40 Acre Rock Shakedown this weekend

[Cajun]

Well, it's not going to be exactly an "event", but, I'm going to head down to 40 Acre Rock this weekend to shakedown my truck before the CRR comp on the 10th. That's the closest spot to us that has any real rock to crawl on. Anybody interested in joining in? I can go anytime Thursday through Sunday. Chime in if you'd like to go and we can come up with a time.

where is it from w-s? cause i was going to try hitting bullhole

[Cajun]

It's about 30 minutes south of me down in the edge of South Carolina. It's about 5 miles south of Pageland. Then it's about a 3/4 mile hike into the crawl spots. It's not actually 40 acres, but it is actually 14 acres of granite to crawl on.

We cant go this thursday but a few of us should be heading down to URE this saturday to practice on some courses before the comp if anybody wants to go

[Cajun]

Yeah, I thought about going to URE, but it's quite a bit farther for me...I'm gonna stick to 40AR this weekend.

How's the weather for the rest of the week this looking? I wouldnt mind coming out and doing some craling with this AX10 to see how the set up is and get some opions from some who have been crawling for awhile.

From what ive seen thursday and saturday are supposed to be in the 40s with a chance of rain this friday.

[Cycleeric]

Thursday would be best for me since Ive got a Polar Bear Run on Saturday. It's a 60 mile drive so not that bad just need to know what time to be there and where to meet. I'll be driving my Dually

Did you wanna do 40AR or URE?

[Cycleeric]

Im in Dallas NC so 40 acre would probably be better for me but Im up for what ever

[Cajun]

I can be down there anytime on Thursday...what works for you?

[Cycleeric]

it's about an hour drive for me so we could say around lunch time but Im off untill next monday so I can be there earlier if you want to. It will be my first time out with my AX10

[Cycleeric]

Where would you want to meet? Ive got it pulled up on Google maps and it looks like Nature Reserve rd off Hwy 601 is the location for 40 Acre Rock Heritage Perserve

[Shocker]

Hmmmm, Thursday is my last off before I go on-call.

Still aint got my b!tch of a crawler finished yet though. I'd hate for the 10th to be my shakedown run.

I can bring my balls to 40AR to help set up some courses.

Right now it's just Lee & Eric on Sunday?

Hey

What do you need to finish the truck? Let me know if I can help you out.

[Cajun]

Right now it's just me and Eric on THURSDAY. Sounds like about noon or a little earlier.

Eric, you take 601 south out of Pageland about 10 miles, and turn right on Nature Reserve Road. Go about 2 miles to Conservancy Road (look for the brown sign with the binoculars) and take a left. Go all the way to the end of Conservancy Road to the parking lot. We can meet there, just name the time. It's about a 3/4 mile walk into 40AR.

You can also come across Hwy 9 to 601 if you wanted to come down that way. For that matter we could meet up here somewhere and ride down together if you'd like.

[Shocker]

Thanks Rene. I appreciate the offer.

I've got the last of it coming. Just needed some gear jelly and a few extra connectors to get this thing wired up. Oh yeah, I bought a new motor to install up front. Not sure what the 55t motor that I do have has been thru.

I set Jan 9th as "THE DEADLINE" on my calendar. Then I got a list started. It was surprisingly short. :D

[Cajun]

Hmmmm, Thursday is my last off before I go on-call.

So can you make it down on Thursday?

[Shocker]

So can you make it down on Thursday?

I thought about maybe making it OVER and then down. Was pondering meeting you in Monroe at the homestead possibly. Didnt know what your agenda is though?

Then again, talking to the family, I think we can all make the trip. Maybe we can meet you to follow you to 40AR or depending on how long you plan to be there, maybe you can ride with us.

How's the new truck 1:1 treating you & Pete? :)

[Cajun]

Sure, that could definitely work. I think the fam would have a good time there for sure, it's areally cool park and like no place I've ever seen before.

New truck's doing good, Pete loves the fact that he has his own seat now. ;)

[Cajun]

I'm going to leave my place about 10:30 or 11 tomorrow morning. That should put me at the 40AR parking lot at about 11 or 11:30 for anyone interested.

[Shocker]

I Unt to follow you Lee or maybe meet you off of 16. Dont know how you head out to get there?

We've been missing each other all day :monkeyeye:

[Cajun]

We're pulling out of here about 11 this morning. We'll be at 40AR parking area about 11:30 or 11:45. So far it's me, Icepick, Shocker and maybe Ruthless.

[Shocker]

I cant get anybody to get out of bed :(


EDIT: But we still made it :p

[HillCrawler]

Not to change the subject but will anybody be going to URE this saturday.

I can't make it out there this weekend (both rigs are still in pieces in the living room floor...DOH!!!)... but let me know how it is...

[Cycleeric]

Today was a good day and it was nice meeting you guys. I think I'll be back down there again in the near future as soon as I get the Sidewinder and Holmes motor installed. Im checking on a couple 11v Lipos now to see how soon I can get them

[Cajun]

Yeah, it was great to meet you Eric! We had a fun time and I know what I need to do to my truck before next weekend now. This was the first real run with the Wheel Pigs and I tihink I'm a tad heavy, I also need to work on less body roll and I have a link rod end to fix now....DO'H!

[Cycleeric]

Good thing you broke it right before we left. I got my sidewinder and Holmes 35t installed tonight and ordered a couple bigger batteries for it last night so I'll be doing more practicing very soon

[Cajun]

Yeah, I'm gonna try to get it fixed this weekend so we can go down there and explore more in the near future.
