anyone on this site ever venture over 2 offroadohio.com???????

they have discussion/post tryin to get some hardcore rigs together 2 rent THE ROCK for the day/weekend. i think this would be bad ass, even for 75-100 dollars. we would save double that in gas form a KY. trip and get 2 play on a ex-pro course.

just putin this info out there in case anybody else thinks the same....besides im not sure i'll ever get opportunity 2 flop on a man made spray crete course

Have you ever seen "The Rock" in person? It's only maybe 50' x 150' if my memory serves me correctly.......point being I'm only 45 minutes away and don't know if I would even bother taking my rig there if it were free. In my opinion even with a full tube rock buggy you would get bored after about an hour or two because you would have tried everything at least twice. I wouldn't even think about taking a non-tube buggy over 75% of the course.

But again that is my opinion, and I will say that I'm not big into rock crawl comps, and I don't have a tube buggy by any means.

You must have one hell of a buggy if you can do all of it in an hour. My main question would be. Will there be an all terrain fork lift there to pick the rigs out of the crevices????

tjjeepjeep · 03-12-2010, 11:05 AM

Is that what The Rock is ?? Really?

Flxratd · 03-12-2010, 12:30 PM

i was there to watch a compitition several years ago and thought it would be a blast to try. randy torbet was very exciting to watch. it was his first outing with his air actuated transfer case. i think i could burn up a day there easy but i didnt know it even still existed. keep us posted i liked to try

thanks scott

I registered on their forum (yes it was one I hadn't been on before) and tossed out that we could probably have a couple people interested.

fabricator · 03-12-2010, 02:14 PM

Count me in
I also went and competed a few years ago
got a trophy somewhere from there
was awesome, tore some stuff up too
would I do it again...hell yea.

cheapthrills49 · 03-14-2010, 03:57 PM

thats what im talkin bout its gota be worth a 2 hour ride up there even if it is small and me not having a buggy it should be some what of a challenge.....ive just never had "clean" traction like that b4 everything we ride has mud then u get slimy rocks. I'd like 2 see if its as sticky as pink rock!

Good luck then.

Nuts · 03-14-2010, 06:59 PM

Count me in for a trip up there. It is small, so you'd have to think of it like a skate park and look for your own lines instead of just following everyone else.

tjjeepjeep · 03-15-2010, 02:19 PM

Possible end of June....

donaldcon · 03-17-2010, 09:56 AM

Renting the rock out has been a discussion on ORO for some time. Idea first came up in Nov of 2008 and we have yet to accomplish it.

Maybe this time itll pan out who knows.

I think itd be fun for a day

I posted over there too...but I'm willing to help with planning this, if anyone over there wants/needs it.

fabricator · 03-17-2010, 01:54 PM

Well..
How much does the man want for a Saturday
anyone get that number yet?

94Dodge Truggy · 03-17-2010, 01:59 PM

I will take the side x side and r/c crawler there!

donaldcon · 03-17-2010, 10:31 PM

Weve been told $100 a truck but im not sure if thats an estimate or what.

I dliek to get a price to rent it for a day and then see how many people we can split that amongst

BIGRAM · 03-17-2010, 10:37 PM

. That sounds a little high$$

tjjeepjeep · 03-18-2010, 08:43 AM

I'm trying to get more info on it and have offered to help if they need it. But trying to walk the fine line between helping them and taking over the idea (you know trying not to offend everyone I meet).

Looking through the post, it was $1000 rental for the park for a day, so the logistics come about breaking it up between people. Can't remember if that number was 2008 or 2009. But there are a few things that are discussion worthy since it appears we have the interest (probably 10-12 vehicles between boards). Deal would be once we get the day rental rate then someone coordinating everything after that point. I'll reach out to someone and see what I can find out. I'll keep you informed as I know.

Here are some pictures I have gathered over the past year or so.

donaldcon · 03-18-2010, 11:36 PM

Dont worry about going over our heads, do what it takes to get it done.

tjjeepjeep · 03-19-2010, 09:36 AM

Jake at offroadohio.com says that discussions are already in process with the owners of The Roc for this to happen. Their concerns center around insurance (apparently). They are discussing it and working on possible timing/cost for us (us is now the folks at offroadohio.com and CORE for those keeping track).

I offered to run with it once we have the when and how much from them and he's good with that. So once we get some details from them, we can go from there. More to come..

mckeddie · 03-19-2010, 10:21 PM

i didn't even know this place was still there. i thought it closed down long ago.
