More Trials events?

[solihull109]

Hello, I would like to know if it's a possibility to have more trials events, other than Robesonia and possibly Sunbury. This past weekend was my first event, and I'm hooked, I do have alternative land use in central Pa if that would be of interest.
If there would be any help needed, I'd be right there. Anyone else have a take on this?

I'd bet that they're a few of us who'd be interested...
I've got three acres that could be made into a little something-anybody remember what Tom did with his 1 acre?

Hey, I'm from north central pa, I could get creative with a pick up load of dirt in the parking lot behind Wal-mart......yeehaw!

What we need to do is figure out how to turn the Ringwood trail clean-up into a trials event! Seems like PA has all the fun.

I remember Tom's course. It was the first time I got to drive a series - Evan's. Later on I got stuck with the DII (embarassing!) b/c the ETC/ABS/HDC wasn't working and the CDL wasn't hooked up yet. Tom gave me a little tug with his tractor! There was even a teter totter and water hole - quite amazing for a little plot of land.

Jason, believe it or not the original plan for Ringwood was a trials course! Way back when, me, Tom B. and Steve H. took a look at what was then private property that the owner had agreed to let us play on. It's on the other side of town so you never saw it. I don't know the acreage, but it took us 30 minutes to drive a loop through it without stopping. Trails over there were used almost exclusively by ATVs but rovers could just slip through for the most part. Just a month or two after we looked at it he sold it to the state for a hefty sum and they tore down the house.

Now it is part of Norvin Green State Forest and the trails are still there - but overgrown without the constant ATVs. I'm fairly confident we could get access to it since Ringwood State Park is actually in charge of patroling over there, but I doubt they would go for a trials course. I bet if we looked we could find some garbage to pick up back there!

i'm down to cut, er, ah, clean up trails in that area.

I've got a house and a couple hundred acres in Fulton county PA (near breezwood) that we could cut a course into. Its got open fields,forest with really old logging roads and a couple of stream crossings. Oh and plenty of space for camping.

I could probably set up 5 or so trials stages in the woods at my place in NJ.

Something I thought of when out with Jeff and Tom building the trials course was an offroad challenge. Sort of like a mini Camel Trophy.

For instance, when we were out building the course in that mill race/ditch I thought how neat it would be if we built a log bridge and made competitors pull it across the ditch in order to cross. Another one would be to have them change a tire in a mud pit and other cruel things like this.

Of course this would require trucks with, at minimum, a winch. You would also have to compete as a team, driver and co-driver.


Here's one for you NJ guys. Ben builds 5 trials at his place, someone else does the same at theirs. In between do a Time-Speed-Distance rally to add challenges to it. Of course you have to follow the speed limit on legal roads and that's what makes it hard as no one actually does the speed limit.

So Galen, when you are house hunting - find some land for all of us to come play on.
