Chicagolands first Indoor comp
 

Mark your Calenders! Hobby Town USA is hosting the first indoor rockcrawling comp in the Chicagoland area.

When: Saturday Jan 12th 2008 1pm-5pm
Where: HobbyTown USA 2827 Aurora Avenue Naperville IL 60540

Signup will be from 1-1:45 a drivers meeting will be at 1:45 followed by the comp. After the comp there will be open bashing on the course.

This comp is for 2.2 rigs (sorry supers) with prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd (I know what they are and they are good) There will also be a scale class for bragging rights (sorry no prizes for the scalers)

I'm interested. I just need to find a baby siter for the little one. If we do the old lady and I will be there. It's only 4 hours.:shock:

Do you have pics of the coarse?

all the pics I have can be found here: http://s213.photobucket.com/albums/c...8/HT%20course/

Its a nice course, no where near as big as an outdoor but, we used every bit of space the store had to spare. There are allot of different lines to run so it should be fun.

What is that upper part made out of?

I'll be there..

Cole has a kid??:shock:

yeh. what is the upper part made out of

just curious.

I know it sucks....... uh I mean it's going good:?

I'll be there. No Super's? :-(
Looks like it's time to build a 2.2 rig.
We are working on putting together an indoor course at our shop in Franklin, WI (suburbs of Milwaukee) just FYI, when we have something together we will be having an indoor comp, I'll post more detail soon.

:lol:I hate 2.2's always have, I've just never been successful competing with them. They are always so loose and unbalanced. If you need to borrow a rig chances are my brother won't make it and you could use his.

The 2.2 limitation is because supers would walk all over the course. The upper section is my own creation of wood frame with chicken wire (like I did my personal test course) then covered with rosin paper then finally coated with about 1/2" of sandcrete. We have added extra sand in some areas and made others slick, while still others have amazing traction. Its realy deceiving when you look at the pictures.

Thx! I'm actually gonna try to put together an AX10 this week, we have enough stuff in stock to put one together, should be challenging in this timeframe, but I live for challenges! This will be my first comp, I will surely give everyone something to laugh at! :D Looking forward to it, thx again Mnster! "thumbsup"

for those on the edge of coming:

1st place $30 gift card
2nd $25 gift card
3rd $20 gift card

free to enter and run.

The wife and I will be there. Her mom is going to watch shannon for us.

Does any one have 1 traxxas steel out put yoke I could buy or barrow for the scale truck?. Mine is at the caves some where. I never did find it out there. See you guys this weekend?

Wife already?

Yeah I've got you covered."thumbsup"

HEY JEFF LETS NOT FORGET WHO DID MOST OF THE BUILDING!!! :lol:

It may only be about 4 hours but I have no problem sticking around after close to do some crawling."thumbsup"

I did a pretty good job didnt I ?????:lol: How many times did you hear "its a crawler course, not a trainset" or "when will this thing be done?" You'll notice I never say I...always We. Besides...if people dont like it I need someone to take the heat (aint I nice)

Anyway...how late are you willing to stay and let people crawl? Some are coming from a good distance and might want to get their drives worth. Mike gave me the 1-5 timeframe.

Lets do this thing!
 

Alright I have been waiting for this. I knew that this indoor course would be a good thing! Sign me up, cause it is about time for me to blow the dust off the AX10. The question is "What scale truck is Mnster gonna bring?" My Scout will be in attendance for the no pressure scale running too.

Hey Zack how early y'all gonna be there? I'll try to come a little earlier to help if needed, and to meet y'all to put a face to the names! "thumbsup" I can't wait to see your scout and carcrafter's too! Scouts are awesome! "thumbsup"

Matt :)
