EDITED - 1-6-08 - NOTE the event has been moved to March 14th to allow for Jason and Team to provide Live Event coverage.
The 2008 Midwest 2.2 Indoor Challenge was touted the best indoor comp yet, however due to the growing need for larger facilities, Omaha, Nebraska has become the new site for this year's 2009 Axial Midwest 2.2 Indoor Challenge hosted by the NSCA (Nebraska Scale Crawlers Association).
This year we have the HUGE indoor Hobby Town Hobby Plex facility (www.hobbyplexraceway.com ) which hosts national level events up to 300 competitors. The HobbyPlex is complete with everything needed for our exponentially growing crawling competition, so if all goes well perhaps more and larger events will follow. Lodging and food is all near by with hundreds of hotels and restaurants within minutes of the facility.
As a result of our expanded space, we will expand the previous 75 entrants to a total of 100 competitors between Amateur and Pro classes and provide non-stop crawling via a Free Crawl format.
The carpet track barriers get pulled up and we will start building. We will be bringing in truckloads of rock and do out best to convert the indoor carpet track to a minimum of three brutal rock crawling courses from hell that will definitely test both rig and driver to the max. Some of the KCRC club members are even helping out to assure consistency from last year to this year and have definitely provided some valuable guidance from lessons learned previously.
It should be noted that Harley (Josh) from KCRC has been a huge help so far. One of the event challenges last year was the lack of funding which actually put KCRC financially in the hole last year. This of course makes it tough to continue to host and expand these events and competitions. We know the $50 entry fee this year is a long jump up from $25 last year, however I am sure everyone understands the costs for an event like this are significant and these cost must be covered.
Top Three in Pro and Amateur classes are guaranteed prizes. All competitors will receive 2.2 Crawler Challenge T-Shirts.
