Not so! I need to get my body painted, but after that I'll be looking for a free night to go to Leisure Hours and get some practice time on the indoor track with my Sibenelch build and my Slash. Maybe something can be organized....

has anybody been to underground r/c??? i don't know how that place is but i know leisure is not the spot to run vintage

What makes you say that? Do people break a lot of parts there or something? I've never run there personally, but I have been there and the tracks looked pretty cool.

place is pretty big(indoor)...i have only been there for nitro practice and always manage to break something on my truck(my fault but of course ) i am sure if driven correctly it wouldn't be a huge problem but some of those jumps are HUGE ...maybe i should just drive my rigs in a bubble

I think I see a lot of nitro's breaking stuff there. When the slash class or other electrics race I don't see the carnage. I think with nitro that's just the nature of the beast. jmo

I went out to Leisure with my slash for the first time last Friday. I had a great time. I need to get electronics into my "What's old is new.." gold tub worlds mobile thingy so I can bring that next time. Maybe I'll see some of you guys out there.

i know of cliffs offroad park down by starved rock, and the badlands in attica, indiana. i've only been to cliffs a couple times, and while there are definitely hard trails there, it isnt too big and more of a 4wheeler park. still fun though... i've heard that the badlands are pretty cool, but i havent been yet.

growing up in colorado definitely will spoil you...

pm me if you wanna go wheelin sometime once the weather gets a little better. i'm sure me and a buddy will be going to cliffs more than a few times this summer.

Anyone interested?

I think this would be a great idea and I would love to attend.
