the 1-day wristbands. The bands are available at the front gate.

Food

Donner Ski Ranch has a on-site restaurant and bar, as well as a huge parking lot.

Please note that Donner Ski Ranch is approx 25 minutes from Truckee, CA and approx 1 hour from Reno, so please be aware that there are no stores in the near vicinity of the event and it is advised that you be prepared although there will be several event vendors on-site selling food and drinks.

Camping

As far as camping goes, Donner ski ranch has no fees. Donner has a large parking lot across from the main park and it is open to anyone. If you are looking to stay in a room, Truckee is the nearest location from Donner. Here is a link to the rooms, but for the cost and fun factor, camping is the best bet. Also, the camping lot is not an actual camping site. It’s a huge dirt lot for people looking to bring an RV or camp out and stay for the parties.

Rules

The 2009 WCC will be using a modified version of the 09’ USRCCA rules (visit usrcca.com for complete rules).

No judges needed! The BPRCA will provided 8 experienced judges and a head marshal. We take pride in fair competitions and believe that winning should be determined by driving, NOT JUDGING.

PLEASE NOTE: The 3 amendments:


2.2 Pro Class Requirements:



  • (1): Each driver will receive 1 warning per wheelbase for a back-up. If the vehicle rolls back less than 1" it is considered a warning. If it does it again, even less than an inch, that will be counted as a back-up. Anything over a 1" back-up is an intentional reverse and no warning will be called. You can only receive 1 warning per wheelbase of your rig. Example: You are negotiating a climb and have already received your warning. Anytime you back up or rock from that warning, it is considered a back-up until you have cleared the imaginary line where your warning was called. You must be 1 complete wheelbase past your warning to receive another free warning.
  • (2): There are NO repairs off-course. All repairs must be done on-course and on the clock.
  • (3): In 2009 there is no progressing a gate with 20 MAX points.


2.2 Novice Class Requirements:

This class is to promote the sport of RC crawling. These drivers should be entry level drivers that want to have the chance to compete at a championship event. The only changes are as follows:

  • (1): All USRCCA 2.2 vehicle requirements and rules apply to the novice class.
  • (2): No front or rear dig is allowed. If a novice driver is caught using dig, the driver will receive an immediate 50 for that course.
