2006 TEXAS NITRO INVITATIONALS


"Just what is the Nitro Invitational and how do I get invited ?" is the question I hear
all the time. The Race series was developed by a group of RC racers that wanted to
bring the excitement of a National Event locally and give racers across the state of
Texas a chance to meet and compete with each other. Five different tracks were picked
and races were scheduled with time allowed between them so guys could save up some
travel'n money
. Thats the story and I'm stickin to it.

Do you race Off-road Nitro?? Then you are invited to attend one or all five of the events.
Two days of extreme racing action, Three qualifiers on Saturdays, followed by a bbq
provided by the host group, come Sunday morning you have one more chance to improve
how you qualified and then its the Main Events. Maybe your new to RC Nitro racing,
thats ok, because there is a Sportsman Class in both the Gas Truck and 8th Scale Buggy
or run with the Big Boys and sign up for the Expert Class. This year we added the Monster
Truck class too!

So come on out and have fun at the 6th Annual 2006 TEXAS NITRO INVITATIONALS.

*** New for 2006 Texas Nitro Invitationals ***
1>Point series 'Best 3 out of 5' races.
2> CITY POINTS > sign-up and list the city/track you want to represent from the 5 host tracks. Points will be totaled from all racers in all classes. Winning host track get thier name engraved on the trophy and gets 'Braggin' rights.
