Cool vids there ROP. Those wiggle wagons just keep coming, but it makes the time go by faster. Looks like you have a pretty good job there, as you are doing something different quite often keeps it from getting too boring, new job new challenge as they say. Keep it up.

Looks like the wind was really whippin at the demo derby:eek:

It was...
But at least we didn't get any rain.
One year, it rained hard....all weekend.
It was one of the best demo Derby's I've ever seen!
But it's all good.
The Indio fairgrounds is.....um....
I'll just say that it's the puniest arena to do a show in.
But it's only a few blocks from where I live.
Saturday I'll be at the Imperial Co. Fair building a track.
I'm not sure what kind of show....maybe tuff trucks..
Maybe demo derby....
Just hope the weather is nice.
:cool:

I built a Demo derby track a couple years ago. We dug a trench all the way aroud and piled the dirt on the inside of the trench. WOrked good. It wqas a fun job and the promoter did a good job of promoting my business.

i noticed that alot of california truckers run single drive trucks, i thought it was because cali law, if you can legally bridge your 80000 lbs on a single axle, no matter how rough riding they are you should do it, cali doesnt recognize a third axle either, so more than a single is dead weight. in my quest to see the world outside wy i did some longhaul livestock trucking, pigs into e. la sheep out of the holtville area. alot of pride in those cali truckers trucks i noticed. great pics again rop i especially like your sign off on your vids. :thumbsup

Finished up the week doing side jobs.
This is where having a CDL really pays off.

This weekend I'm in El Centro at the Imperial Valley Agg Expo.
Building another track for some bike, truck and buggy races.
