Indoor Course: HobbyTownUSA, Holland, Ohio
 
As some of you know Clay at HTUSA has been working on an indoor artificial course . He has most of it done and more to in the works. He had it set up today. And plans to have a little Comp next Sat(8/23). Anyone interested is welcome to come out for a bit of fun. By the rules of course.

I also know of a good outdoor spot that I've been playin at right next to where I live. If it's possible to have too much traction, this would be it. it's got so much it gets ya hung up all over the place. Anyone interested in a GTG Post up and we can make it happen some weekend.

I have no rc buddies so I need a crawlin buddy. i did stumble across a kinda cool spot here in adrian today. check out the pics and tell me what you think of the spot. Im new and really have had my crawler out only twice.

Hey thats not too far from me. Is it a full blown crawler course or would it be good for scalers too?

Rockthrasher 08-19-2008 04:28 PM

From the looks of the course, it should be good for a scaler. I've only seen it partially built a few weeks ago and it looked pretty cool. Hey Shierkahn, did Clay give you any time as far as this comp getting started? I have plans early afternoon on Sat.:roll:

Clay
Post some pics I am always up to travel to crawl"thumbsup""thumbsup"

Headshok88 08-20-2008 07:34 AM

I may have to go check it out this weekend.

shierkahn 08-22-2008 01:08 AM

I'm not sure what time exactly But from what I understand it would be early afternoon on Saturday.

I think it could be scaler friendly but, I'm not sure because I haven't seen a scaler crawl in person ...... yet. I know there's alot of lines that would be friendly for about anything at the spot I got next to where I live though, if picked right.

He might have the course set up tomorrow but, I'm not for sure.

So, whom ever wants to come out and have a little fun it's in Spring Meadows Shopping Center, Holland, Ohio 43528. You can mapquest for Airport Hwy. & McCord Rd.

Headshok88 08-22-2008 06:56 AM

I think I will come up to check it out."thumbsup" I have 4 scalers that I will bring, my comp truck is torn apart right now. I have 2 scalers that can hang with an ok crawler. I guess we will see how they do. What do they charge to run on the course or enter comps.?

If the course looks pretty good I will have to drag some of the NOSTR guys over here some weekend.

shierkahn 08-22-2008 11:28 AM

I don't think there is gonna be a fee for this run. At least he hasn't said anything to me about it.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna make this one but, I'm gonna try. I have family coming in town and my baby girls baptism to get ready for.

If I don't make the comp I'd probably be able to hit up the spot next door later in the afternoon though.It's just a couple miles from HobbyTownUSA. I'll check back in here tonight after I get off work.

shierkahn 08-22-2008 11:29 PM

It's in Spring Meadows, In Holland.

Got a hold of Clay tonight, Comp is at 1:00 pm. If ya get there early you can pre-run the layout if ya wish.

I am down how long a drive is it from Atown?

shierkahn 08-23-2008 12:43 AM

It's about a 2hr. drive, maybe less depending on the skinny peddle pressure.

Headshok88 08-25-2008 04:09 AM

I went to the first comp there at HobbyTown USA. I had a great time. The course is pretty good, but still needs a little work. Great for a start tho. I did manage to take first place "thumbsup". Thanks Clay for the prizes. I will try to make it up there for some more comps. I think they have a good thing started there.

shierkahn 08-26-2008 10:31 AM

I was also there. The turn out wasn't too bad for a first Comp. Too bad some of the guys had to leave before it was over. I couldn't believe the carnage a little coated foam can cause. Now if I can figure out how to keep my nose down on the steep inclines.

Headshok88 08-28-2008 02:02 PM

Anyone going this weekend (8-30 or 8-31)? I might go for a little test and tune.

I know where the hobby store is but do you have a spot in the area you crawl at. I live in adrian but used to live in toledo and visit my brother there. He took my crawler for a test drive and is hooked. he is trying to get some cash together to get one. Any good spots in toledo/sylvania area for crawling.

my brother lives like 2 minutes from hobbytown on springfiled road.

How long did the comp last. I have never been to one and am curious

shierkahn 08-30-2008 09:38 AM

We were there till about 5:30 or so.

I have a couple spots that I go to might be hittin one of them later today.

There's gonna be a comp every other weekend depending on participation. There's a $3 fee to enter and some "prizes". The course will be set up every weekend though if ya want to go check it out and play a little.
