Question for the masses,...

Ok I have an idea,.. if there is truly interest in the smaller tire class, let me shoot out an idea,.. Now keep in mind it takes a lot to make a course, set up the events, get it all rolling so,…

 Make it hard for Kevin to turn down,.. Lets say Min 10 Rigs , Max 20 ,.. now here is the trick each team entered will offer up 2 People as volunteers for a few weekends for track prep or whatever Kevin and the HRC team needs to get done for 2009. Pony up the dough for the entry fee, Line up your team volunteers and get it all set up with Kevin by say December 15th and then maybe the HRC will go for it. There was in the past a smaller tire class but there was a lot of people who said they would be there but no one showed,..

Who'd be in?

Great comments the HRC organizers are listening and aware that the “Grass Root Competitor” needs to be included to keep the comp scene alive and thriving into the future, but making it work is a huge hurdle. As it sits a well equipped stockish rig can be competitive at HRC. Tim and Jennsen finished in the middle of the pack in 08 running the same course as the big dogs. Keep in mind they are still competing in their own class. The cup is open for all trucks regardless of class so to be fair, everyone has to run the same course.
Can a rig with 35’s or 37’s win the cup? The odds are against them but it could be done. As previous comps have shown anything can happen over the 2 days.
I encourage all rigs that fall into the pro stock class as it sits to enter and give it a shot. The course is tough but it’s doable. We go to great lengths on the course design as to not to wreck your trucks but still make it tough and exciting. We leave the truck thrashing up to you. What do have to loose? The entry fee is only $75 with 100% payback plus we usually collect additional prizes and spread it around the best we can.
It may be that HRC isn’t the comp for stockers or for a beginner, for those who think it’s to extreme there are other comps to cut you teeth on eg: W.E. Rock, Mud Bogs, Tough Truck
If someone or group was step up to the plate we would consider a separate event or an event within an event to cater to the smaller tire group. This needs to be done within the next couple months. We are at our limits of staff and budget as it is. We also have to answer to insurance companies, county, DOT, police, neighbors etc etc etc

Here’s what I can say for certain for what’s planned for HRC09 on July 4th and 5th
which by the way is THE GREATEST REDNECK SHOW ON EARTH

Format will stay similar to 08 but the trench is gone and the obstacles will be tuned down a little to allow for more speed
In tribute to the U.S. July 4th holiday - free entry to any U.S. competitor
LIVE BANDS Saturday eve (kick-arse recording artists are already booked)
Short Course Racing
