Greetings from the LDRS40 Launch Director!
***this post has been edited to correct the motor information below ***
***this post has been edited to add Registration information below ***
***this post has been edited to update the TRATECH planning ***
ROC is ready to host LDRS, which will be held concurrently with our 2022 June ROCStock. You can find a lot of information on how ROC runs a launch on our website:
https://rocstock.org
Some quick hits:
LDRS40 will still be June 9-12, 2022.
The Launch Site is Lucerne Dry Lake, Lucerne Valley, CA
-June can be extremely hot (100-115º at our launch site).
-This is a “no shade”, bring everything you need with you type of launch site.
https://rocstock.org/camping-survival/
-Camping on site is allowed and encouraged, but be prepared as this is not campground camping!
-There are lots of hotels in three directions (Barstow, Victorville/Hesperia, and Big Bear) within an hour of the launch site.
More info and directions at:
https://rocstock.org/site/
-Standard ROCStock Altitude limits will apply, 17,500 MSL (14,500 AGL) with call-ins to 20,000 MSL (17,000 AGL).
-CA Motor limits apply…All motors must be CA OSTM-certified, single-motor “M” limit, total vehicle impulse is also “M”. (CA OSTM Regulations)
COVID:
Right now…ROC operates in our COVID protocol (there are some lightweight restrictions, but we’re outdoors so they’re minor).
Local hotels currently operate with various COVID protocols in place, check local requirements.
Honestly, who knows what the situation will be in June, we’ll roll with it…
TRATECH:
We have coordinated with the Tripoli TRATECH committee and are planning to host TRATECH again on the Thursday and Friday afternoons of the launch at the host hotel.
Vendors:
This is a BLM site and ROC has a fantastic relationship with our BLM office so we’re working with them to smooth out the permitting process. In the meantime, if you are a vendor that sells motors, you should start the process now get your permits for selling motors in California on Federally-managed land started in January. Contact the ROC Board via the website if you need any help. Smaller vendors (e.g. you don’t sell motors), stay tuned as we’re going to try to work out an arrangement to get a group permit to allow you to work through ROC to vend.
LDRS40 Registration Information:
LDRS40 Registration will open sometime in January after we get our site up and running, however, here are some planning particulars:
Pre-Registration:
Please consider pre-registering as it helps us with planning for trash, shade, and bathrooms on the lakebed.
You have incentives to pre-register:
1) You won’t have to wait in line to get checked-in,
2) You’ll get a cool, pre-printed badge and lanyard to hold your TRA credentials,
3) You will get an exclusive LDRS40 commemorative pin, and
4) The average flyer will save 50% on the launch fee.
Pre-Registration will close on May 31st, 2022.
Fees:
Non-ROC members:
Pre-Registration will be for the entire event only and will be $30.00.
After May 31st, 2022, the launch fee is $20/day.
ROC members:
LDRS is included in your 2022 membership, pre-registration is requested.
-If you would like to join ROC for $60/calendar year, then visit https://rocstock.org/join/
-We STRONGLY recommend that you join online before the pre-registration period ends as joining at the event will take a long time.
Banquet:
More information to come in January.
We should have more details in January including the location of the host hotel, registration information, and more! The website should go live sometime shortly after the new year.
