COURSE DESCRIPTION

COURSE 1: The ‘Rock Yard’ (lower left pic) an area of flat earth modified by man to contain rock obstacles of all sizes and shapes, and concrete elevations to challenge the classic crawling ability.

COURSE 2: The ‘Slab Fest’ (Main background pic) A wooded area where concrete slabs have come to rest at all sorts of odd angles creating crevices, climbs, and ledges challenging articulation.

COURSE 3: The ‘Hill of Dreams’ (lower right pic) A dirt hill filled and littered with more concrete creating technical lines and the need for tactical decisions

NOTE: All efforts will be made to establish lines not used before in an effort to diminish any home field advantage
Summit provides an indoor powered pit area with air conditioning. Nick’s Hobby Shop is onsite to provide those essential needs.

"thumbsup"thanks for the chance:-P "thumbsup"

"Hill of Dreams" should be renamed "Scrap Pile of Crushed Hope".

I'm hoping to shake a stick at it....

Ben

I am interested in getting into this and will be in the area at this time. I was wondering if spectators are allowed?

albert

Spectators are more than welcome, even pom-poms and cheers. Plenty of room to stectate on the courses.

If you bring Hooters:shock: girls with you, we might have special accommodations for you.

Ben

hear is a web page for the state comp

http://www.geocities.com/yeahbutitsm...atechamps.html

whats the Fee for just the BBQ, my wife will most likely be coming but not driving.

sorry but all I have is a hooters t-shirt from when our paintball team was sponsered by them

I don't think it'll be much of a problem. The RSVPs will dictate how much food we get. We'll hopefully have plenty extra. I think a small donation would be very fair.

Ben

Talked to Seth he said 5 bucks, RSVP will help to ensure enough food. menu is hotdogs. hamburgers and pop.

Sowly but surely the list grows

Mark me as questionable.
School work, work, husband duties, and obligations with the Dad might put the cabash on this one for me. It sucks, but time management has priorities.

Ben

what other "attractions" are in the area?? I have to get a hotel room so Im looking at billing it as a mini vacation with the wife... help me out out here."thumbsup"

One of the best childrens (adults too) zoo in the nation.

The zoo is just around the corner from the track. We have a decent size mall and about 10 mega-Walmarts.

Ben

Check out the Fort Wayne fort too. Its pretty cool.

18 RSVP's so far, come on guys this is going to be great, quest appearance by the 2008 Michigan State Champ

Add me to the list, I'm late but I'm gonna be there.

The Berg is ready to go vertical now too.

The List is 19 drivers long "thumbsup"

Binary Terror is Jake Scobie. He was 5th in the top five at the MI state champs.

WOW! What a day of crawling! I had so much fun I am still up and its 4:45 A.M. We had some tough but fun courses, some trucks got ground up and others just slid on over every rock on the course, and I know for sure that one truck got punted off the Hill course!:shock:

I would like to thank every one that came out today, all the crawlers, and My wife that cooked and set the food up and served it.

Well guys what did you think?

seth

I had a great time . Definitely was a challenge in some spots. I also learned a lot about my driving style and what I need to do to be better than Ken. Just joking:lol: Overall this was a great time and I will be back:evil: Thanks to everyone for their hard work to make this happen"thumbsup"


Later
Farmer

I also had a Great time and thanks for the great lunch and fun"thumbsup"

How did everyone do?

I also had a blast, getting more and more used to the Berg way of life. Congrats to all who came and did well. Congrats to the top 5 on some great runs.

Also congrats to everyone who helped make the event flow very well, from the food, to judging, to courses. The courses were very unusual to what I've ever been on...but now I know.

I just need to fix the driver.

Great Fun guys, Farmer you really brought the pressure cooker to this one, Several places were seperated by only a point or 2. Looking forward to competing with you all again in the future.

Thanks for the Rematch Farmer

Any idea if and when this might happen this year "thumbsup"

Still a little early as the Carpet Season is raping up, but I think Seth (Airborn) is in discussion over the Summer Schedule

Thanks for the info,,,, but it is never to early to start planning another great event in our state. Thanks and we will be looking for more info to come "thumbsup"

We have something that is VERY COOL in the planning stages for this summer. It'll be in July most likely, but it's too early to say anything more about it. Stay tuned.....8)

cool, thanks ... just a heads up about the dates in July. Tri-State Crawlers has an event planned for July 12th and i know a few us are wanting to come up for your event so thanks ... "thumbsup"

*** Also I will plan to close the Rox Box the day of your event

BTT....


Aaron mentioned about the TSC schedule, but don't worry about it. We will move our event dates if needed...

I will see if we come up with any better details.



Sounds like our date is going to be July 18th...........I will let "Airborn" fill us in on the rest.

"thumbsup"
I'll just patiently wait for info...............................

:ror:

Well crap... Hope I'm back in town then...:-(

I figured you would guys hold it around the same time as last year...owell..damn assumptions :lol::lol::lol:

No! No! No! July 18th is the three rivers Festival {Rock The Fort Comp}
http://www.trfonline.org/2009Applica...rt%20Flyer.pdf

The State champs will be held @ the end of the year just like last year. The date is not set, I will be looking into a good date, one that does not conflict with you guys or any other groups. That is the goal at least.;-)
