Hey Metal Man.. Nice Vid!..
That place looks cool... I'll still check with my buddies on a spot but that one works for me..

I'll update the team with any suggestions that come fourth in the mean time, for now your spot has my vote!!

Thanks for your time Gentlemen..

Have a great one..

The spot has my vote too. Plus, it is very close to my relatives house. :yes: So not much driving to get there. Plus, it looks to have room for any size rc there, from 1/18 to 1/5...

drkros3 05.21.2008 12:22 PM

im down with that spot too.

I'm cool with park bashing. Sounds like fun. A BBQ would be great as well. I'd be down to bring some food and drinks. MetalMan, does that place have grills, or would we need to bring one?

No grills there, but there are two public tennis courts :lol:.

The terrain at that park is rough in some areas, and has really loose dirt in some spots. It makes for interesting driving, and can actually require driving skill :surprised:.

A BBQ would be nice. :yes: I don't know if I could bring any food, but I know I'll be able to bring a plastic launch ramp (like the 1 foot ones you see in many video's) and possibly a shovel to build a landing or another jump. :yes:

Just got a response back from the owner of OCRC Raceway, you DON'T need a membership to run on the track. But without a membership practice is $15/driver/day.

rschoi_75 05.22.2008 03:23 PM

I'm liking the park idea more and more. I like the idea of having no rules, no fees, and just a large area where we could just hang out and shoot the sh*t. My only concern would be the city's policy on rc's and public parks. I know a lot of places that won't allow them. It would be a real bummer to drive an hour then get told to leave after 10 minutes of bashing. Either way, I'm in. I may even be able to bring some buddies that know absolutely nothing about rc... we can use them as marshals. :lol:

Have a good one gents.

TDC57 05.22.2008 03:56 PM

I've got two plastic ramps and small Weber BBQ I can bring..

I've never had any issues with the local authorities, they usually want to drive it for a few, but mine are all electrical so I’m not sure about their thoughts on Nitro??.

Have a great one and (yes) please bring some marshals:party:

jnev 05.22.2008 06:34 PM

So I guess LeBard park it is. :yes: We still have to decide what date (13th or 20th) though... both are totally fine with me. I think we should start making a list of what everyone will be bringing... what rc's and other stuff like ramps, grill, food, etc. You can just copy and paste the list and add it in your own response. :yes:

jnev: Revo, CRT.5, RC18MT(all brushless), 1ft tall plastic ramp, shovel

BTW guys, feel free to bring any rc item you have whether it is a plane, heli or whatever, even if its nitro, so hopefully the noise of nitro won't be too big of an issue. This is just a friendly get together for the RCM crew. :party:

MetalMan 05.22.2008 09:57 PM

The park there isn't well-suited to airplanes and helis due to lower-hanging power lines.

Nitro cars/trucks aren't a big deal, though, considering that I've done nitro there in the past, BP-Revo has, and another friend of mine has, and probably other people I don't know.

MetalMan: Hyper 8, CRT.5, reversed-tranny Rustler, Savage, support equipment?, directions to get there

TDC57 05.23.2008 04:05 AM

I'll bring one truck GR3 E-Revo and Xray 808 buggy + (two ramps) a portable Weber BBQ and cooler!.. If its ok (with the team??) can I bring my son for Video and marshal duties?? if not (no Worries).. Just thought I would ask the team..

Have a great one..

jnev 05.23.2008 10:43 AM

It would be totally ok to bring your son. :yes: I will have to try to drag my brother there as well, as he is a pretty amazing photographer. :yes: Hopefully he won't be too lazy... :lol:

rschoi_75 05.23.2008 11:57 AM

rschoi_75: XT8, Jammin X1CR, Crt.5, and maybe a few mini's to play with (depends on what's running at the moment). I'll also have some support equipment as well.

As for food... some stuff to grill since we have a BBQ and some snacks (chips, granola bars, etc...). I can bring more/less if needed. Once we get a head count we can start assigning food/drinks.

Question: will we be relying on our car batteries for our chargers or are there outlets available. I'm assuming no.

Best Regards,
Rich
