We are working on the crawling pit to get it ready for a Fun Crawl on Sept 27th. Fits right in before a bunch of you head off to Moab!! I have not nailed down the time yet but should be looking around 12-2 or something like that. This is a Fun Crawl not a comp.
We will have a few courses laid out and some really simple rules. Free pizza and soda for everybody. We will also have raffle prizes that all entered drivers will have a shot at. So even if you can't finish the easiest trail you still may walk away with some free stuff!!!!
Anybody that wants to stop by and give some input on the pit is welcome. We will lay out the course on Sat Morning. Hoping to have a log bridge, a rope bridge, and some double whammy ledges all set up. Terrain is slate rock with some slick river rock mixed in.
I should get some pics up soon. It is a work in progress, and any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

sounds fun man, i look forward to some pics. i might see if i can make it up there.

cory · 09-10-2008, 01:58 PM

Most of the guys run 2.2 and smaller. Might be a little small for super right now. Of course all this could change---nothing set in stone yet.

slowngreen---come on up... the more the merrier. Also we hope to have quite a few prizes to hand out.

JEFFDUDE · 09-10-2008, 09:29 PM

I'll be there for sure. The pit looks killer should be a lot of fun I can't wait.

Mongo · 09-12-2008, 10:12 PM

I'm gonna try my hardest to come down, it sounds like a lot of fun. Keep us posted on everything when it gets closer.

jimbiss · 09-15-2008, 09:10 AM

I would really like to come, but again I am having to take pics at a wedding on that day. Maybe next time

cory · 09-16-2008, 12:18 PM

Here are a few more pics of what we have to work with.

Reference to show size. This is a small part of the course with 2.2 crawlers going down a "waterfall".

The pit is actually the swell outside the shop that we hauled in and filled with slate rock. It is 23' x 26'.

jimbiss · 09-17-2008, 08:31 AM

Looks sweet

Mongo · 09-17-2008, 10:29 PM

So Cory, any more details on time, etc? The rock pit looks pretty good.

wyocrawler · 09-18-2008, 09:55 AM

Advanced Suspension Design (Banana-head) will try to be there for the event, if it works out we can bring some of our proto-type goodies.

cory · 09-18-2008, 09:02 PM

We were thinking 12-2. Free sodas and pizza. I think that will give everybody time to get down here and not interfere with evening plans. Let me know what you think. We are a little flexible, but don't want to run to late so everybody can enjoy the weekend. Should have a good turn out for the raffle. We will probably set up 2-3 courses and maybe let some of you set up a couple???? Just going to try and have some fun and see what we all can do!

Mongo · 09-20-2008, 10:57 PM

You have a new shop in Poky right? I haven't been to the new location, where exactly are you at?

Jersdunz · 09-22-2008, 10:35 AM

Cory, looks like a good time..
i'll be there for sure along with sean, eric and brian.
Eric is workin on a chassis that we just laser'd out last week should be interesting..i am also trying to get my r2d going by then as well..see ya saturday, jeremy......yea and where in the hell is your new shop???

cory · 09-22-2008, 09:54 PM

131 Evans across from Mckees. Get off the chubbuck exit ,turn towards the Shell station (north), and take the 2nd right (east) between Subway and Johny B Goode's. We are next door to Allstate and the corner building.

We just added another swell--about 10' x 20' filled with Lava rocks. So it should offer tons of traction. I will try to get a pic up of it as well.

If you guys want to show up early and help us set up courses you are welcome to. We have a few ideas but nothing laid out yet. Thanks guys!

cory · 09-22-2008, 09:56 PM

Sounds like Advanced Suspension Design (Banana-head) is going to be there as well. Should be cool to check out some local Idaho boys designs!! They should have some prototypes there!! Good luck guys hope it takes off for ya

JEFFDUDE · 09-22-2008, 10:00 PM

So how many people are you expecting, and to you need any extra help with anything else? I'm open the rest of the week so let me know.

cory · 09-23-2008, 11:10 AM

slowngreen · 09-23-2008, 11:15 AM

mr.trd · 09-23-2008, 02:26 PM
