I'm REALLY looking forward to this. Havn't raced these in years. Some grest tracks there too, it should be a blast!

I'll be in on this.... The only downside is the timing... It'll be sandwiched between watching the Spa race and racing a Spa race at CORE... But I'll have a few hours of fun in the meantime

Yey!

Don't recognize most of these tracks, so it should be interesting to see them in action.

Looking at the calendar, Sept 2nd looked so far away, but it's just two weeks away. lol I'm really looking forward to this. It would be really great if we could get a lot of drivers out for this.

Are the basic default setups generally drivable or is a new setup a definite must?

I think I take a look at this, sounds a bit like good old Leadfoot Stadium Offroad Racing.

Depends on the vehicle. All can use some handling tweaks, but on dirt with fixed engine settings, it is limited what can be done. Upgrades in the VORRA buggies do make a difference.

Never raced these things, but have played around just for fun. Looking forward to this.

I'll slap myself silly on this, but I want to do it.

I've run at Chula, Coyote, Desert Mesa, and Devastation when we did these about 4 years ago or so. Great courses, lots of fun, and have the beer cold (or warm for you odd Euro folks).

Also, crank up the engine sound!

And you snooty open wheel or proper racing only guys listen up! Last time we ran these we had people from every style of racing hop in and everyone had a blast. Some even did extremely well at the racing while having fun! Picture Skoda fun, but with big 4X4 trucks and buggies on slippery sand and dirt...with jumps! Yeehaw!

I'd planned on working our base's airshow on that Sunday, but this will be much more fun! Plus I'll work our airshow that Friday and Saturday anyway...lol.

How are we going to do these races? Separate races for the CORR trucks and the VORRA buggies, or every thing together?
