The only pics I took were in expectation of Phil's fall.

And on a completely different topic, I've made some progress on our sign for TF.

Well, I sprayed about 80 bucks of roundup on the track hopefully that takes care of the vegetation on the track

Here are a few different layouts for y'all's consideration. These are by no means the only choices.

Having the track cross itself might cause problems.

That is the intent

The plan is for a tabletop crossing. So there will be mid air collisions.

If you think this is going to be groomed carpet "off road" racing... Think again. This is going to be back to the old school with carnage.

I thought the same thing fr8cture and then remembered who was doing it.

I liked the last slide best that upper left corner is crying out for a rock field IMO.

Is that cleared spot at the top for me to park and view from?

Hummm ... Thats all I need is to be feeding another RC machine time and money? But the fact remains I really do like hanging out with you freaks. I'll have to see what the boys want to do. I personally have absolutely nothing better to do with my time and money. But the boys actually have numerous other dubious activities. You never know I may have to build an over powered under engineered dirt rocket.

As far as the sign is concerned there is no f***ing way I'm going to wear or be mounting it on my chair, enough said.

I have yet to meet most of you guys. Only met Maddog and Grunt so far. Should change soon hopefully though.

I guess me personally think a scale king of the hammers or something similar would be sick.

That sounds awesome fr8cture been seeing you around for a long time it will be good to finally meet you.

As you know we don't have complex rules allowing for just about anyone with just about any rig to join us on our comp days. It really works a lot better than it sounds people are having tons of fun and theres plenty of top notch competition.

Barry Belvedere who recently moved from Kentucky said he was impressed by the quality and quantity of the rigs and level of competition. Mitch MSD44 just moved from New Mexico he likewise was surprised and pleased to find a good group here in Minnesota.

We'd love to see you get involved it seems like we already know you from your posts here on RCC.
