|  2009 MNRCRC Howl Krawl  Time to clean the cobwebs off the scalers and charge up the batteries. It's time for the Howl Krawl. This scaler event will be our last official outing of 2009. Why not get 1 more run in before we pack it up for the winter? Date: 11/1/09 Time: 11:00am Place: Taylors Falls Yes, you read correct... this year's Howl Krawl will be at Taylors. We will not be returning to the trail in Minneapolis. We've had too many close calls there. While it's a fun trail, safety is our #1 concern. I have a couple Axial scale accessory parts trees that JP Customs tossed in with our raffle prizes. I've been thinking of how to give them out and I think I have a solution. I'd like to do 2 challenges at this year's event to mimic the 1:1 tough trucks; an obstacle course and a sled pull.
We know how unpredictable the weather can be this time of year. This event will go on regardless of rain, snow, wind, cold, etc. Last year was freakin' cold. Dress appropriately! This will be a scaler only event. Even though we're at our comp location, this event is primarily planned for the scale freaks. No comp rigs will be allowed in either challenge. Hope to see you there.  |

Don't worry, you'll have 5 months to put it back together.  What length of shocks are you looking for? |

Thanks guys. I would give anything to not be in this situation. Surgery on Thursday. Being my right foot means no driving too. 4 to 6 weeks of boredom.

if you stiil need a truck.....the crane is gone, it must have feel off.   What if......put a rod on the back and you could add small weight disks from a reg weight set?  |

I was thinking more along the lines of a custom off-road pull sled. Pull sleds have the cab in the back, and weight in the front. pull the truck backwards and put a tray/bucket/box ,whatever in the front (back). maybe some custom paint and we're off. like this, kind of...   How much weight would we need in it if we are pulling up hill. I have a lead inget thing that weighs like 10 lbs that I could screw right to the chassis, or under as a permanent weight.
