|  Indoor Crawling at HP Hobbies--Hutchinson, KS
Hey everyone. I thought I put all the info I can think of here. http://www.hphobbies.com/ Website is not updated very often. Hours: Most Wednesdays from 5:30-8:30, Thursdays from 5:30-8:30, Fridays from 5:30-8:30, Saturdays (electric ONLY) from Noon-????, and every other Sunday for dirt oval racing from Noon-????? Turnouts: Range from 100 entries for large events down to 10 entries at the slowest times of the year. Classes: Main class of racing is 1/10 electric off-road including 4-wheel drive buggies, 2wd truck, 2wd buggy. Followed by 1/8 and 1/10 nitro racing during the warmer months. Next is Oval racing all year round including 1/8 Latemodel nitro/electric, 1/10 Sprint cars nitro/electric, 1/10 EDM (Eastern Dirt Modified) nitro/electric, and up coming 1/18 size classes. Soon to be Rock crawling, and with everyones help and opinions this could be a great place to get together. Tracks: Outdoor off-road, indoor off-road, indoor dirt oval, coming--indoor Rock crawling. I want to thank those of you who have been to HP so far. It has lit a fire under Steve Redden (owner) cause today he took deliver of 17 TONS of rock. Basically a semi trailer. That's a lot of rock. So for the rest of this week he will start moving the rock inside to build a promising layout. I mean 32,000 pounds of rock has to be awesome. LOL. So here is an official invite to come help out, voice your opinion, or try out at the hobby shop. Talk to you guys/gals soon Thanx Chris |

Awesome! I'm sure that once it gets finished and things get goin that alot of people will get interested in crawling... even by just word of mouth... I recently had the transmission in my car fail (Dodge's mistake really... it wasn't my fault!...lol), so a trip to Hutch anytime soon doesn't sound too likely... Y'all should post up pics as ya go... |

| Sorry to hear about your tranny. Don't make to much fun of Ma Mopar, lol, it may come back to bite you. I'm sure if youwanted to go bad enough all you would have to do is call me or Billy and we would make sure you got there. It's not like I got right by Mac or anything. Kinda gotta go by there to get to hutch anyhow. Gimme a holler if you want to go some weekend. Billy and I are kinda planning a trip down there this Saturday to see what's going on and to take some pics to post up. Let me know and I can stop and get you if you want to. |

This Saturday (Today) doesn't work for me... but I'll let ya know! Thanks for the offer... and Mopar isn't worthless... they went from a perfectly designed transmission in the 1st gen. Neons, to a crappily designed tranny in the 2nd. gens (I have a 2nd Gen), and back to the good tranny in the 3rd. gens... so basically I just got ahold of one of their bad ideas... but we all have a bad idea float to the top once in a while...  |

Just got back from HP Hobbies, and it looks like we now have a cool place to crawl indoors!!! There's a lot of work to be done, but it will definitely be worth it! Here's a few pics...     I drew in some white lines where walls are to be built, and red lines where the course will run. The blue counters will be removed. Chris or Shawn, let me know if this looks right. Can't wait!  |

Cool! I'm new to the crawling scene. Hell, don't even have a crawler yet, but I think I have a new mistress!  I've got to work next weekend, but might try to go up the weekend after just to look around. Is the address on the website correct? I rode up to Hutch this last week for Bogies and drove down 4th Street, but didn't notice anything that stood out like a RC shop. Am I just blind?  Mike |

Awesome... Pics! Looks like it'll be great fun (when it's done), and the best part: It'll be indoors! I'm still tryin to sort out my schedule, but hopefully I'll be able to come down and help out soon... |

Mike, The address is a little misleading... the HP Hobbies is on the corner of 4th and Scott Street, one block East of N Halstead. It's on the South side of the street. |

| Nice to meet you Speed, ok, how to get to Hi Performance.... when you get to the corner on HWY61 & 4th where Kwik Shop is at the stop light, go EAST. The hobby shop is at 2601 E. 4th across from the Kroger (Dillons) warehouse on the south side of the street right on the corner. It looks nothing like a hobby shop. Hope you find it next time. |

Hey hows it going today? I drive big rig and I should be going through that way this next week or so. I was wondering if there is truck parking around there? I also would like to knoe if they stock crawler part for the axial. Well thanks for your time look forward to maybe seeing you there. |

Boise, there's plenty of rig parking across the street, as it's the Dillon's distribution center. I don't believe they're stocking any crawler parts yet, but I'm hoping that will change in the near future!
