Billscustomrclighting.com donated some light sets for the comp. These are great (VERY bright) light sets. 1 set is headlights/taillights 1 is 6 headlights (would be great for headlights/rollbars and the other is 4 headlights and 2 tailights.

1 set of lights will go to the winner of scale class... the rest will go to????? (lets just say you might be able to break and still win)

I vote for one with a real truck on it :mrgreen: Actually, if you could animate it like Javier did on the SCRC logo, it might look better (otherwise I say black and white)

This photo wouldn't look right, there's too much detail etc.

How many have registered so far looking forward to this event see you there

 

[rockextreme]

pre reg

not as many as I would have thought?? there are only about 11 pre registered, but I know we had 18 guys at the set up day??? and I know Ive had about 35 PMs letting me know that people are coming?? there is a crap load of spectators emailing for address since I put it on the local radio station/forum Im thinking people may just think its hard to get preregistered????? On another note the looks like we are may acually get the pole shed up so we have a back course area in case of rain..

 

[jetboat]

Im going to bring up preregistration at the comp today. I know we have at least 10 people that were planning to come and I think only 3-4 registered. I think some people prefer to wait until the day of the comp, just in case they cant make it.

AND ITS NOT GOING TO RAIN!

 

[jetboat]

Last day to preregister... Save yourself some money and preregister and get a free shirt plus be in a special drawing. Even if you can make it 1 day only or if you think your not comp ready you should try to make it to the spectacle. Lots of prizes etc for registered entrants.
