The weekend of Jan. 10-11 2009 is out for me. Otherwise I think I am wide open for dates unless something comes up.

Sorry bout the confusion. This was directed mainly at the first GTG of '09. I believe we are planning on an indoor event possibly January in Cedar Rapids @ my shop. We will most certainly have a comp and more GTG's next summer.

Anyone is welcome to come. If everyone builds a crawling component so we can assemble them and beat our rigs that is the goal.

I have $0 invested so far. I have 2 rolls of chicken wire, 30'x60" of denim fabric, and aproximately 87lbs of portland. I am going to pick up a huge load of 1 by scrap lumber for some terrain and is all I need is some ply/osb.

January 10,11 is out for me, any other weekend is good though. Maybe we should get a tally of who is interested and pick a date to fit most everyone.????

I'm in for Waterloo gtg.

I'll also scout some more in Decorah!!

If the gas price stays "normal" I'll go just about anywhere!! The one thing that really throws a damper on things is when a guy drives a few hours and his rig wont work or he breaks right away. I'm getting a few more parts and driving skills, to the point where I know that I can run all day long...

So what you are looking for right now is some manpower to build a course or what??

I have Thursday and Friday off, going to Theory of a Deadman in Rochester on Thursday night. It would be possible to spend all weekend putting something together.

We were chatting about each person building a 4x8 sheet of ply with structures fabric wire and portlan. I'll see if I can find the posts. Then we can set them up and bash on one large course.

The discussion starts in the IA chit chat on post #118 from colesdad45
