Default New Years Day scale run

Anyone up for a scale run this sat. Ive been itchen to go running with some of the locals since i got my new scaler together a few weeks ago. Yea i know itll be a toasty 23 degrees out, but who cares. Im thinking the run up by rock house, but if anyone has any other good spots post up.

Wish I could, but I will be working that day. Yup, the joys of retail management strikes yet again.

Let me see if I can make it. I too been itching for a scale run. Have you thought about whitewash instead of the rock house?

Hopefully more can make it, and I will see what the *boss* says...

not particuarly, mostly cause i think of white wash as more of a "comp" truck territory. I would give it a shot though...even with a 10 plus pound rig

I guess, i just figured its relatively near by and we did the last 2-3 scale runs that I have been part of at rock house... just thinking about something new. I messed around at whitewash a while back and it wasn't too bad.

Oh wait, that's where my high-lift lost a significant amount of its body structure...

hmmm...

I'm down to go to either location. I say lets try whitewash.

Hopefully it's not too muddy, but the scale parts at whitewash are pretty cool and there is quite a bit of area to mess around. I say lets roll there.

Just bring the mittens and cocoa. Maybe it's a good safe way to test "water- proff-ness"

Yeah,Yeah, Yeah....im running a 14lb rig.

Might show up,I'm off Sat but gotta run some errands. Almost have the Honcho ready. Wating on my BL Rings, servo and paint. The TTC Jeep is DOA, until I can find a motor setup. Might do a rebuild...

So...I'm in.Kinda.

LOL,

Well, I mean, its like testing a bullet proof vest while you are wearing it. You know. I mean, I could always just test the container while it's empty and see if water gets in. Otherwise, if the electronics are in it, and it fails the test, then what?

We went to Gallup this weekend. Did a little night crawling last night in the snow but it was kinda cold so I didn't stay out long. -19 at 7:00 this morning.... 11 is a regular heat wave! Good luck out there! Hope my dang truck starts this morning......
