Three comps (Natural Dam, OK; Jacksonville, AR and Springdale, AR), 3 weekends in a row. That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah, i knew that in my head.

Springdale, Bentonville, Rogers, Fayetteville, any other town up in that area. It's all the same to me now. They all run together these days.

How do you think a non-dig rig would do? Is there a super class running as well?

No difference. Unless a course builder builds something out of the ordinary. Run what you got (or bring another tire/foam option).

See post #20. The Fake dams sites are man-made dams that have alot of grip so the indoor course should be good too.

Thinking I might be better off running the Axial chassis instead of my tuber. Also realized I don't have a BEC for my super since it went in the 2.2...going to have to forget the 3s's and revert back to 6 cell stick packs...:-(

Funny thing is, she'll go longer than 3 hours to find a casino...:lol: But yeah, she's not into me going that far to play. Oh well...

18 hours? Damn. You's hardcore!

Say, do they sell Axial parts at that Hobbytown? I'm just checkin...looking at some of those cubes gives me the feeling I'm gonna be popping an axle or two.

Depends on how many show up, but I'd say 2 to 4 hours. It free crawl, so you could just zip through and get the hell out if you want to. We keep things rolling so they go pretty quick. "thumbsup"

The cool thing about these is , put one on a slant and is all different. Lots of lines just on one cube. You'll have to come check it out sometime.

Cool beans. I was just wondering how late I wanted to make the trip back home. I'm not the hardcore road warrior that I used to be. :ror:

That should give me lots of time for some after-comp bashing...assuming you fellers do that sort of thing.

Oh, and I didn't muck up my diff, the damn set screw was half backed out. I went through the other night and lock-tighted everything...except for that one. :roll:

Sweet! I didn't come in last! "thumbsup"

That was a good time, just wish it was a bit closer.

Learned a couple things too...like my tires were too short (both rigs), and competing against rigs equipped with dig when yours doesn't is a bitch. :lol:

Also, that outdoor comp spot you told me about, is nuts. You were right when you said that you can make some impossible lines there. I kept saying to myself "there's no way" which was almost always followed by "yup, there it goes!".

Anyways, thanks for a good comp, can't wait to do it again (with dig).

I was really suprised that those "rocks" are a lot slicker than they appear. Probably a blessing and a curse all at once.
