Interstate Events for 2015

[dna4engr]

Hello Wi Crawlers,
The MNRCRC club is having our winter meeting in a few weeks and one of our ideas for next year is to collaborate with crawlers from the other side of the river.

In 2014, we ran 8 crawling competitions, 4 G6 style events, a TTC, and an end of year scale crawl. We're looking to increase participation in the local club and just do what we can to help the hobby grow.

I'm looking for feedback from you guys on if it makes sense to try and schedule an event on Wi soil. Give us all a chance to meet more people and crawl some different terrain. As some of you might know, we comp at Interstate state park in Taylors falls. While we've been on the rocks, I've seen a lot of enticing terrain on the Wi side of the park.

Also, please consider this an invitation to all of you who are close or might be close at some point to attend any of the scale events or competitions we host next season (For anyone really close to the border we do have a winter crawl series starting in a few weeks in Fridley MN, in one of our members garage).

There will be some limitations obviously, as there won't be many that would be able to drive over to the eastern side of Wi. However if the terrain is cool and event has a lot going for it, we have plenty of folks who will drive for a great day of RC (2.5 to 3 hrs drive time max).

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Wausau area is a good place to have a meet, we have Rib Mountain and the Dells of the Eau Claire River, I'm not to sure of many places west of here I'd have to sit on the google maps for a min, I know up north just off hwy 8 is Tims Hill (drove around it never walked it), and there has to be some areas around Eau Clair.

Always look forward to meeting new people to crawl with and always point them to rcc if they haven't been on here yet.


I have a big break coming up for Xmas and wouldn't mind some indoor scale crawling if the dates work out.

Looking forward to coming down from superior this coming year! I have been away from the comp scene too long!

[Super]

If date and time worked out I would be willing to go for a ride.
Several years back we had about 6 or 7 of us WiRCRC members spent the weekend at Taylor's Falls (awesome place) and had the pleasure of comping with you fine folks. Looking forward to doing it again.


I'll be watching to see what gets planned.
I'm on the east side of the state, Green Bay/Appleton area.

Here's the mn schedule

Lets try to hash out this year's schedule online.

First thing we need to do is to identify the dates that we need to avoid. I'm looking for things like holidays and big events that will pull #'s from our club (i.e. Crawl for a Cure). We should also note other major events that we need to work around. A good example would be knowing when Grandma's Marathon is and not scheduling anything in Duluth that weekend. I'll start us off and keep adding as I think of more. But if you know of something, please post and I'll keep the O.P. updated.

**Phase 2** (1/6/15)
Next, we need to decide what weekends to hold the 12 events on. We normally try to avoid back-to-back weekends, as well as going more than 3 weeks between events. We'll decide what events next, right now just what weekends. I laid out what I think will work in Blue. I think it gives a nice break mid-season, as well right before the Finals. Let me know what you think.

***Phase 3***
Next step is to layout what type of event and location. I've found that doing these at the same time usually works best to help see the big picture.

[nerby149]

find a few other guys to come with to help with expenses you won't be disappointed, we have a great group of people, 10 pro trucks on a normal weekend. 20-30 scalers sometimes.
