Bald rock run next Sunday gentleman. I'm sure some of you have been there before. We have not yet setup a time or meeting place yet. Probably sonic or mickey D's would be the place to meet then head out. For those of you who haven't been to bald rock, its crawler heaven. Any and all crawlers are welcome and we will be going as long as we can.

Just want to share some info with our fellow crawlers. Went camping last week- PIPI CAMPGROUND; that is a nice place for scale crawlers. the rocks are perfect for scalers. Can crawl from the far back campsite to the front campsite entrance.

I'm always interested In How other parts of the world enjoy their rc's so on YouTube they show a lot of indoor events where it's a huge dirt area and there are trails carved into the dirt with flags marking out the path. Does anybody know\do that here in sac or near sac? Thanks just looks interesting to me

[minicrawlerguy530]

The bald rock run is post poned until the Sunday after the u4 race in auburn. I'm trying to have a big group come out for the day, and a few people can't make it so same time of day and place, just 2 weeks later. I hope to see some peoe show up

my guess is it's because the weather sucks everywhere else and you have to keep it indoors 9mo of the year
i haven't been in the RC hobby for long, but didn't Cap City RC (I think that's the name), when they used to be closer to Sac, have indoor crawler areas?
IIRC, there is an indoor crawler course up in Grass Valley(?)

I'm looking at the ones where it's just a giant pile of dirt basically with a road shoveled into it I don't know why but that looks fun to me ya know... No insane gates set up by anybody "jrock" and you can just cruise around and have fun

Only wish if fast track can mod the track; or hobby town can open a new indoor track again. The old track @ Pep Boys was nice.

LOL, all the crawler guys who went didn't want to pay to use the crawler course and then whined about everything...therefore no more crawler course at Fast Track...LHS has to make at least a little money to pay for AC/heat, lights and battery charging electricity.

You guys are lucky to live in the Sac. area with all those scale spots just a few miles away. Who needs indoor that's what scaling is all about, get outside and trail with your friends!

Yes i totally understood got to pay to play, no free ride. But also fair to say there is a huge increase in "SCALE" crawling scene compared what we had in the past. Capital City is also closed. Once a month GSRCC or GTG is not enough. Hope these tracks owners will reconsider an indoor track. Even Sheldon has a small scale friendly place to chill when it rains. Fast track can make it a little bit more scale friendly and size it up. I am sure more family folks will appreciate the track and willing to pay for sure... just saying...

Where is the place in Sheldon? Im in Elk Grove and never heard of it. I would love a place close to home that my kid can go to and play.
