The rules are simple:
It's a two wheel drive hill climb. However, if there's enough 4x4's we'll have a class for them. If not they can enter but have to have their competing vehicle in two wheel drive.
There will be several hills of all types so classes aren't needed.
Every competitor will have three chances to climb every hill.
The hills will be marked, beginning, end, and any hard spots with flags, tape, paint or a combination of the three.
Every mark will be worth 100 points including the beginning mark.
A competitor will receive his or her points after their rear tires goes past the marker.
Once a vehicle's rear tires goes past the first or beginning marks it's considered one of the three tries each competitor gets.
The best of the three tries will be recorded as your score.
After a competitors three tries are used it's the competitors responsibility to go back to the official assigned to that hill, who will be standing at the bottom of the hill and get your receipt with your buggy number, hill number, points and their initials and keep up with it until the end of the hill climb. At the end of the hill climb we'll all get together and see who has the most points.
A full face helmet has to be worn while your on a hill.
4 or 5 point harness has to be worn anytime your in your buggy.
At least a 6 point roof. (Six bars leading up to the roof.)
Fire extinguisher that works, mounted so you and us can get to it quickly. (Prefer it mounted or taped lightly to a roof bar so someone can rip it off if needed but not damaged in a roll.)
Battery has to be strapped down securely.
Fuel tank has to be mounted securely.
Seats have to be mounted securely.
Can't noticeably be leaking any fluids.
All of these things will be checked at the drivers meeting.
Don't sit and dig holes for the next guy. There will be people with red flags. Their job is to keep people from digging holes after they stop moving forward. If they wave it at you, stop and back off or back up and try again. If you refuse to do so you may be disqualified.
Drivers meeting at the hill climb area at 10:00 AM April 11th sharp. This is when you will line your vehicles up side by side toward the hills, sign up and we go over everything you'll need to know and your buggy to see if it meets the above requirements.

PS This list may be added to as we think of it for added safety and fairness.
These are the rules he posted earlier in this thread.
