Right now it looks like we are shooting for February 11th.

Filed in the tentative schedule.



(edit) I was thinking of this over the weekend and it would be cool to do a rally in the evening after dark. What's the point in having cool lights mounted if you can't really use them :ror: Just a thought.

It gets kind of cold in Colorado during February, once the sun goes down.

I was thinking one of the later races in the CRC series. Only problem would be finding a place that has enough light for the rest of us, either that or we bring a bunch of blinding halogens and run up someone's electrical bill.

Gary was saying there is a RC track up there we might be able to use. Going to try to make it up there some time this week/weekend and check it out.

Rodney and I were talking a little while ago about doing a couple over the summer around 8 or 9pm out at HOON 470."thumbsup"

I bought a light pod for my rally car a couple weeks ago in preparation.:mrgreen:

Keep the Springs track in mind. I think there is potential as long as the guy who runs it lets us make a track next to the short-course track. There could be a mix of tarmac and dirt .

i can talk to rich about it ( thats the guy who runs the track up there. ) see what he thinks. id love to have a place here in colorado springs to rally. me and a friend have been thinking about getting a place to build a track but have no ideas.

That'd be great! I've only met him once (a couple of years ago) but he seems like a really nice guy. He was at the rally rock-cross LWBSami put on but I didn't get a chance to talk to him.

I was thinking of the south track for the Mini's and just to the west of the track there is a group of trees. That would be the place to build a little rally course. From there we could have it zig-zag to the tarmac and maybe even a straight on the way back to open our cars up a little bit :twisted:.

Even if we don't have a comp there, it would be nice to have a place close buy to get out for a couple hours.

I don't see a track...Are you sure this isn't some kind of airport or something??

My theory is.... R/C cars are more enjoyable launching them up in the air and trying to get some alltitude.

... and airplanes are more enjoyable losing alltitude and smashing into the ground. :ror: Crazy how that works out

Here is the GoPro video. i have to apologist for the shaky camera work. Too much coffee, not enough sleep & bad camera mount are to blame. I ran it trough the video stabilizer twice and it still came out shaky. there still some cool shots enjoy!!!
