2009 Axial Midwest 2.2 Indoor Challenge Text and Photos by RCCrawler.com

3/14/09 2:30pm Just getting back into the swing of the comp after a nice lunch break. What were called "impossible" obsticals have all been conqured except for the one course being judged by RCC's own 666, coiencidence??? During lunch BigBaller, Kenny, FreqETaq, and RCC held the $10 challenge out on the mud covered race course, we had many takers, but only 1 rig was actually able to complete a full lap. The rig that made the lap looked to me to be a bone stock Axial SCX-10 running a 4600 mamba system. Holmes Power! Joey Floyd sliding off the edge of the wall of death. Griz giving it his best effort. Where's Waldo? MIRCA sends this reminder, "Say no to crack boys and girls" TylerD doing work! ' This goofball actually dumped water on his tires before running the course. Viva Tejas! Think they'd notice if I took the one on the left? Somebody put something on Joeys tires... Nabil shows off his Patented secret weapon. The Vanquish Products goon sqaud. Maxamps scaler before the $10 challenge Maxamps scaler after the $10 challenge Those Colorado guys have to label everything. RCC, mudproof! We heard this guy escaped from the local looney bin.

3/14/09 8:45am All the rigs have made it through tech and we are now underway. Gerame from Eritex was here until 12:30am lastnight laying out the gate markers on what look to be some super tough, but doable courses. We should have some tight scores as the day progresses.

3/13/09 3:10pm People are starting to show up and check out the courses. The live cam has been running with an overview of the event. Some people are wrenching, some people are doing some crawling outside, and some people are out in the parking lot bashing the fast rigs. I seem to have destroyed another Slash. Here are some pics to tide you over until the live show in about 2 hours.

3/12/09 7:30pm The RCC crew has arrived at the location of the 2009 Axial Midwest 2.2 Challenge. The comp courses are setup and looking awesome, this Omaha Hobbytown is very impressive!
