Me and the boys have been helping a friend at his hobbyshop to get a smaller scale racetrack up and running. It's less than 10 minutes from the house. Strictly RC.
We've been racing twice a week which is fun. And being that we're racing Xray M18's, Recoils and rc18's it makes it double the fun.

South Side Chicago - WOW!!!!!! - chicagokenji - 01-18-2008
How many guys could you get to show up regularly if a crawling "track" was created?
What do you call a crawling RC "space"?

Just wondering......who is Geno and why should I care if he goes to Underground or not?
South Side Chicago - WOW!!!!!! - Jetboat - 01-18-2008
if a good sized properly built crawling course was setup, you cold figure on seeing 18-20 guys at least 1 time a month and if its good enough we could put it on the comp circuit (especially in teh winter) Only thing is most crawlers dont like to pay to run so it would have to be a killer course. With the amount of room I see you could easily build a 20'x20' crawler mountain with some pretty good sized climbs. Hit me up if you guys deside to build and need some consulting or help on it, I've got 3 courses under my belt and have figured out what works and what people want (at least i think I have). I would love to get involved in a LARGE indoor course (and all I charge is the chance to run my trucks).

South Side Chicago - WOW!!!!!! - chicagokenji - 01-18-2008

Underground is taking this Sunday, Jan 20th, off. We should be back racing On Road next week, Sunday.
You should come by when me and G are there, on a Sunday, and let's talk.
There is definitely enough room. It's a matter of getting people to show up and to have someone to run it.
Is there any URL you can give me that shows a crawling event and/or how a crawling event is setup and run? I'm an off road on road racer and have never seen crawling.
My contact info is in my profile.
