Go to www.USFS.com and look up Rimini Montana. Moose Creek camp area . The Comp site is on private property this year, we got a generous donation of land, 880 acres, about 5 square miles of wilderness, NO CAMPING on private ground, sorry. We will need to respect his ground and do a SERIOUS clean up before we leave. The road to the site is a county road, rimini road. It is dirt and gravel with washboards and bumps like most forest roads. Parking will be one thing we have to pay attention to for sure. If you can carpool to the site that will be very helpful. there is lots of room, however, if we have too many rigs, they will have to park in a single file line. There is pleanty of parking at the bottom of the hill, however, that is almost a mile from the comp site, so you will need to shuttle up there with others if you drive alone. Although scale rigs are the main theme of the event, bring anything you want. 2.2s and 1.9s will have the most fun here. We will run 2.2 comp rigs on their own course's, Sunday, USRCCA rules apply. http://usrcca.com/rules.htm We will have a raffle and drawing for this event, so if you and your company would like to donate raffle items and have your name on the Banner,Advertising, Magazines and T-shirts, please PM me. We need them by April 30th, no exceptions. List as of now for the raffle: Tamiya USA Title Sponsor Montana Scale Designs HPI Racing and HB Venom Group International Axial RCCrawler.com Tammies Hobbies TCS crawlers Scale4x4rc Reign RC Hand bros off road Creatacrawler wheels Maximizer products Proline racing Holmes Hobbies CKRC Crawlers Team Tekin USA Vanquish products Crawler Graphics Northland Hobbies Rocky Mountain Hobbies The Treasure Chest Futaba Panther RC4WD Taylors Hobby Products KXLH/ KRTV.com local tv stations Local newspaper will do 3 day coverage, helenair.com Local TV will do 2 nights on the news also. KXLH.com Number of vehicles per class will be limited to 40, so make sure you register early as there will be no extra spots. Remember you can only drive one vehicle in each class, meaning, if you want to run 1.9 and 2.2, you need 2 rigs. But multiple drivers can enter the same vehicle in any given class.

Whats the best hotel? I would like to stay around fellow crawlers so I can find the comp easier and possibly carpool up to the actual comp area.

Wonder what other gadgets I should bring along to mess with besides RC stuff. Think the motel would get pissed if we turned their parkinglot into a paintball course. | |
