I did the whole MWNX series last year. It was fun. This year I think it'll be even better.

[Casketman]

From what I see,only two of these races are locked in so far.

MWNX Round 1 - April 22nd @ Leisure Hours (Sunday)*tentative*
MWNX Round 2 - May 19th @ Thunder RC (Saturday)*LOCKED IN*
MWNX Round 4 - June 16th @ Dirt Dawgs (Saturday)*tentative*
MWNX Round 4 - July 21st @ Nitro Farm (Saturday)*LOCKED IN*
MWNX Round 5 - Aug 25 @ Rock Pile (Saturday)*tentative*
MWNX Round 6 - Sept 22nd @ Bristol RC (Saturday)*tentative*

So it could change.

Are these all one day events Bruce?

[kanai kid]

yes they are only 1 day events. the series is actually a lot of fun. they try and hit different tracks. last year, at the banquet, they had raffled off a CRT truggy. you did not buy tickets, you were entered into the raffle for the number of events that you went to. hope that makes sense.

[chickenfarmer3]

i'm all over that....

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Bruce,

How was the payoff at the end of that series for you? I saw the results at their site....it looks like making 7 or more of the events (last year) was required to "be in the money".

[satoch]

I got a nice trophy and a $10 bill. So it wasn't like NASCAR but it paid for gas to the banquet. lol

Hey guys, yes, sorry the ezboards have been closed down, in exchange for some more user friendly message boards in which I have complete admin rights so I can handle password duties in a more timely fashion.

Let me try to clear up a few things.

Just go to the main website ( www.mwnx.com ) and there is a link there to the message boards and to the "TENTATIVE" race schedule.

There are only a couple "locked in" dates...buty we are getting progress every couple of days Be sure to check the official calendar of events ( on the Midwest Nitrocross website ) before making plans to race.

Bristol has made a significant improvement in the last year...I'm now acting as the race director, and we've got a new computer, new software ( RC Scoring Pro ) and last summer we had it all ironed out by the end of the summer, so if you haven't been there since 2005...it's time to give it a try again.

As far as the 2007 Midwest Nitrocross payouts...there will be trophies again for 1st-3rd in four classes ( 8th Buggy, 8th Truck, Monster Truck, 10th Truck ) Prizes are coming together...but the big deal is His And Hers Hobbies is putting up $100 in certificates at each and every race this year. Also, we will be running a 50/50 raffle at every round, with the proceeds going directly to the cash purse at the end of the year. More details to come about that.

I'll have more info later when I get home from work.

Sounds cool, thanks for the info!!

[GWPHOENIX]

i'll do the prepay plan

[mfanke19]

Here is all the info:

Midwest Nitrocross is planning it’s 2nd year of Off Road Nitro Series racing for Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois! Our inaugural series in 2006 saw just under 200 entries…everybody racing for their share of over $1,000 in prizes, including trophies, car kits, and cold hard cash! 2007 is shaping up to be even bigger and better. Four nitro classes ( 8th Scale Buggy, 8th Scale Truck, Monster Truck, 10th Scale Truck ) will compete at six tracks, carefully being planned over the course of the summer. His And Hers Hobbies in Kenosha is returning as our series sponsor and this year they are putting up $100 in gift certificates at each and every race, as well as hosting the banquet for the 2nd year in a row! We have more great sponsors signing on every week, so go to www.mwnx.com to get the most up to date race schedule and to discuss the series on our message boards with the guys that ran and made last year so successful.

Below is what I’m going to call an “approximate estimated race schedule”, as exact dates are slowly trickling in. I will forward the schedule as it progresses and race time get’s closer. You'll notice that I also included the RCKhaos and RC Pro Wisconsin State Series races...there's alot of stuff going on this year!

Wisconsin RC Pro Series first three rounds are yet to be determined.

I am open to suggestions in regards to an additional Illinois location…as a seventh round…we would add that race into the series somehow. So if you know of a track located in Illinois, that is within a 1.5 hour drive of the WI/IL state line, and you have raced there and you can recommend the facility, please go to the following link and make a post there with the track name, contact info, etc.
