Well sorry i missed you guys last sunday, had to plow again! Should be able to make it this coming sunday i'm good for then, as long as it doesnt snow.

You guys ever figure out which name its gonna be yet. I liked the ideas John said, we should take a look at those again. Plus i've been trying to think of something,. It has to be off the wall...something weird but cool.

You should let XXX Keith give you the slogan. You can be sure that it would be catchy, yet family friendly.

Got a line on some rocks. Right around the corner where we got the topsoil when we started the outdoor track. 6" to 12" rocks, $32 a ton. It is a pile of rocks, no dirt. We would have to pick them up, but it should be pretty easy. He said he would turn them over with a loader so we could see what is there a little bit better. It will have to be done on a weekday because we do have to use the scales to keep track of how much we take. Jason can open the store during the day if there are those that are available

The Sunday comp today went well and all that participated had fun. There were five entries, the results can be found below.

First comp

Schane Fredricks.........-49 1st place

Erv Voisard................. -7 2nd place

Jim Schreiber.............. -1 3rd place

Shawn Snow................35 4th place

Larry (not sure on last name) had a DNS do to magic smoke from his ESC and could not participate.


For the second comp we run the coarse backwards with no bonus gates.


Jim Schreiber.................30 1st place

Schane Fredricks............39 2nd place

Shawn Snow..................86 3rd place

Erv Voisard....................87 4th place

For all that don't know, Sunday will be our comp day, and it would be great to have more people out on the coarse on Sundays.

Just as a reminder this coming Tuesday 01/27/09 at 11:00am at BFG we will be meeting to get the rest of the rocks to finish the coarse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is understandable If you can't make it out because it will be on Tue during working hours.

I think I should stick to the right direction with the bonus gates.
My idea to run in reverse,didn't work out all that well for me.:confused:

01-25-2009, 11:50 PM
Boy... that was a lot of fun. Thanks again to everyone who showed up. :thumbsup:

Erv... yea, I hear yea. Next time I think I will try the cable bridge with all 4 tires on it. :) Maybe I will even charge up my battery.

To all readers... Please come out to these comps. The guys have done a wonderful job, building a course that is challenge, fun and if done creatively (see my silly driving skills...) quite funny. :p The course that was setup by Schane was excellent. It allowed for all to have fun while learning a little bit more about there crawlers.

Larry... I hope you get your crawler fixed soon. :cool:

For those of you that were at the first two meetings we discussed having a monthly meeting the first Sunday of every month. With it being Super Bowl Sunday this week we are going to postpone the meeting to the following weekend, Sunday Feb 8th@ 1pm. For all those that are interested in the club please bring your members dues that day as we are already incurring expenses for the course. If you have any questions about the cost for the year please PM me. On a seperate note we have purchased the rights to battlefrontcrawlers.com and are currently working on the site. We are going to need a couple of guys/gals to be there next Friday/Saturday during the ROAR race to hold some exhibitions. Please PM me if you are interested. We want to get the word out about Crawling!!! If you have not been out lately you are missing out, the course is very challenging but fun and we look forward to holding a competition real soon.

Man, wait until you see this thing now. 3 tons of rock were added to the course today and there is rock on every inch of it now. We figure that is between 5 and 6 ton on the course now.

Guys did a super job!!! Thanks Brian, Schane and Nate!!!!!

Trying to get Jason (my son) to post some pictures yet tonight.

Is anyone interested in crawling on Wednesday 1/28/09? I will be at BFG doing some tweaking on the part of the coarse that was completed today. I will be there about 6:00pm. It helps fine tune the coarse by running over all the rocks a few times, to find the loose ones on the elevated sections. So if you are interested, come out and beat the snot out of the rocks. It will make my job a lot easier, and make the coarse more stable for this Sundays comp.

The boy, and I may come up , and join you on the rocks for a spell.
I made a few tweeks on my steering, to gain a little more. Then replaced
the bent an beaten ft. lower links from sundays little comp.

Dont know if i'll be out tonight{Wed}, maybe i'll try, but i was thinking thurs. night.

Yes i'm glad thats done I have to wash out my truck from all the dirty rock we hauled.
My back felt it too.

I'm very excited about this course,. yesterday when we got the rocks in Shane was spraying water on to wash the rocks and i was crawling arround his spraying, wet rocks or not it was awesome. It was like winning the loto, dont know where to enjoy it first, here, there, up there, arround that,. where to run i dont know! it was all fun.

You wont believe how many lines you can take. Its like throwing a cat in the middle of the woods alone and watch it find its way...................the way to, wherever

Which was placed within the track. It put the icing on the cake. it is now established. :woohoo: heres some pics of tonights events

As everyone can see the coarse is finally done. I would like to change this Sundays comp, to this Saturday at 10:00am because the Superbowl is on Sunday.

01-28-2009, 11:56 PM
Ooops, the ROAR race is a week from Saturday, not this Saturday. February 6 and 7. Sorry I was a bit busy tonight and didn't have a chance to talk much about plans.

Although I do not share Nates enthusiasm for the Superbowl I will be in Detroit til Saturday evening. If we meet at 11 on Sunday we should be able to get a good run in before the parties start. By the way thanks Schane.

Well see i didnt think it was this weekend! Sun. is fine with me. infact i wanna crawl every day now that the track is so fun. I'd rather worship a expensive toy rather than a sweaty guy in tights!

I may go crawl Friday. night arround 5pm and Sunday @1pm

01-29-2009, 10:34 AM
Sunday at 11:00 am sounds good to me. Just as a reminder, it will be $5.00 to use the coarse during the week and $10.00 on Sundays/comps from now on. See everyone on Sunday!!!!!!!

Shawn,Erv and myself have parties to go to this Sunday. So it would work better for us to start at 10:00 or 11:00am this Sunday.

Sunday Februray 1st, Super Bowl Sunday. Rock Crawling competion at 11:00 (that is when the doors open on Sunday).

Sounds like the goal is to have everyone on their way before the Super Bowl festivities get under way.

Don't forget we have moved the montly club meeting to February 8 at 1:00 to avoid conflict with the Super Bowl on the normal first Sunday of the month. Please plan on attending on February 8 and be prepared to fill out membership registration and pay club dues for the year.
