Berwyn Bash/BBQ - 04-04-2005, 10:47 AM

Here's the deal. Last year, we had a "Clean the jumps" bash at the Berwyn woods. Since the Jumps have been demolished, we should try to meet at the Berwyn woods, for a BBQ, and Bash. While there, we can go back to the "Jumps" (R.I.P.) and try to decide if we can make something usefull out of what is left. If you have Shovels, or Wagons, bring them along. If you have portable jumps, Bring those along. Also, feel free to bring food, snacks, Drinks, etc... The Saturday's in May are the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th. Everyone add your comments on which day is best for you, and we will set the date.

ya but then before i go i have to tear it apart and clean it all. I already did that this week for the dd race and il probly do it once more before the pro series. I even went as far as waxing my chassis, body, and rims. Gotta love turtle wax. And i cant drive causiously because once i get going its very hard to stop me unless i can find a wall. Just way to much fun and i get sucked in just from hearing an start everytime lol.

so "MR. Racer" can't come to the club BBQ's no more

It's fun racing and all but............. I can't help but remember and celebrate how this club got started. That's BBQing and bashing.

Don't get me wrong I think it's a thrill to race but I'll always love bashing too.

ya il come for food and thats about it. Im so focused on making a better racer and practicing a ton more that i dont feel like wasting my time playing in the street. Dont get me wrong i mean that in a good way but i just wanna race. Bashing just seems like something thats for like monster jams now. I dont know why because ive always loved to just go out bbq and bash but now its like no matter how much i want to i just wanna make my truck faster on the track. Just doesnt seem worth it for all this money into the truck to just bash it. But ya i will come out once or twice and bbq bash.

Mich, Sounds like it is time for a new truck.... That way you can have one set up for racing, and one just for bashing. It is a lot different "playing in the street" than when a bunch of us get together to Bash. The street can get boring real fast, but at least when we get together as a group, we have fun. Whether it is Drag racing, Jumping contests, B.B.Q.ing, B.S.ing, etc.

Never mind, I know what it is...... You are worried I'll try to take your truck out again. Not to worry, I won't try to wreck you (Unless there is a race coming up ) J/K

Hey guys,

We're new to the whole truck scene this Spring,and don't know any of y'all having never made it to LH or anything yet (but plan to), but I'm just gonna ask this....
If Berwyn got plowed over, and you rebuild it, will it get plowed again?
Just asking....
Is there any other off-road sites that might not "draw fire" from those who don't find RC'ing objectionable? Maybe private land, or further from the Forest Preserve areas?


got paint?

There may be a "Sunday Bash" in the making. Keep an eye out for that thread.

Mich, bring food if all your doing is coming to eat. I was hoping nobody in our club would turn into the "race only" type, I guess I was wrong to think that. I feel like our club is "taking sides" now. This is bogus. BBQ's at Berwyn start at 11am-12pm. Racing at Leisure starts at 5pm, I don't see why you can do both if your careful with your RC at Berwyn. If you can't be careful then that's another issue you may want to work on. Your so worried about "being faster" on the track yet you can't "be careful" at Berwyn? I don't even think you remember where this club started do you? In the streets, not at the track.

Like I've stated before, I love racing too, but I'm not going to forget where I came from.
