Delta Classic; class question

[Johnny Quest]

I've got to think competition courses vs trail riding is a lot like the comparison made between street racing vs strip. Two completely different things. I do ok on the trail but competing would be a completely new experience. The Delta event always sounds like a lot of fun!

It’s totally different than trail riding. Instead of making a big waterfall climb, you’re trying to miss a cone. Which sounds lame, but it’s such a blast. Make it happen; you won’t regret it.

What's the best way to get around during the event? Walking, bicycle, mini-dirt bike? sxs?

Minibike is my preferred method of travel for sure. Until I forget where I left it and end up wandering for 10 min 🤣

I also let other people use it to get around so maybe I’m not totally senile

What will be my point penalty for having the YJ in stock class? Maybe penalty me for the ORIs and links but let me have some points back for the 33s?🤣

10 point penalty. No tire size bonus points cause that really sucked.

The real question is whether or not your wheelbase is within 3” of stock. It’s usually better to get ahead of it and take penalty points for it rather than have somebody challenge it. I’d have to check with Ryan but I think 10 points for that is fair too. It’s clearly a stock class rig so I have no interest in moving you to legends.

Edit: the WB penalty may or may not be necessary either and I fully claim the right to enforce or not enforce penalties. A lot of it depends on what exceptions we make for other competitors and what the class looks like overall. It’s surprisingly fluid and requires being open minded. Long story short, don’t envy my position 🤣

I haven’t seen a post with actual details about a schedule yet… Is that a thing that gets done?

Yeah I’ll post about it in a few days. Do it too long before the event and everybody just forgets the details. I’ll get you the times in a bit

I really don't even know where I am at. So I must be within that allowable range.

What's the allowable wheel base stretch? 🤔 I really don't even know where I am at. So I must be within that allowable range.

“Within 3” of stock”

Then rock race (if there’s enough interest)
