September 18 2011: Des Moines Discovery

For those of you who are interested in radio controlled activities as much as I am, you know what I mean when I say how excited I am to have found this RC track at Hobby Haven! I traveled to the hobby shop in Des Moines hoping to try out the motocross style track, but my hopes were bashed to find puddles and mud where I had hoped to drive my rc car... But to my surprise, one of the hobby shop employees informed me that there is actually another rc track in Southridge Mall, which is not far from the shop! So I went to that one and I was lucky to drop in on some racing action. The funny part is that this is like a really nice mall-you round a corner expecting to see another nice shop and you see a full blown indoor track! I was blown away. Hobbyists in this area are determined to have their fun rain or shine! Check out the video after the break. 

The driver of this here 1/8th 4wd drive buggy was pretty impressive especially considering the fact that he was probably 10 or so years old!
