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. |

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. |

|  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.

I did a pretty good job didnt I ????? 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.
