I'm in Elk Grove Village, I have some good locations very near me, in Busse Woods. I know it's a long drive for you but we're having a comp in Lockport on the 19th, you should try to make it down. Click the suburbanchicagorockcrawlers link in my signature for more details.

Our last comp had a smaller turnout, about 13 competitors, but our previous indoor comps averaged about 20 competitors. We always run 2.2's and we will start running courses for Super Class too, but there's only a couple of people with Supers. You can run your scale rigs, but they will have an obvious disadvantage against full blown 2.2 comp rigs.

Near Decatur here.
Mostly rip-rap type of spots and the old sand quarry down the road. Working on a trail/2.2 home course in the back yard.
Always ready for a Devil's Lake trip!

Ah, ok! I remember talking to you and looking at your truck! Picked up a second hand AX10 and bought one of Jetboat's Predetor Chassis' for a WK based Super (finally got to work on that today too) since I talked to you. WK is still running the rock rashed TJ body too.
