Horsetooth is the spot. 9/30/07

We have a choice of 2 spots, one involves a short hike and well the other does too, but we may be able to use the gate like last time for a junk shuttle. I think we should aim for the new spot, Soldier Bay.

Dylan will get the directions up and some pics, thank you Dylan!!

As always Hobbytown is throwing down gift certificates for the top 3 in each class.

Are you ready?

dystance · 09-16-2007, 10:18 AM

So here is the plan. Let me know your thoughts.We are proposing Soldier Bay as the location. Parking will be at the same area as the last comp at Horsetooth ( refer to directions below ).

There is a small parking lot on your right less than a minute past the main parking area. This is where the short hike starts. Just follow the trail along the rock face down towards the water. Near the shore there is a place to get around the rock to the left. You can't miss it.

This will mean that you should pack effieciently. No wagons! the trail is narrow. It will take 5 minutes to get to the area in a rocky cove on the reservoir. Good foot wear is suggested. Bring lunch if needed. Bring water and sunscreen if its warm.

We can have a few vehicles at this smaller free lot to help with keeping toolboxes and some personal gear at the closer parking lot. You can drop off your gear at the is lot and then park back at the pay lot. We will have to set up a shuttle between the two parking lots. Remember that parking at the Sunrise lot is $6 for the day. Remember that any big jobs for the restrooms needs to be done at the Sunrise parking lot. So eat well and get the job done early. At the comp site just be discreet. Remember to pack out all you bring in. The Park and Rec guy gave us the OK without a permit as long as we keep it low impact.

Directions from the South:

Merge onto I-25 N / US-87 N toward FT COLLINS
Take the HARMONY exit (exit 265) - Turn LEFT (West) onto E HARMONY RD(CO-68 W ROAD)
Continue to follow HARMONY RD(CO-68 W ROAD) This will have some curves but don't turn off of HARMONY.
HARMONY RD (CO-68 W) becomes CR-38E. Follow this up the hill to reservior.

From here use the map on below link. As you first get to the reservoir, you meet with CR23, here you turn Right or North. You should still be on the East side of the reservoir. If you turn South, you have missed the turn. Continue North along the reservoir and turn left at the T-in the road
( continuing North). You drive across one damn and continue to the parking area labled Sunrise on the map (see link below for map). I believe it is just after the second cattle guard. This is the pay lot you will park in. Continue past this lot less than one minute. There will be a small parking lot on the Left just before the road crosses the next damn. This is where the hike to Soldier Bay starts.

I hope to be there but that will depend on what I have for employment at the time. Nothing like tossing a scaler in the lake

TJ_Shunk · 09-16-2007, 12:01 PM

WHOOO HOOOO, I was thinking there wouldn't be a comp this month.. The wife (Jade) will be there as will I, with our own rigs!! I think I will have her TM4 almost finalized by then. (I still need some Losi white springs for her front...ANYBODY Have some extras?)

Bring it pansies!!

9am start time?

TURTLE · 09-16-2007, 12:07 PM

Sounds like we are ready to rock!

And as before we need judges for 2.2 and Supers.

slowtoyota · 09-17-2007, 04:57 PM

I could make the morning.. Which class is running first?

slugzracing · 09-18-2007, 10:44 AM

Wow, nobody is going? Are you afraid that I will not break on the finals course this time and smash you sallies?

Wrecker · 09-18-2007, 10:51 AM

I don't know if I'll make it.
I'll already be at the Rock Race all day Saturday so Sunday I'll probably have a ton of stuff to get done for school.

jason · 09-18-2007, 11:09 AM

I'm out.

Grizzly4x4 · 09-18-2007, 11:10 AM

I'm going to the XRRA shootout in the springs on Saturday. I should be able to make it Sunday, barring any weird problems. I'll just have to see though.

TURTLE · 09-18-2007, 12:35 PM

I thought the rock race was this weekend?

There is another one on the 29th?

racerx · 09-18-2007, 12:59 PM

Nope, not this weekend,Just the 29th. Everyone should go to the rock race so I can catch up in the points!

slowrockr · 09-18-2007, 01:06 PM

Yup rock race is the 29th. I fully expect to see lots of familiar faces there.

Since this one is close for me I can make sunday too.

TJ_Shunk · 09-18-2007, 02:57 PM

I'm hitting up the rock races and doing the comp sunday.. What a bunch of pansies... Guess I'll see you there Grizz. I'm coming down with some local guys from our 1:1 Club

DeaDShorT · 09-18-2007, 05:26 PM

OUT, not like that's a shocker

I got some tickets to the Endurocross at the National Western for Saturday night. The little guys and I will be there until the final is finished, which should be pretty late. I'm starting to get the itch to ride some more these days, and the youngest just got comfortable on the bicycle without training wheels. I guess that means my crawling days are going to be pretty few and far between, not that I was devoting the time to this like I wanted to anyway. At least the wife likes me spending the $$$ on bikes more than the "monster trucks"

.

Late.

666 · 09-18-2007, 09:12 PM

Stan, good to hear, something you can spend more time with the kids having fun, sucks to lose ya though.....

As for the comp, sorry guys I could have swore that I was told the rock race was this weekend. OPPS!!

So we are shooting for Soldier Bay then?

Doesn't look good for me fellas, my Dad is in town from Florida that weekend. I may try to take him to the XRRA comp though. Where is the XRRA comp being held at, any links on how to get there?

racerx · 09-20-2007, 10:48 AM

How am I supposed to kick some a$$ if nobody is gonna show up??

I am coming with a totally new rig so I can't wait to test it out!

Acutally that's probably the only way you could kick some a$$, if no one shows up.
