Having a great story to tell for the rest of my R/C life: Expensive

But nah! I'm going to say no over the extra $30 to enter.
Funny! Yes it does cost to participate in this race but we do get what we pay for.

This will be my first IIC. I however did race in his last three RROCs (his last 2 in Sacramento and the last one at Tamiya Facility in Aliso Viejo) with Scotty and the team. With that said, I feel Scotty is the best in the business. I know I will get my money's worth at IIC for my racing. A week of practice qualifing and racing. Plus a motor, 2 sets of tires, a dinner, a nice T-shirt, tire traction, and a few extras. If that isn't enough, I still get to hang with friends and a chance to make some new ones. How much better can this get. This is simply awesome.

Scotty, keep up the great work. I for one will appreciate a week in A/C with out breaking into a sweat regardless how bad my driving may be.

Thanks to Scotty Ernst Productions for a fine race.
