What are the prizes, or is it whatever y'all come up with?:joy:
Yep, one free raffle ticket for every racer, plus we were giving an extra ticket for every Chicagoland R/C Raceway T-shirt that was purchased (for $10... not sure if we have any more for sale though).
The prizes for the last race include: 6 quarts of Byrons fuel, one set of GQ racing tires and GQ rear exhaust manifold gaskets, three Protoform bodies (190mm Stratus 3.0, 200mm Mazda 6, 200mm Stratus 3.0) for sure. We have also had one grand prize for each trophy race from Airtronics... either an entire pistol grip radio (and a nice one at that, synthesized, etc.) or a top of the line Airtronics servo. We have not received the item from Airtronics yet, but it should be nice again.
We have also had Sundog sunglasses at some events, but I'm not sure if we'll have them for the final race yet (need to talk to Mr. Sundog still). And at the first race we also had some nice RC posters and T-shirts and such donated by the Chicago R/C club (http://www.chicagorc.com), but I think they are out of stuff to give away for this season.
And, we have had the Red Bull van come to most of our trophy races to hand out some free Red Bull to anyone that wanted any, which was nice.
Between the raffle prizes, the trophies (or plaques) and the extra long mains (15 minutes for lower nitro mains, 30 minute nitro A-main, and triple electric A-main format), you get your money's worth for the extra $5 on the points/trophy/raffle days.
