ok, i am getting tired of crawling in my basement already so i am going to just throw out a day and see if i can get any takers. Lets go with jan 17 or 18. not sure what day is better for others but i can make both. if we can get a weekend picked out we can decide on a day after that, baby steps. let me know what you all think.

SOLD. We'll try for Saturday January 17th. Is 10am too early? That is about what time we started our comps last year.

I would love to go crawl with the Omaha crew some time but that'll probably be next summer. I can seat six in the Sequia

If you are coming into CR on I380 you can either get off at HWY30 West and then exit @ 6th St and head north. As soon as you cross the bridge over the crick turn right. That is my shop yard. Gee Grading and Asphalt.

Or off I380 @ 33rd Ave and head west through resteraunt row. Turn left on 6th St and head south. Over the R.R. viaduct and past Hawkeye Downs Speedway. Just past the Sinclair station across from the Downs is my shop. You cross the bridge over the crick you went too far.

Clear as mud?

this is starting to turn in to something now. hopefully the weather holds up. who all is planning on bringing a section of course? i can bring one for sure and maybe the second if i can get them to stack in the truck. i dont really want to drag my big a$$ trailer around for one sheet of osb. Now that i think of it i made the panels in the basement, i better make sure they can get back out of the basement?????

I am planning on making a couple. I am leaning toward cutting the sheets in half, 4'x4'. The more the marrier. Gotta have enough for everyone to have fun on.

Marc does not crawl. Josh has a few but it is very hard to get him to do anything. I will put a flyer up at BoxKar I know they have sold around 20 axials.

I will bring one sheet.

as of now I am in. Depends on weather. Snow /ice storm will keep me home depending on how much. I will not have a panel , I don't think it would fit in my Tracker.
