The RC course is awesome. You guys did an incrediable job. Watching the kids just flat gas it and drive over the top of the course and ramp off i to the next booth was hilarious. I know yall didnt enjoy it as much as I did.

M&M fab the triple threat buggy is an awesome buggy. Top notch great craftsmanship.

RC race course was nuts to watch! Some skilled little drivers not afraid of the ole throttle!

Seemed like a great turn out of vendors and folks there to watch etc. race course was an interesting mixture, but fun to watch! Disappointed in no backflip attempt today though!

Totally worth the drive and hope it gets bigger each year! Will post pictures later.
 
I took my two sons and we had a blast. My oldest son has never been crazy about the sport, but after this event he is very fired up. He is now fired up about finishing his Zuki/Toyota buggy. We really enjoyed the ultra 4 racing. Wow, I had no idea how much technology is in those buggies. Hell, we came home with 3 flat brim monster energy caps hoping we would be a little more like Shannon Campbell!! It was a great event and I will go next year, but I will stay the night so we can watch all the racing.
 
Successful Inaugural 2014 Unlimited Off-Road American Show & Expo

LOUISVILLE, KY JUNE 24, 2014: The first annual Unlimited Off-Road American Show & Expo fulfilled its tagline 'East Goes Epic'. It was extremely successful in the eyes of the enthusiasts there to enjoy, exhibitors who were able to show and sell their products, and racers who threw dirt demonstrating their extreme off-road machines capabilities. Offroad and powersports vehicles of all sorts filled the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, KY Friday through Sunday June 20-22. "We can't be more excited about the overall feel of the show. As a first time event, we won't lie and say we weren't nervous," said Erin Freeman, Expo Coordinator. "The response from everyone has been overwhelming and we look forward to growing into an even bigger event for next year."

Some of the features of this inaugural show included:

The outside exhibition racing consisted of two qualifying runs where the same series vehicles competed against each other for the fastest time. The fastest out of each qualifier went onto the finals. The final was a unique combination of four types of vehicles working together as a relay team for fastest time. On Saturday the fastest time was split by a mere 8 seconds, which at the time was impressive until Sunday's time was split by only 1 second. On Saturday Team 2 were the winners with a time of 239.467 consisting of Mega Truck Series John Gordon, Southern Rock Racing Series CJ Bynum, Ultra4 Racing Tony "Rosco" Rietdorf and SXS Racer Trenton Parks. Sunday's winner was Team 1 by less than a second. The team consisted of Mega Truck Series John Gordon, Southern Rock Racing Series Bobby Tanner, Ultra4 Racing Bill Baird and SXS Racer Brit Mansel.
