Default Possible comp spot

Hey All, I took some pics of one of my local crawling spots to see if there is any interest in doing a comp here. It's in Darien Ct.. Let me know what you think

Pics were all taken at high tide, if we did something here I would plan it for low tide because it opens up even more stuff

Rock is very similar to Rhode Island as far as traction, sorry there is no high point where I could get a complete picture of everything

That looks like an awesome spot for a crawl or competition. Too bad I'm not close...

There are also a couple other sections of this park that have lots of rock! Also a huge playground for the kiddos!

That's why we'd be shooting for low tide. I hate water too. I need Eli's drone so I can take an aerial pic

Also nothing will hone driving skills like knowing one wrong turn can cost you $500 in electronics and a complete re-build!! LOL

DERP!

Spotters plus boundary lines make it relatively safe. Just need to make sure someone has got your back. BC deals with water hazards a lot and we have only ever had one casualty in 6 years (not counting Rowdy Racing who sank his super in the ocean at Worlds last year )

Looks like a cool spot, but ooph 2.5 hours away :P

That's definitely a long haul from Mass. If we end up doing something here it would be cool if the BC crew could make it, but completely understand if you can't.

I would be up for that. I wasn't sure if there was already a spot we were doing for our final comp of the summer series which would be cool and then maybe do something here in October before the Rock Island event in November. Throwing some cash in would keep it interesting, I also like Curts idea of having a dollar amount on the bottom of gates and if you hit the gate you pay and then winner takes all. Like I said before I'm just throwing this place out there to see if people want to check it out. It's a long drive for most of you guys so it's understandable if you don't want to.
