any crawlers in MN?

[freetimecrawler]

I did get your PM and I meant to PM you back but fell asleep with the computer on, was just gonna take an hour nap, but went down for the count.
I'm out of 65t's, but I called Dan over at Hobby wearhouse and he has some in, $20.00, and he's got a few. when you ask for them, ask for Dan, he'll know you're a crawler and part of the MN club Dan is in every day but Thurs's.

I've got alot of work to do, I decided to re-build both 2.2's and both clods from the ground up.

Well, I posted our most recent pics from the last 2 gtg's on our website. And by the way, we've topped 3,500 hits on the site now. I was thinking about maybe we can do some tech pages, like how to wire a clod, making links, etc. What do you guys think? If anyone wants to put anything together that'd be great.

As far as this weekend, I'd probably be down, if my trucks are up and running by then. What do you guys think about checking out Mankato?

 

[freetimecrawler]

Mankato works for me. I've also got some truck work to do, I haven't even started yet. Had some problems with the sw2 and brushless set-up, and didn't even get to run it in the Iowa comp. Time to tear into that one first.
I'm also giving some strong consideration to putting my building in Richfield and Mpls on the market, and relocating to the country. This rat race is starting to take it's toll, and I'm just getting tired of this city living. With all the money I'm putting into the buildings lately, my net income for this year is 0

That would be soooooo cool if you guys came down here. I would love to show you guys around. I just wish I had my truck done. Just let me know what works for you guys.

Whats up with your truck Chris?

I'd like to head down to Mankato and see some of the spots there. It'd be nice to find another location that's as good as TF.
When are you guys thinking about going? Saturday, Sunday? I 'vote' for Sunday (anytime, say maybe 12:00ish). That's mainly because I'll be in Rochester all morning/day/night on Saturday (going down to the GF's parent's place to hang, work on my truck, grill outside, take the Mazda RX-8 for a bit of a spin!!!:twisted
Hopefully Sunday works for the rest..(fingers crossed)

It was cool to meet you guys in person last Sunday at Taylors Falls. Isn't that place GREAT!? If I knew about your club I could have told you about that place a few years ago LOL More locations like that would be an awesome find.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make the TF comp next month, but I am looking forward to do some more crawling with you guys again. I posted a link to your web site on the MMTR site.

MMTR is going to do a couple of outdoor races this summer and some crawling dates too. Anyone is welcome. The info will be posted on our site when we figure out dates.

Later,
Ben

Ben, I don't know if you noticed, but there's 2 comps next month, 1 July 16th and the 2nd July date is the 30th.


Adogg, either Sat or Sun works for me.

 

[speedsport22]

Freetime. I'm trying to get more ground clearence. I was going to redo the whole chassis but I dont have the material.

 

[9GUY9]

That would be great if some of you guys came down to Mankato. I would like to show you the place down by the river in Rapidam.

however I am going to be in LaCrosse this weekend for Riverfest to pratcise my "social" skills:lol: . If you guys do decided to come down this weekend I can give you directions to Rapidam, or if Chris knows what i'm talking about he can show you.

 

[Etype R]

I don't think I will be going this weekend. I started mocking up the TXT and I want to do some more work with that now. And I've been out crawling 4 weekends in a row now Think it is time to take a weekend off and save some gas, and fab up somthing new. I also changed the springs on my TLT, If it still has issues I will redo the entire truck.

 

[Nicklepimp]

Sunday works for me. Last week I found a weak spot in my new rig in the first 5 minutes of driving, unfortunatly I didn't have the parts to repair it until later, so I never really got to see how it crawls.

Speedsport, you should still come out since we're gonna be down there. If you're just trying to improve the rig-bring what you got. If it's not running, come out anyways!

 

[speedsport22]

Well since they have not had work for me all this week. I was up untill 3:00am getting r done:shock: . She crawls like a champ now:twisted: . I mounted my bottum links on top of the axle and made a 1in bracket lift for the top ones. I have like 3in of clearence now. The only problem is that I still have a little axle wrap:x .

Oh I all most for got 9GUY9 it is Rapadan not Rapadam and yes I know where it is LOL:lol: . It is to bad you wont be able to make it.

Adogg you had said some thing about you had some stuff for me for rebuilding my truck? Could you bring it with?

What time do you guys want to plan on? Also do you guys want to meet out there or some where in town and then go out there?

Well I will see you guys on sunday.

 

[Nicklepimp]

I'd be ok with being down in Mankato around 12:00 ish also. Maybe leave this area around 11 or so. Sound good to you guys? As far as where to meet, Speedsport, you might be the best to answer that. Is the crawling area easy to find? If so where should we park? Or if it's easier, choose maybe a spot that's easier to find. Either way if you could post directions or a map that'd be sweet!

 

[Nicklepimp]

Hey Adogg, you can have your sticker back. I think it still has some adhesive on it

 

[freetimecrawler]

Well, I'm not so sure now if I'm going to be able to make it Sun.
I sold my apt building interests today. Operation exodus is beginning. I'll be moving within a week or Two. I just can take this city life anymore. I'm not even sure where I'm going to relocate to yet. I think I'm going to pack up and take off the first week in July and just do some traveling for a month or two and see where I end up. My health is failing with this stress of city life, and for my own good, I've got to get out of the city. If I'm not too far away, I'll come back to make the MN comps. I'm going to be having a sale on the stuff I really don't need, truck, car, cycle, tools etc in the next week or so. If I'm not busy packing and wrapping up loose ends, I'll make it to Mankato Sun.
I won't be droping out of crawling or the MN club, chances are I'll be within an hour from the cities, just out in the country or a small town.

 

[speedsport22]

Freetime I really hope things get better for you. I'm sory to hear that things are going bad. I hope you can make it sunday as I enjoy being around you.

As far as a time I think that noon works. It might be just as easy to meet in town and then head out to the crawlin spot. There is a Happy Chef rite on the edge of town if you come down H169. We can meet there at 12:00 and go from there. So people have time to get there we can plan on leaving from Happy Chef at like 12:30 if that works for you guys.

Also those of you that don't have my # I can PM it to you just let me know.

 

[Nicklepimp]

Well that just sucks! Freetime, I know you've been stressin' lately, but I didn't think it all like that. It sucks to see you go, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I know you'll be busy, but we'd really like to see you make it to as many of the comps and gtg's as possible. Whatever happens, I wish you the best of luck!

 

[pro beater]

troy , what ya want for the bike ? and when ya gunna sell me that Cherokee dammmmit

 

[freetimecrawler]

I'm pretty sure I'm good to go for Sun. Probably only bringing 1 truck though.
I think if it's nice, I'll ride my cycle. post up if there's any changes. Hopefully we've found yet another spot for a comp?
