Clubs in Montana
 

For anyone who is new to crawling in Montana, depending on where you live in the state, there will be a comp near you. "thumbsup" We all know this state is HUGE:lol: so you may have to drive a little to compete, but I assure you it is worth it. There is a club that has local events quite often in the Helena area and in the Flathead valley area. The two clubs as of now are:

MTRCRC , contact person : Unimoger, Helena area
supported by www.montanascaledeisgns.com
MTRCRC points series for 2009 starts in november.
We run 2.2, super and are planning on adding 1.9 also. We follow the current USRCCA rules. You do not need to be a member to compete, that is only if you want to be a part of the points series.

FVRCRC , contact person : JE racing, Kalispell - flathead area
--- they also have a forum and website for more info:http://fvrcrc.myfreeforum.org/index.php

I have been doing rc crawling for a long time, I am happy to help anyone out setting up their rig to play or to compete. The great thing about rccrawling is that everyone in this sport is ready to help anyone new out to get them involved in the sport. Here is a post back in 2005 when I thought I was the only guy in Montana who was crawling.:lol:

Now there are lots and lots of guys in Montana who love to crawl.
I hope to see all of you on the rocks in the coming year at one of these two great club's events and maybe even at the MSD 2009 Scale Nationals in May in Helena."thumbsup"
