PARC '06 Comp #3 February 19

[kevinlongisland]

azvader, tables and chairs would probably be a good idea. If you could bring them that would be great. I'll be bringing my spec class truck as well. I spoke with Jay and he is coming. I'll try to remember and give Ron a call.

Morrison, let me know if you need a tq3.

i have a few of those road barrier the type that are one pole with a heavy rubber base, i could bring a few of those if we need stuff for the poles still.

[grover]

Kevin, how many copys of the flyer would you like made up?

[kevinlongisland]

shortbusjeep, the road barrier with a heavy rubber base would be perfect!!!!!! Please bring them along.

Grover, your guess is as good as mine. I'm thinking we'll go through at least 150 day. I can run some off at work if you want to email me the file.

Thanks for all your help guys.

I'm sure 6 will be more than enough. We need them to cord off the comp rock pile. We don't want people all over the comp area. But don't get in trouble man. We can work something else out if these won't be legally acquired.

[shortbusjeep]

naw the guy let us barrow a few the other day to make a autocross course, they rented like twice as many as they needed so they have a bunch just sitting around.

[kevinlongisland]

Cool!! That works out great then, because we need them.

Don't think I'll make this one but me and the SoCal crew will proabably make it out to a future comp.

We would be glad to have you guys. We may be doing the 1:1 WEROCK rock crawling event in Globe, AZ. That would be a good event to attend if you like allot of spectators and a crowd. If a more laid back relaxed type of event is your thing your best bet would be to attend one of our normal local events. Anyway, hope to see you out here sometime!

Ok, here is the latest info. I will be getting VIP passes and handing them out. So to get in free you have to be there between 9am and 9:30am. We will have someone near the gates to hand out the passes. If you can't find anyone from PARC, ask the people at the gate for anyone running the r/c event. I foresee the biggest problem this weekend is going to be getting you guys in free without any problems. We will try to have someone at the gates as much as possible.

To help with this, anyone attending PM me your full name and I will compile a list for the event organizers. This way if no one from PARC is at the gate, you can still get in. Grover and I are going to check out the spot tonight and may have more info later.

I drove on the rocks today that our comp will be on. Very slick. They had dirt and dust all over them. I had asked the organizers if they could use their water truck and spray the rocks down. Hopefully that will help. If anyone can bring a broom or brush with them to further clean the rocks that will be great. Giant tracs where horrible, weighted moabs will probably work better.

The turnout today was VERY low. Hopefully there will be more people there tomorrow and Sunday. I spoke with Big Rich from WEROCK and it sounds like we are a definite go for the Globe event.

Also, each competitor plus one family member will receive free VIP passes to get in at the Average Joe event this weekend. It looks like they are starting the 1:1 trucks at 12pm now to give people more time to show up.

[kevinlongisland]

The turnout at the 4x4 challenge was much better today and there should be some fun stuff to see there tomorrow.

The comp will now start at 9:30am to give you west valley guys a little more time to get out there. Also, these rocks are very slippery and we have dumbed down the stages some. Anything that anyone can bring to clean off the rocks will be great. They are dusty and dirty. Brushes and maybe some water will help us clean the rocks down and hopefully increase traction. See you guys in the morning.

It also looks like we are set to do both WEROCK and UROC events here locally.

Had a good time today, and it was nice to meet big and lil Rich.

Chad-

[azvader]

I have a blast today !!!! I've never seen a REAL 1:1 crawler in person before, most impressive. I can't believe the similarities between our RC crawlers and the full size counterparts.



Tony got us started


Kev getting twisted


RICH !!!


My turn


Chad crawling while Kev schools the 2.2s

[azvader]

The 2.2s had an easier time with the rocks supplied but it wasn't easy.

Kev, Rich, or lil Rich, Sticky did some crawling !!!

[azvader]

It's always fun to crawl two classes side by side...







Makes for some cool pics !!!

[WRMorrison]

I had a great time today as well. I really need to work on my patience a bit more though now... ...(hence my crappy scores). It was awesome to meet Big and 'Lil Rich and put a face to the names. Both of which are stand-up guys, very approachable. I'll get what little pics I have uploaded shortly.

I had a great day also. Big and lil Rich from WEROCK spent a great deal of time hanging out with us today and we where glad to have them. The comp stages turned out to be more fun than I thought they would be considering the terrain. Thanks to everyone that came out.

[Don]

I wish I could have made it out there. But I had to work at the last minute.
