2012 Camp n' Crawl - King of The Hill Comp - 11/3,4

[Full_Throttle]

Not yours yet Ryan!

Ironically, Duxx and I were just talking about the whole rollover thing... then I read your post. It's something I definitely forgot to articulate in the rules, and it no doubt would have made for some last minute "oh $#!*". I think we'll do exactly as you have outlined because honestly, I like it better than my idea .

Rules section of the first post will be edited to reflect this change.

Thanks Ry!

Midland likes the trail damp to keep the dust down. But not wet enough that it creates mud. He uses a squirt bottle with the nozzle finely tuned and sprays the trail ahead of him in 40" increments. And all of that is just so he doesn't get his pink slippers dirty so you may wanna retract your offer to help him prep.

Scale beer cans, now that's the schlitz!

Did somebody say... mud?! I'll admit, I feel like a clean rig is a happy rig so I do try to avoid the heavy funk.

Since I'll be handling the comp, Duxx has an opening on his RC pit crew. He'll need someone that can quickly fix broken parts and clean out dirt filled motors. Trust me, you will stay busy. PM him your resume if you're interested.

Ok. I'll help set up. I can get my son to walk ahead of your rig with the spray bottle. I don't mind fixing rigs. How much you paying?

That means I will be right behind duxx in line, cause I dont want my Hello Kitty slippers dirty either....

I asked Duxx if he'd drive his Bronco up and down the hill first, so the trail of broken parts would provide additional obstacles for the rest of us to drive over.

[msmith0322]

Extra traction. Nice. Lol

[Duxx]

Fat chance batches. I'll prolly break all my shit Saturday. Get too drunk Saturday night to fix anything. Then sleep all day Sunday!

[Duxx]

Anyone have a Hitec field programmer they can bring???

Is there a list of scale accessories? A few people doing their fist comp.

[Full_Throttle]

That's a good question. No real list, just any ol thing will do. The goal being to encourage scale appearance... accessories are a part of that. Not worried about grading anyone's efforts though. Bring what ya got. If you dont have any, wrap a shoelace around a couple fingers and tape it and tie a small bundle of twigs together and voila... 2 scale accessories!!

[msmith0322]

Nice. Never thought of that.

[BigJon]

Or if you have some 550 cord tie both ends in a loop and now you have a scale pull rope!

If you have a extra small piece of fuzzy fabric and a piece of thread you can make a sleeping bag.

Cant think of any others.

Almost setup. Finish in the morning. It's real nice out here at poinsette. I'll be waiting in yall.

Should be sober by then. I have summerville crawler bringing me some ice in the morning. I should be good. Glad I brought my heater. Got a little chilly last night.

[skerb]

Two of us are heading that way for a bit this evening. Where are yall?

[BigJon]

Do we have a time for the folks driving in on Sunday?

Earlier the better. I'm setting up at 0800. After that, we'll start freerunning whatever everyone brought. Couple hours of that for sure, followed shortly by the comp. I wouldn't wait too long, but if driving a ways, I'd try to be here by 10:00, otherwise you'll miss a lot of the fun.

Hope to see you tomorrow!!
