I Will be in fresno for another two weeks, then I will be gone again. If anyone else is into scalers, then maybe we could gtg? I think shaver lake, or ? Heck, I've run my trucks a woodward park, its not a bad place. . .

Nice! I've heard a few people say that you are not supposed to run RC cars in the park but I couldn't imagine a crawler causing any trouble.

Has anyone checked out the N W corner of Millerton Rd. (Friant Rd.) and 206 (North Fork Rd.)? It looks like it could be fun, and I doubt anyone would give you crap for rearranging a few rocks... Here are the coord's:

119°42'43.68"W
36°59'28.34"N

I'm in for a g2g on weekday evenings or weekends...


UPDATE:
I took the long way home from work to check out the park and ride in Friant and it looks like it has some good potential.

> I've heard that as well, but never tested the theory - though if you happen to meet that 1 security guy who just won't be reasoned with..

- Definitely could find a good set of lines through the carnage during the daylight hours and it's unlikely anyone will bother besides curious fisherman + restroom patrons
- The rocks are almost all the same size though and unless you're running 5"+ tires w/bulletproof drivetrain, chances are good an innocent looking gap will suck you in & snap a driveline/shaft.
- Have a spotter (or stand) downhill from your rig @ ALL times in case of a rollover!

- Not trying to sound like a downer Funky, just be prepared if you run there and bring your spare parts (It eats body clips, driveshafts, shock caps & rod-ends w/o a hiccup).
- Keep an eye on the water level in Millerton Lake and be ready for the actual COMP spot to surface here within the next 4-6 weeks (Usually).
> This is approx. where "we" comp & practice - Everything a Shafty or MOA can tackle - Once water levels drops to the fall/winter norm it's ON.
