I believe then plan I outlined above, and discussed with John can be executed on the current timelime. While I don't have as much experience as stacking rocks in a warehouse as Aaron or Rocked up Ricky. I do unfortunately have experience in cleaning up flooded warehouses and basements, building ponds and artificial creek & stream which means I have dealt with lots of dirty rocks, and dirty water.

IMO the #1 thing to do is NOT HAVE THE ROCK SITTING ON DIRT....any clean up will be 10x harder with it present.

I am planning on building some test models to TEST/PROVE/DEMONSTRATE my theories

The biggest issue with cleaning the rocks indoors is that we need to take care as to not get mud in the floor drains. In 2010, there was a sizeable charge for cleaning of the drains.

Hey John, I am only an hour from the Farmshow complex. If there is anything I can do to help out give me a hollar.

For us crawlers it's all about the rocks, and some clean rocks is all Motorama is missing.

Judges test is optional and is only a learning tool. Sorry you had trouble with a judge. But the only thing i can say is - If we actually had more people who knew the rules that would stand up and volunteer to judge, we may not hear about as many mistakes...


Ohh wait, yes we would...we are human and make mistakes and you can't make everyone happy anyway
