you still have your indoor setup right? I feel i would have a huge disadvantage not having dig in a comp where reverse = points. However I would like to come out and play

ib99rt · 12-27-2009, 10:37 AM

Yes, it's still there. Go up there and crawl anytime you want.

There are a few that don't have DIG. I wouldn't worry much about it. It's all about being fun and just hanging out with friends. We would love to have ya anytime.

generally i go into stuff full on, however i bought the night crawler on the bassis, if i get serios in the sport i will be going moa. I have more learning and reseach to do on the conversion but the NC would get me out there on the rocks at a good price. All I have done is added 6oz to ea front wheel and 2.5oz to ea rear wheel. I am impressed thus far. Hope to see y'all some. I will be hunting this time in then I will have buggy, truggy, monster truck, 1/10th 4wd, 1/10 2wd races to find to go to. Oh and time to wide my ATV. working 28 days on and 28 days off goes faster than ppl think.

another new guy here. Just wanted to say hello, i'm also from crowville and looking to get into crawling maybe. I have a losi 8ight truggy on order so got to see how that works out first. I didn't know there was much of a crawling scene in the area until i found this forum.

slickcdb2000 · 12-28-2009, 10:46 PM

I've been to the track in lakeshore, seen the indoor course at hobbytown. But I had no idea about the outdoor track in westmonroe. I didn't know anyone around here was into the crawling scene!!!

Heck yeah, I would say that we have about 7 or 8 ppl just in the Monroe/West Monroe area.

We haven't even started yet. We are on the ups at the current location. The track was leveled an currently becoming a Peewee football field. All the rocks are piled up in the corner by the dumpster (southwest corner). Corky is supposed to call the Parks Director on Monday to see what we can do to that area. We are kinda scared to do too much in the fact that the rocks will be relocated by them at any given point. That spot in kinda low and we'll need to add some dirt and some sort of wall the keep it out of our pile. I have asked Brian to swap our comp with the JAX comp to give us more time to get things squared away. In the meantime, my head is spinning for another location to move the rocks, if needed.

colbygosdin · 12-31-2009, 09:36 PM

I plan on being at the comp....and even crawling in it ..... I'm even working on geting all bugs worked out and getting it ready for a comp

Hey Curtis, The West Monroe track no longer there, it was flattened. The rocks are still there but were just pushed next to the fence.

xDOUGHBOYx · 01-13-2010, 07:01 PM

We need to set up a day to go get the rocks and move them to KT Raceway.

Hell no. Would be closer for me, but they are staying where they are right now.

krazykrawler · 01-14-2010, 07:06 AM

amen brother!

CrawlinHTU · 01-14-2010, 07:07 AM

Or we could move them to the new West Monroe track site. Or we could set up KT and the West Monroe track crawling. It is still a concern on how long the city will let the rocks stay with no lease.

krazykrawler · 01-14-2010, 07:12 AM

From the people i have talked to they like the rocks there and very supportive of what we do with them,the city is not looking to lock anybody into a lease.They want it to be a place where everybody can come and do outdoor activities.Kinda like Bastrop with their skatepark on city property,you know there has to be some outrageous insurance to support that.

CrawlinHTU · 01-14-2010, 09:46 AM

The lease is to protect a club and its members. It also allows the club to get its own insurance. The lease is also a $1 year lease but has a 90 day clause to terminate it by either side. That would give you notice instead of showing up one day and everything is gone. It would also protect anybody that were to setup an event, because it would be under the club and not leaving someone out there possibly personally liable if something happens. Its all fun until a lawyer gets involved.

ib99rt · 01-14-2010, 05:54 PM

I just hope that some idiotic kid doesn't decide to crack his skull on the rocks when he tries to ye'll "Hey ya'll watch me do this!!"
