National Results
- Thread starter KGL
- Start date
I am sure it will take a couple days for them to unwind and get everything posted. what a great event looked like tons of fun. Looking forward to seeing the results , i have a feeling that my daughters car just missed the finals . She wants to go next year in person. can anyone who has been there let me know about what is around the area to do while planning a weekend trip ??
Since I live in Omaha, I feel obligated to represent.
If you are only here for a weekend and enjoy zoos, the Henry Dorley Zoo is a must see. It trades best in the nation yearly with San Diego depending on who opens a new exibit.
The children's museum is great for kids 3rd grade and under.
If you are interest in military planes, there is a large indoor "Air and Space" museum 15 minutes south of MA venue. They have flight simulators and other cool stuff for kids to do.
Just across the highway from the air and space museum, the zoo has a "wildlife safari" where you drive through spaces with animals like elk and buffalo and an area in the middle where you can get out and there is a petting zoo.
There is a recently built outlet mall with excellent stores like Underarmor, Polo, Micheal Kors (wife would appreciate last one) in the way from MA venue to the air and space museum. Lots of places to eat too.
Just 3 miles from the MA venue and hotels is the Kansas City Royals minor league AAA baseball team. They have a modern stadium with tons of stuff for kids to do--oh, and they also play excellent baseball.
Some people enjoy going to down town Omaha and visiting the "Old Market" with lots of local stores and excellent restaurants.
If you are a foodie, let me know and I will hook you up. Omaha has lots to offer besides excellent steak.
"And so ends this segment of Omaha – it's more than just a place to hold the pinewood nationals."

I will pass on seeing the next crop of young players the Royals are bringing up
Still havent gotten over familia and murphy giving away a world series
But that sounds like a great little bit of stuff to do for a nice 4 day weekend. I sincerely appreciate the input
The zoo is very fun, the kids love it, so do I! Very reasonable tickets, they don't kill you like Disney
Results for 2016 are now posted on the mid-america site, but some of the links, in particular the pro races, are pointing to the results from 2015.
BRR - I just informed Greg Dawes the same and he does not have the results of the 2016 Pros races yet. We gotta wait for John to send them to him.
