2009 RCX Show – Coverage of the Radio Controlled Expo in Pomona California

I have no problem being referred to, or even referring to myself as a car geek. It’s a title I wear with pride. I recently discovered just how big a car geek I am by attending the annual RCX show held at the LA County Fairgrounds in Pomona California. Billed as the wildest radio controlled expo in the world I brushed up on my scale knowledge and headed to the show.

This is supposed to be the biggest show on the West Coast, which made us think it was going to be huge. Perhaps we are jaded from shows like SEMA and CES for full-scale cars, but we found this rather disappointing. SEMA takes a week to fully explore; RCX took about two hours, not counting the flying demos and some racing.
