Spring and fall dates are Saturdays so that we have Sunday for a rain date. Mid Summer dates are all Sundays. We need to find 1 more comp location. Also, a couple of GTG dates may be added. Also, what series we will be running has not been set yet, keep checking this thread for the official decision.

LHR is planning on more, the club is going to get with them about making the course better,

The proline bodies, all be it a Ftoy looking body, doesnt classify as a scaler. A scaler must have a full frame extending past the axles. The Proline stuff basically bolts to the stock chassis. I have been considering picking up 1 of the Scout "bodies" and using a full frame with it.

Has anyone ever checked out the park on 59 in shorewood/joliet. Whats it called? Hammell Woods? I know there is a creek running thru there. Haven't been there in years. Maybe I can get time to swing by this week and check it out for ya.

What happened to every 3 weeks? 1 comp a month is like waiting for christmas to come lol

I personally would like to see 4 more dates added in. For a 10 comp series. Thats just me though. I'll start looking hard for a spot to have one around the joliet area so we have more areas.

The plan is to add in GTG's every 2 weeks. Also, LHR is planning on having comps on their own and we are trying to not compete (it ends up hurting both).
We are going to discuss everything at our meeting Jan 17 (thread to follow)

oh, i am switching over to to an x-trail chassis, with a hilux cab on the way too, and a tube bed(maybe full exo). it will be a scaler. just thinking aboout the f-toy lookin body for comp use to lower the cg

lockport might be decent if it's not slick as snot. Maybe this year it won't rain. I bet if that climb was dry we would of all made it
