Indy 2014 - Aug 21 - 24

[Izzy]

ANNOUNCEMENT!

The Construction Toy Show is on schedule and Arranged.

- YES it is on track - It's happening - No Joke -

Bring your trucks, equipment etc.

remember that this is a construction toy show


Since Ric is not participating in the show this year, the costs for the space are higher and therefore the pit pass cost has increased to cover the room cost.

Costs related to the 'crushed rubber', carpets, road bed etc. will be covered by individuals and there will be fund raisers to help offset those costs back to those individuals.

Yes you can.

[Izzy]

Pit passes will still be sold by the promoter - pic them up at the organizers room as usual. Pit pass cost does not include the show admission fee.

[Dieselchopper]

I wish I could make it. Had planned to but with just starting a new job after old company went into receivership it's still tough. Hope ya all have a good time!!

Hi Guys is anyway to do a rc mini truck rodeo this year? Well let me know I can order some awards 1er 2do and 3rd place.

[pigeonfarmboy]

I may be alone, but I don't know what a truck rodeo is.

[TRUCKMAKER]

A truck rodeo consists of various tasks such as backing maneuvers, turning within a certain area etc if I remember correctly your up against the clock. At the moment that's all that comes to mind. There's a lot more to it than that. YouTube would probably have some vids. I would much rather drive a 1:1 in a rodeo than an RC not that I would do well with either, the control of the 1:1 would seem easier but the view of the RC would be an advantage.

[JoseFL10-4]

Here is a example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6e4H6ZkNzU I just back from the fl truck rodeo was this weekend, just to do something different this year at the show + r going to be THE FIRST R/C TRUCK RODEO IN U S what better place than Indianapolis.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt7hnmB6Dew

[rcguyfarms]

Any idea on the pit pass cost?

[Izzy]

There have been plenty of rc rodeo - not sure at the Indy event though. We look forward to the added activity.



Pit passes - before I drop the $ I'd like to re state that the pit passes are covering the cost of the ballroom for the whole event (Thursday through mid Sunday)

Cost is $25 per driver for the weekend.

To put it in perspective it's about 1/3 of a nights stay in a hotel. Pretty reasonable I think.

I would think for the ppl coming through the door to pay to see what you guys are doing, the show should be paying you guys to attend or at least given free space to set up... none of you are there to sell commercially after all, that was previously PMD's gig.

[Supermario]

To put things into perspective....

This is not a cheap hobby and can easily spend hundreds of dollars on a build. What is 25 dollars to have the opportunity to share and interact with others? That's what the building is all about right?
Best 25 you could ever spend!
Wish I could go this year. Next year for sure, turns out the Canadian government has people in charge of getting citizens pardons and US waivers! They will do the leg work for me!


See you next year!
