A guy I used to work with told me about a forklift rodeo he participated in. A bunch of guys would gather in a large warehouse with a several forklifts and compete for some prize. (I don't know what the prize was...) There are your standard races, as well as special events like racing full speed at a pallette with a cup of water on it. The person who could pick up the pallette while spilling the least amount of water won the event.

I've always been fascinated by this, partly because I used to drive a forklift as part of my job. Anyone out there know anything more about these events?

I'll send some e-mail to someone I know. She trains Operating Engineers in Montana, and they have a yearly "rodeo" with all kinds of these events. I'll get back to you.
