Default Site for centrally located crawling comp (Utah, Colorado, AZ

I was looking on a map at locations at the center of Provo Utah, Colorado Springs and Phoenix. Here is what i came up with. I will try to scout out some of these spots when i'm coming back from Moab.

.....................................phoenix....pr ovo....colorado springs
kayenta, arizona.............6..........8.5......7.25
shiprock, new mexico .....6.5.......8.........9
bluff, utah ..........................8..........6.5.......8
mexican hat, utah...........7.5.......7.25......8.5
moab, utah.....................7.25.....4.25.......6.5

Bluff, mexican hat, and kayenta look good.

Ahhh... you're leaving out the BEST crawlers... ORCRC. Gotta find something that'll fit with us as well.

ORCRC is all shafties... so we know how to drive the shafts

hey toyo. i'd love it if all the west coast guys could crawl together. but your just so damned far up there. too far to drive. but i'd like to make it up there some time and crawl with you guys. the r/c rock crawling community is so small it would be nice to come up there and meet all you guys. i'd have to fly up though. that's why i was so bummed out when i couldn't make it to sept 11 in colorado, i wanted to meet fishmaxx. hopefully i'll get to meet some of the colorado guys at the moab comp.

Bolder City, Nevada? There are always cheap flights to Las Vegas. And there is plenty of rocky terrain on Bolder City. it's just 30 or so miles fron Vegas.

It would be GREAT to compete with the OR and WA crawlers. Also all you CA crawlers too. A Western Regonal would be great.

I'd be down with the first three I'm only 4 hours or so out from them.

Too bad flag isn't further north or I'd be a better candidate.

Phoenix AZ; 12 hrs
Flagstaff AZ; 10 hrs
Colorado Springs CO; 9 hrs
Los Angeles CA; 10 hrs

Pinchy and Kaetwo have been holding centrally located comps.

14 people signed up for Dirk's only 7 showed up

I trust Pinchy and Kaetwo to pick a location. You can't make everyone happy, and you should not try.

I would prefer a location near an airport like Boulder City or Salt Lake City.

I'm not tryin to shoot down yer idea Kevin. I was just pointing out that if we include the ORCRC guys, Salt Lake was actually pretty central.
Actually if we include Fishy that puts us somewhere near Nebraska as the central location
If you wanna look at New Mexico and Nevada that is cool, I am down for that as well.
I just remember this: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum3.html

I guess my title was missleading. I guess my main point is this: I would like to compete in comps but the 12 hour drive I made to provo for Rumble #2 was just too much. i would like to compete in the comps but colorado springs and provo are both about 12 hour drives for me. Too far. (but i guess compared to Fishmaxx, a 12 hour drive is nothing)

If you guys would attend, i would like to find some places that are max 7 hour drives for everyone. I'm up for an event in the more westerly direction pinchflat. I just want to try to find places within 7 hour drives for the utah,colorado, and arizona guys. We can do west central too, for utah, california, arizona.

I hear ya Kevin, 12 hours is too long for a wekend trip. I'm down for AZ, NV, NM, UT area stuff for sure. Let us know what you find on your way back from Moab and maybe we can figure this out.
