Myself and Mnstersbro are looking at attending. I am the go to rules guy, The Illinois the rules chairman if you will. In the rules chairman section of RCC they are currently setting up the 2008 rules. You'll probably have to run the 2007 rules until they are anounced to the public. If you need help let me know. 99% of all crawler courses are generally setup as gated runs. Tennis ball halfs mark the course the driver is penalized for reverses, touching gate markers, repairs, repositions, rollovers. Depending on the size or difficulty level of your course this may be the route you want to take.
The 2007 rules are here at this link.

Generally course construction needs to be very difficult. I'm not talking tiny rocks to high center on thats lame. The course needs steep climbs and obsticles that throw the truck off center. A difficult course gives the driver a sense of I can belive I made it through! Easy courses are pretty boring as most anyone can make it. The more rocky the better.
How large of a area do we have to work with?
