PickUp Outfitters and CTOR

2011-03-18T12:42:00.003-05:00

Thanks to Bobby over at Pickup Outfitters for letting CTOR store the RTI ramp in front of their building off of Lake Air Drive. I believe this is a big deal for the club in that the exposure we should get from this busy thoroughfare is priceless. We plan to add some sheet metal to the top part of the ramp so we can ad Pickup Outfitters logo to the ramp in appreciation.

CTOR 2nd Annual Spring BBQ

Katemcy Rocks 2 Feb. 5, 2011

2011-02-27T22:26:00.003-06:00

A few hardy souls made the trip to Katemcy Rocks 2 (K2) on Feb 5th and 6th and braved icy 16 degree nights for some beautiful days wheeling at the new park. The crawling went well, but as always, the rocks fought back and sent almost everyone home broken, stuck, or both. The new park is really developing well and already beginning to rival some of the best wheeling in the state. Come on out and join us next time, the new park has something for every level of wheeling, and an awesome campground.

Activities include a Moon Bounce, Face Painting, Balloon Artist, and the Humpty Dumpty Course.

We are asking wheelers to donate their rig to be used for this event as we did last year. You will drive your rig and a soldier or their family members Saturday. Pre-registered Drivers will pay a fee of $75.00 and includes up to three passengers, wheeling Friday - Sunday, three meals and entertainment on Saturday, as well as two nights of primitive camping.

CTOR RTI RAMP

2010-04-12T12:09:00.007-05:00

Thats right ladies and gentlemen CTOR now has its very own RTI ramp. After Metals 2 Go donated nearly $600 in steel and with the other donations we recieved from club members we were able to go big(maybe overkill....) on the project. It stands seven and a half feet tall and is 15 feet long. The angle of the ramp is 30 degrees. I doubt anyone is topping this thing. We are still working on getting it painted and adding some graphics. Pictures of the build can be found in the projects section of the forum.

Thanks to Metals 2 Go and all those who helped in the build and donated parts.
