These past couple/few weeks have been a nightmare. My husband owns/runs a machining company and he started out making beadlock wheels for 2.2 and 1.9 scale radio controlled rock crawler trucks. http://eritexinc.com/zencart/index.p...juke49cpvosln2
Well, on Saturday they had a national rc crawler competition here in our city, and my husband helped set it up and run it along with Hobby Town, USA. He and some buddies have been working on getting ready for this thing for months, but no one would step up and do anything until the last minute. So of course, they have been in a rush to get everything ready in the past week or two. My husband had to shut down his shop for over a week to get this done. They had competitors, professional and amateur, from about 26 states come to this event, including Alaska!
It was a bunch of overgrown children acting like lunatics, but it turned out great!! Much better than they expected, anyway.
Here is a link to some pictures. http://rccrawler.com/omaha09.html If it takes you to the right place there should be a bunch of pictures of people running the courses. If so, at the very bottom, the last few pictures, my husband is the guy wearing a red sweatshirt. You can't see him very well, but that's him. lol I was there, but it looks like most of those pictures were taking in the morning before I got there. I sat in the corner by myself most of the time anyway.
All those guys are nuts, it's best just to stay out of the way.
I love these things and they are so much fun, but I'm so glad it is over. Back in May we went to one in Helena, Montana that was outdoors. THAT was fun. I got a great tan. LMAO Now our life can go back to normal, at least until next year. My poor husband got about 12 hours of sleep total in the past week, so he passed out at around 7:30 tonight.
