__________________
We are changing things up a little from previous races at RCX. We will no longer be in the Hall. There is too much noise and nitro burning exhaust in the hall and we decided to move things outdoors, in the fresh air and more quiet atmosphere. We will set up overhead tents for the pit area and try and set up the track in a shaded area near the entrance to the hall and other outdoor activities.
There will be a small drivers fee. The drivers fee will include free entrance
passes for the drivers to the two day RCX show. We may be able to provide entrance passes to family members of the drivers. We are still negotiating the family passes and will notify you with more details shortly.
SPONSORSHIP
If you are an RC company, person or store that makes or sells RC products and would like to help out with the event, there are sponsorship opportunities available. In exchange for donating product for give-a-ways at the track or cash donations to help out with trophies, we will provide you with banner space at the track and facilitate the handing out of promotional fliers or documents you provide us prior to the show. There are approximately 15,000 - 18,000 people who attend the show, so it is a good opportunity to promote your business or products to those who may not have the chance to see them online.
If you would like to participate in sponsorship, contact me at tracksales@sbcglobal.net.
Current Sponsors:
PN Racing

Awesome. Chatted with Philip about this last week. Glad you could make it happen. I think we'll get a lot more traffic between the buildings.

This will be an awesome event, we're caravaning down there with a about a dozen or so people. The more the merrier, we're leaving out of San Jose, CA you can contact me if you would like to meet up at the same time.
We are also staying at the Sheraton Fairplex Hotel next to the convention center.
We're having a RCX kick off race at the shop the following Thursday before we leave on Friday.
Who else is going?

LOL! I know, I know. Tough call. I've actually been wanting to go to RCX for a few years though and now that I'm into Mini-Z I have an even bigger reason to go.
Stupid wedding.
Brutal...

Working on the track layout this weekend. I have some ideas that may include small elevation changes, bank turns and possibly a small bridge. Will let you know what I came up with. I want the track to be fun and different than previous events, without affecting the performance of the cars in a negative way.
Any input or ideas are welcome.

Bridge! Not only will a single crossover equalize left-right tire wear, it'll look very cool.
Best part for me though is that you picked dates I can actually come out to play! Looking forward to racing with everyone, for sure!

Philip from PN Racing will be posting up the classes, rules and sign up information this week. I believe there is more than 2 classes.

Do you mean that you would like more classes? That's a fair opinion, but keep in mind that this is a race and an exhibition with other chassis (Losi 1/24). To be honest, one of my pet peeves has been the proliferation of classes in Mini-Z racing. You end up with 6 oddball classes with 5 guys in each and no one races with each other... We've seen a trend lately to simplify the class structure to promote better racing. Keep in mind, I LOVE the oddball classes (F1, and "Skinny Mini"). Honestly, I think 2 Mini-Z classes will keep the the fields deep and the racing good in my opinion.
That being said, my travel schedule has FINALLY calmed down, and I will be going to RCX! woohoo! I'll be calling most of the races, so if you get nervous on the drivers' stand, bring earplugs!

Yes more would be preferred by my son and I. Originally it was posted Stock and Losi class.
But a mod and pan class would be great.
This would be our first RCX race. So we dont know what it will be like since its during the expo.
