LOL, I wanted to make a joke about the singles in the photo too. I love how there's one ten-spot in there. Big dolla!

I think it's great that a company is putting up money for using it's product, but the A main? It's the same 10 people every time, of which are already sponsored.

How about a contingency for non-sponsored drivers?

PeterV · #7 06-29-2006, 12:28 PM

Remember, the point is to offer cash not as a thank-you for winning, but as an enticement to buy an engine. If you win, you then become a promotional tool for Rad RC. There isn't much benefit if Rad has an ad that says "Unsponsored guy wins G-Main with Rad power!" They want to show potential customers Rad engines in the A-Main--whether the driver is sponsored or not. Rad RC isn't dissing unsponsored guys or favoring sponsored guys, they just want the engines to win races.

I think it's, it's a great idea. even though I have no chance to to win.

Thats defentately gonna boom their product. Loads of racers are gonna be going for the cash, i hope some one actually wins it.

rigrishracer22B · #10 06-29-2006, 05:44 PM

hopefully its not one of there sponsers I hope an underdog wins it (someone sponsering themselvs)

GTB_USER_ERIK · #11 06-30-2006, 09:31 PM

I totlaly agree, some Joe gets his power from the LHS and goes to the race and takes all. I can see the headline's in RCCA.

In order to get the money you have to use their engine, so sponsered drivers are out of the running unless the use their engine.

filippoan · #13 07-10-2006, 12:37 AM

It's all about getting people to try the engines. After that, the engine sells itself.

rigrishracer22B · #14 07-11-2006, 05:05 PM

anybody going to the race

rigrishracer22B · #15 07-31-2006, 05:10 PM

ok does anyone know who won

philadater · #16 08-02-2006, 05:07 AM

I do believe no one in the A,B or C was using a radical engine...

I think something like this happened with a fuel company. A top driver switched fuel just for that race (thinking white lightning?) and won the $10,000 prize. Im pretty sure I read this in rcca.

Ryan Mayfield won using a thunder tiger buggy and an os v-spec engine.

rcboy201 · #19 08-02-2006, 11:27 AM

yeah Ryan won the race but he didn't win the money, since he wasn't using radical engines
