NICE! We just got a donation of 55lbs of snow-gel "like" material. I have not tried it yet, but we think it will work just fine. Thanks to Neil and Ian for that very useful contribution!

Rail Jam this Sunday August 12th.

We will be having a competition at this event. The entry fee will be $10 and the proceeds will be split between the winners and the Park 1260 improvement fund. We have received a huge amount of "snow gel" as a donation recently and we have re-made the lip for the box similar to the rail run.

If you have not been to one of the jams yet, please contact me for information.

Start time is around 5-6pm and we have plenty of lights to jam into the dark.

That's right, fall is just around the corner!

There will be no Jam on 9/9/7 due to the possibility of thunderstorms. However we will be having our next jam on 9/22/7 to celebrate the arrival of fall. Start time will be around 6pm as usual.

Don't forget about the Monster Jam on 10/27/07, it is going to be a big one. We are lining up sponsors now, and should have some decent prizes for the competition. We are planing on some additions, hopefully they should be installed by 10/27. A new feature and loading area are on the list...

Ok, we are ready to build a new feature at Park 1260 for the upcoming Monster Jam. We are looking to build something that will fit into our current support system. So that is 2 adjustable supports basically 12' apart.

We can do a single barrel, a double barrel, or a 4" box rail.
If we do the box rail we can put in a kink or two.
If we do a single barrel we will be more limited on length due to stability.

We would like to know what your ideas are... what would you like to see?
If we use your idea you will receive a free season pass to 1260.

Rain or Shine guys...  we have tarps setup and ready in case it does rain though.  I looked at the weather earlier today and they say the rain should be done by the afternoon.  In any case, the carpet slides better in the rain anyway ;-)

Just wanted to let everyone know that we will still be having the rail jam on Saturday 10/27. We have been working on setting up almost 4000 square feet of tarps over most of the park and viewing areas. Bo the weather.com and accuweather.com forcast the rain to end by tomorrow afternoon anyway. Actually it looks like good weather for the competition, not too cold and not too warm.

So come on out and have some fun! Bring a chair along with if you are not competing so you can have a seat by the campfire.

Remember that www.twelve60.com has all the details!

Yea, too bad it had to rain... and too bad crappy setupsite.com screwed us with having the website down all day on Satuday.

But, we still had a great time and eveyone seemed to enjoy the event.

This thread is getting long, maybe we should start a new one.

Anyway, trying to figure out the best day to have the thanksgiving jam... Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?  The last time we had it on Fri and Sat, and Fri was the better.  What day works best for everyone that weekend?  Rememer 2 years ago it was cold enough that we "made snow" on the carpet!

Also, next jam... 11/10 or 11/11??
