Just a reminder 1pm signup starts. Please use your real name along with your online Alias (for result posting). All trucks will be required to have a # sticker on the truck (provided). All trucks will need to be off the area by 1:30 so we can rearrange the rock area and setup the course.

IF YOU ARE NOT COMPETING YOUR RADIO MUST BE OFF (GSM radio's exempt)

Please remember this is being held in a hobbyshop during reg hrs, lets make sure they ask us back.

I know Cole, I was hoping to drive my truck in my underwear and scratch myself ludely...suddenly this thing is less appealing. Ah well, I will still be coming tomorrow, and hoping the track will be 1.9 friendly.

See you guys in the LHS!
I have two trucks for the trek out there. Neither of them is full on comp. Both have chassis mounted batteries and neither have weighted tires. One is the rescue bronco the other is a jeep rubicon. Aldso both are running imex tires. One for the old lady and one for me. Should have either a Holmes hobbies shirt or a RCC shirt on, but both are t shirts. They might have a hoody over them. Just giving you guys a heads up of who to look for. I know Mnster and Jetboat though.

Is there an outlet available to charge batteries?

My crappy beater truck is running some imex tires, worthless. Glad to see the old rescue up and going though. Getting kicked by a scaler would suck though.

I'm bringing my whinny brother Zach, he doesn't really want to go. But, wants to check out the guitar center thats along the way, I hope we don't show up to late..

I'll be the Fat Tall guy, my brother will be the thin Tall guy.


Anyways we'll have the...

The C-10 beater 2.2 wheely
The Tuber TLT comp rig
Tacoma Jero 1.9

Nissan Titan 2.2
Tuber TLT comp rig
Jeep Grand Cherokee 1.9

See Yall there

One of the best times I've had it quite sometime. Thanks Jetboat for setting the event up and giving us the invite. Thanks Hobbytown for giving $50 to the Mnsters and Mnstersbro's foundation for crawlers. We will be back for sure, can't wait for the next comp. That was some smooth driving there Bubbaracing.

Everyone stock up on 1.5mm wrenches and axial shafts.

Lots of good driving by all, everybody looked experenced, with little experence.

Lots of great original rigs.

Thanks everyone for coming out!!! The Shop owner was very happy with the turnout and is already talking about a Feb comp. Also, as long as turnout stays high for the next comp, they will be building on and possibly changing over some of that rock to crete. I will get the results up in the results section later today and I have video of several runs. Here are the pics I have.

Very good comp. way more people there than I thought was going to show.
I me a lot more people than I can remember names. That was great driving guys. Next time I'll bring a comp truck with me. It will be better suited to thecoarse than the scalish rubi.
Thanks
Jetboat for organizing the event
Hobbytown for hosting the event.
Mnster for scoring the event.
Mnstersbro for scoring as well.

Had a great time guys!

That was the most fun I have had in a long time, thanks to everyone involved, well done jetboat & the folks at Hobby Town! Also thanks to Mnster & MnstersBro as Cole mentioned. It was cool to meet the fellow crawlers, looking forward to more comps, I'm totally hooked! I captured a lot of good video which will all be uploaded to youtube as time permits, here's one video I put up last night:

My son and I came out to watch....no 2.2's to compete :( ...... but we can't wait for the highly anticipated track expansion program to begin so our "supers" can come. If it doesn't happen soon, I might have to begin another project. :-P
