It was your boss' idea.... I was there crawling in the morning and all morning people were coming in to watch and ask about buying crawlers. So when I was leaving he asked if I wanted to come in Monday and finish it and I said I couldnt but I could come back after I ate. Main thing I was going to do was fix were someone stepped on it (again!!!!) but since I had to go buy crete anyway and my wife didnt mind helping we went ahead and "finished" it off. Mike said he wasnt worried about the helo pad either, he just wanted it done. So I made the comment "whens the first comp" to which he replied "Saturday". Caught me off guard!!!! I guess me saying that Orland parks HT was holding 1 and offering prizes just might have spurred him on a little 
. He asked that I run it because he doesnt know anything about rules or judging or anything. Whats nice about it is, it free's everyone else up to drive. He offered up some pretty nice prizes also (Ill post them up mid week) and he is going to put in a "wish list" so everyone can put down what they would like to see the store carry in the way of crawlers and parts (I think he might be getting the bug)
The course is going to be an out and back... 6-8 gates, run everyone thru once then reverse direction and go again (maybe change 1 or 2 gates). Once the truck is on the course only the judge will be allowed to touch it (unless a repair is needed). We will be following the USRCCA 2007 rule book with the exception that there will be 1 free reverse that will be in a certain area of the course (will be discussed in the drivers meeting). Also there will be a 5min run limit and the course will be timed in case of a tie.
