I figured if he gets back to me in time we could bring it up at the meeting, maybe even setup something where a few of us could get together and look the area over and plan things out. A course designed and built by crawlers is ALLOT better than something made by people that dont know what a crawler is.... Look at how successful HT Napervilles course has been...Built by Crawlers for Crawlers. I would imagine LH has a larger area to play with and a little more money to put into it (not that it should cost allot). The only drawback will be that its outside and thus realy only usable for 4-5 months a year. Im loving all these man made courses being built.... it will never replace good natural formations but when you live in flatsville its nice.

Yep I hear ya! Bernie said he's got a huge pile of rocks from when LHR was built to use so that shouldn't be a problem there and I can round up more rocks and whatever else we would need to add to it! It'll be nice to have a nice outdoor course for the club to use!
 LMK if ya want to meet with Bernie cause i'd like to be there to talk about it with ya both and look over what he's got to work with and how big of an area he's gonna let us use? I'm off of work this week so anytime this week would be fine with me, and i'm going to be up by the track during the day the rest of the week so I can run by if you get a hold of him? He'll be there for racing Wed night so I could stop by before dark to check things out with ya two?Thanks!

Rob, dont get the RTR version....its more of a WK than a crawler....
I just spoke to Bernie from LHR, they have a rather large area they are wanting to do and they are open (and looking for) input from the crawler comunity. We will discuss it at the meeting Saturday, Im looking for 2-3 guys to go down with me Sunday morning to look over the area and discuss the build. It sounds like we could use the same mthod I used at my "farm" of digging out the dirt and shaping everything then laying down concrete. They have a NICE sized areafrom talking to him, sounds like about 70' across and 5-7' tall in a half moon shape. I am going to post up/send him some pics of the different course's I have built and the method I described...Lets have everyone thinking of what should be done and how we want to see it.
