Hey all,
I'm wondering who's close by and what you're up to in the greater Bay Area. My son's Tamiya project earlier this year re-lit the RC fire for me, and I'm two rigs of my own in at this point (with at least four additional projects happening in my head).
I'm in SF, and have driven down to NorCal in SJ to try the track a couple of times now, but after building a Bomber and taking it to Axialfest, I think I'm a crawling convert (though I'd love to try some U4RC, or some Altra Ultra style races), and pretty taken by the scale modeling possibilities in trail & crawling rigs.
Besides a few links on Jake's Performance Hobbies site, I don't see a lot of local community pages, either with track & crawling spots, or meetup-style groups or clubs. I had so much fun talking and crawling with folks during my one day at Axialfest, I'm looking for whatever community exists a little closer to home.
If there's stuff out there I've missed, please point me to it. I'm good with websites and community tools, if you've got something going and want help.
While I have a half-baked idea to crawl every hilltop park in SF (Corona Heights has some nice lines), I know most good spots (and people) are going to be outside the city; any nearby suggestions would be appreciated. I'll probably drive a little further for events.
Some things on my to-do list:
- Try out the rocks near Genentech, based on the older posts here
- Bash the park in Santa Rosa
- Hopefully attend the Autism Awareness Crawl later in August
If you're local, or have local suggestions, I'm making lists!
