I'm game for some crawlin this coming up Sunday, I'd rather trail run, but it's whatever. I'm in Newburgh, IN. I cant drive 2 hours or anything like that, but I'd be good with a hour drive or so. Not sure where you guys call home, but I'd def be interested if you guys have a place a little closer. Let me know.  Last edited by Hoosierdady; 11-14-2011 at 05:56 PM. |

I sure hope so man. It's prety bad when the only crawling get together is put on buy a group from another state and the guy with the only game in town is MIA. |

I just got started, and now, NOTHING!!!!!!  Some of us are just a little too old to be stayin' up for 24 hours, especially when the drive to get there is 1 1/2 hrs. I got my money tied up in my rig and don't have unlimited funds to spend on a hotel either! I'm building a crawling pile in my garage It won't be a "Ted's Garage", but hoping for in a 8' x 10' or slightly larger, and challenging | |

SIRCC still has comps once a month. We were just in Cloverdale two weeks ago and at FOTO the month before that. We are comp crawlers, not scalers though.

I hear ya. Indy is a 3hr drive and Foto is a 2hr drive for me. It sucks, but I love crawling so I make the trips. It used to be nothing for us to drive 4-5 hrs one way just to make a comp back in the day. People just are not into as much as they were back then.

Let me first say that I understand where you are coming from and I do agree that there seems to be a big slowdown in the crawling opportunities here lately. There are opportunities in the surrounding states and in southern Indiana to crawl, but with the weather turning bad/cold it will turn a lot of folks off to play outside. I am one of those. Being in a wheelchair also makes it impossible for me to hit FOTO and difficult for me to get to other locations as well. However, let me disagree with you that The Rox Box is not the only game in town. It is the only indoor game in town, but not the only place to play. There are a lot of places we can go outside and hold comps. There is nothing saying that a bunch of us can't get together and hold informal or even organized comps. | |

No one has ever brought scalers to one of our events and/or asked for it. I agree that southern Indiana would have some awesome places to run scalers. Our local jeep club property would be GREAT for some scalers. What are most guys running for scalers? (as I have no idea because it's not my cup of tea) Are many people running Wraiths? I could see me possibly running on of those. |

Transambill and I both run Wraiths and 1.9 scalers, although my 1.9er project isn't completed yet but should be by spring. To me the scale side of crawling is the most fun I've had with an R/C ever! I would love to get everyone together for a G6 event where a single course could be set up to take between 30min (shorter courses) to 1 1/2hrs (longer courses) to complete. Talk about fun, and really getting the fulfillment of driving the rig. Bill and I both attended the last FOTO comp held by Louisville Crawlers with our Wraiths and had a great time! | |

Ok. So.... It looks like were all on here to much and we need to plan a gtg!  IMO crawing in indiana is what we make it. If we want more gtg/comps. Lets plan em. Weve had a few good spots that guys have posted up here latley. Lets pick one. Schedule it enuf in advance that people can plan for it and have FUN. We went out to cataract a couple weeks ago and had a blast. We can have 2.2 comp or scale out there. Weve got 4 wheel parts and arbuckle park on the east and west sides of indy. Weve got clifty falls and foto down south. Weve got places all around us within a couple of hours of the majority of us. So...... let do it!So on that note.... Who wants to go scalein this weekend? Post up! Last edited by Beest; 11-30-2011 at 08:04 AM. |
