Default Great Indy Show - Thanks to Everyone!

Thanks to everyone that made the Indy Show happen - Ric & the Arizona group, the clubs and all the participants. This was my first year to stay for Friday and Saturday, and brought my work-in-progress Payhauler. Got to drive it around and feel like a "real" participant myself. Mostly, I got to meet many of the guys I've either just read about or swapped a few PM's. That was the best part - getting to meet folks and learn something about them. Thanks again, to everyone for making it a great event.

Ken - Sparkycuda

Ken -that was always one of my favorite dump trucks, it was great to meet someone with the talent to build a scale R/C version!

I would also like to thank Ric, Ryman, Travis and Izzy, it was a great show, my first of many I hope. It was a good time and I'm glad I got to meet a lot of the people on the forum!

That's one of the reasons I have never attended the Indy show. My, or should I say; my wife's anniversary is on August 22nd.

Thumbs up Re: Great Indy Show - Thanks to Everyone!

Don't worry Nick, Ric & Ryman haven't gotten back to AZ yet. I'm certain they'll load photos and video once they're unloaded.

I just posted some pictures and video, I still have to get the video off of my camcorder.

P.S. When I was packing up I was missing some of my bruder signs and fences and was wandering if someone picked them up.

Sorry for that it was definetely not done on purpose.

The Laquita is right next door - nice and close - even honored a show special rate.

Figure about this same time next year. The promotors has a multi year contract. Not sure if the exact dates are set

Btw
Set up start is Thursday noon - complete by about 5
We run until we're all tired - about 3am each day
We start up again about 8:30am each day
Tear down usually starts noon Sunday but started extra early this year.
