JFD at Locate from Hell

Jim Driscoll competing (and winning) at the 2008 International Locate Rodeo, Locate from Hell event. This event is organized the Georgia Utilities Protection Center. This is the 7th Annual event and it was held on the campus of Emory University.

Jim used the ultimate locate weapon, the Metrotech i5000 Locator to score a near perfect 999 / 1000 points, locating the target within 1" and completing the event in 1 minute 7 seconds (1:07).

Jim won $1000 from the Locate Rodeo and a $500 bonus from Metrotech.

@locatorknowsbest AMEN! You know they're not real locators because they're actually at this event. The real locators are out doing their job. These are probably all the douchebag supervisors and "Lead" techs that get away with murder and stab all the other guys in the back. I hate this fucking line of work. I had to quit so I wouldn't beat the living hell out of the shitty lead tech. GO BACK TO SCHOOL LOCATORS! THIS IS A DEAD END "CAREER!" ONLY THE LIARS AND SHITBAGS GET PROMOTED OR GET RAISES

@KobeSpawn I would start trying to tell contractors that it's all privately owned and that the university is responsible for locating it.

@haffoxtrot Amen! This is a shit job designed to fuck the underdogs in the ass.

[sonsofmosiah]

How ironic that this event is held at an institution of higher learning.

Come to IL. Had a area that would have 40 tickets normally and was able to clear out 30 of them due to only locating tv and was mostly on poles.
