I heard about that but was not sure if they let us RC there. When are you going next, I would like to meet you there and bash.

Hoping for this weekend. Gotta get the savage running again. I broke a bunch of stuff in an attempt to do forward flips last time I went there.

Usually on Sundays nothing is going on over there. They have never hassled Tune and I about the RC stuff, most of the time they sit and watch. I don't think they mind as long as you're not hogging the track.
Gotta get the buggy running, maybe I can join you guys this weekend

I drive on 90 towards the city from Arlington Heights to home and notice just past Lee street they are building some new buildings and there is a BIG area of unfinished land. It looks prime for bashing as from what I can see it's mostly dirt and seems to be fairly smooth. It looks like if you take higgins rd towards O'hare it's next to the United airlines office building. I might have to check it out sometime as it's only 10 minutes from the house.

Anyone ever get busted by driving in construction sites. I have always thought about it but I am not too sure about what the law would say. I have this 100ft tall gravel hill on a site thats just been teasing me everyday on the drive home and I'm dying to try it.

I've been asked to leave by cops or the ocasional rent-a-cops. Never been ticketed or anything. many times a cop will come by to see what you are doing but not tell you to leave or they will tell you to stay away from certain areas, like deep holes, machinery or stacked materials. construction sites are a ton of fun though.
