I recently attended the King of the Hill rock crawling event near Florette Alabama, not too far south of Huntsville. As August days go it was beautiful. I’m not even sure it hit 80. The skys were clear and the crowd was into it. It had rained the day before so the track was slick at first but dried out later in the day. Many thanks to Jake White and the Rocket City Rock Crawlers for letting me shoot inside the danger zone. There is more danger in getting squished between a crawler and a tree, but if you stay on the right side of the tree, you’ll do fine, and the shooting is definitely better. I saw that some of the spotters came closer than i did to getting squeezed. I even shot a few videos with my little Nikon pocket camera. The racing was close, only a few seconds separating the top spots. There were a couple of rollovers and even a young lady that showed some of the big boys how it’s done. The crowd was pumped and showed their appreciation for a great day of racing.
