Pre registration is open 24/7 Comp starts @ 11am on Saturday so you will want to be there ahead of time. According to Todd, he is only 1hr 45min from Bobs. Just avoid I90 if you can because traffic on it that time of year can be BAD!!!

Default travel time

I have to say it did take me 1 hr 45 min to get to bobs but it took me close to 3 hours to get back... I think that traffic moves much better on the way in than leaving, I always hate the trip home..... but i did make it to bobs in that time

I wish more people would go ahead and preregister, would make having enough supplies allot easier. I'm guessing most are waiting to see pics of the facilities which, we will take this weekend at the workday. I think the comp is going to be great...


For the scale portion, Im thinking we come up with something similar to Hell's revenge or axle aisle... no sense in making it too easy.

I really wanted to go to this. Now Bubba is out and my wife doesnt want me spending the money in gas to go there . Plus she's working that weekend now and I'd have to find a babysitter for overnight.

Here are some of the course pics... These are about 2/3 of the way thru the build day so, more has been done and more will be done before the comp.








A bridge will connect the course with a scale run going under

Default thanks big time

I would like to thank everyone that came out on sat and helped move 58 tons of rock for fun??!!! was a great time for me and hope everyone enjoyed themselves... cant wait for the comp and see what everyone can do.. by the way if you travel in two seprate cars and your friends are lost remember that " look for the white house with the red barn" isnt the best advise since there is one every 3 miles in southern WI !!!!!! see you all soon Todd
