Get ready for the BIGGEST solid-axle RC monster truck race on the west coast as the 2024 Summer Showdown presented by Crawler Innovations returns to AMain Silver Dollar RC Raceway in Chico, CA Saturday October 26th for one big night of racing and freestyle competitions!
This year’s event will feature Pro Mod, Challenger, and for the first time, Retro Class racing as well as freestyle on a scaled-out dirt track. Full class rules are posted below. Gates and registration open at 11:00 AM with practice available from 12-2:00 and qualifying begins at 3:00. All trucks will be making two timed passes on the race course with the faster time used for seeding. The top 31 Pro Mod trucks will be seeded into the main field with spots 32 and on being placed in the Shootout Bracket to make the final spot of the main field.
Due to the size of the field, freestyle will be the same format as last year where racers get 100 seconds to have a full run, but just like the real thing, your run will end either by filling the clock or when the truck has rolled over and stopped all momentum or is broken to where it can no longer move. Rocking the truck back and forth using forward/reverse once the truck is on its lid will not be considered a save. Freestyle runs will be scored on a 40-point scale by four different judges with the following breakdown: 10 points for time used with a point being awarded for every 10 seconds filled with judge’s discretion to round up or down, 10 points for the use of the track (ie. hitting all the obstacles), 10 points for momentum and speed, and 10 points for the stunts and variety of tricks performed.
Entry fees are $20 for the first truck and $10 for each additional entry. Racers will receive a raffle ticket for each entry and additional tickets can be purchased in sets of 3 for $5. Make sure to pre-register here and guarantee a swag bag and having your choice of freestyle song. We will be raffling off a ton of prizes throughout the day courtesy of our incredible event sponsors.
