justin I thought it was 59th as a matter of fact I'm sure its 59th ave. well if your comeing from the south you would take 59th ave and it curves into pinnacle peak and your in the park.theres a few entrances on both sides of the road. better yet heres a map push the map north past bell past loop 101 and then go to 59th ave,I tried to get it to go strait there but it didnt work
oopps sorry but I couldnt get it to post a pic so I copied the address,just copy and past in your browser.anyways its Tunderbird park and if you look at the map you'll see where 59th ave turns into Pinnacle Peak Rd. thats where its at.

I looked back at the comp results and it looks like we see about 12 to 20 trucks at each event. We try to wrap things up around one if possible.

I wasn't sure myself, so i did a quick search. Looks like the oldest post on here for an event was on 7-23-04. So I guess PARC is about 1 1/2 years old now.

we should come up with a logo and get some stickers made. here is my idea but i only have access to paint so everyone post up their ideas and if someone could redo mine in a good softwear that would be cool.

Ya know, I never knew how much I loved Arizona till I left it.I think thats a great logo and I would sport it on anything..good job

well I got my clod today and tested it out..man these things really need alot of work from stock lol. I've already drawn up a chassis and I'll have it made,hopefully by the end of next week,depends on how much work I got at work.good thing I ordered my 9t pinions a few days ago they'll be here mon.

I like both, I think maybe the rectangler one more though...I dont know theose oval ones remind me of those stickers you buy at a gas station that have some stupid stuff on 'em..
but I would say see who likes what more and go with it

i also like the rectangular one more. They look good and thanks for the work. The only thing i think can be improved is the fact that PARC doesn't really stand out.

ya i realized that, the AZ flag has to many colors, but im just gonna bring this over to the guy i know, dose logos and stuff also and see what he can do i just like to have an idea whan i show up, plus ill have him do it and im sure he can shadow the letters or something to help, and clean the tire tracks up a little.


this is what he did for our 4wd club, edit-- ok just looking at the 4wd logo what if i did a circle with the flag and tire tracks and parc rapped over the top like erau is.

that logo looks really nice. Something like that would be sweet! That would be cool if he could get a crawler in there too!
