www.theroc4x4.com wrote:The first state of the art man made rock crawling facility with 30 acres of competition area set in the middle of an industrial park 12 minutes from downtown Columbus, Ohio.
Plans call for 15 man made obstacles from mild to wild. Large Sections of concrete tube have been hauled in to make the base of the obstacles. From there we are adding dirt and sprayed concrete to contour the shape and texture. The obstacles will look closer to natural compared to other man made sites by adding large boulders in the mix. Some of the boulders being moved into the site weigh 20 tons a piece. The plans call for 250-300 sections of concrete tube ranging from 54" wide to 12' wide, 3000 tons of boulders, 3000 - 5000 cubic yards of dirt and lots of sprayed concrete or "Gunite".
they have werock and neuroc down as upcoming events

Supercrawl last year was made the same. Was in the desert somewhere.
I have two clips from it that show it all finished. Looks just like real rock.

They are pretty cool!
I liked the one used for SuperCrawl and these look even better!
I seriously doubt that we will see anything constructed like that here for a little while yet!
When someone does do something along those lines i really hope they look and see how the yanks have done it and even contact them to find out things that have and have not worked. I also hope that they ask the people that WILL be driving the courses for an input aswell!
No point getting advice from someone that has no idea what and where a well built FULL tube buggy can go.
