Title: Re: Coimbatore RC Challenge - RC car race, 26th, 27th and 28th August 2011 Post by: Divyam on July 14, 2011, 03:59:14 PM So? Nobody races for the money. Please edit your post. :)
Title: Re: Coimbatore RC Challenge - RC car race, 26th, 27th and 28th August 2011 Post by: iamahuman on July 14, 2011, 05:10:42 PM I agree with Divyam.We don't race for money.We race for the fun.
@Rajesh:A comment like that is not a very good one.Also,avoid the usage of SMS language.Keep in mind that the organizers spend a lot of money to make all of this work.Please be appreciative of their efforts.We have no idea of the amount of work that goes into organizing an event of such magnitude......again,edit your post! Title: Re: Coimbatore RC Challenge - RC car race, 26th, 27th and 28th August 2011 Post by: J R H on July 14, 2011, 06:56:02 PM Prize money can be increased provided we get major sponsors. This is money is shelled out by the organizer apart for the expenses incurred for making a pro level track, concrete driver stand, AMB timing equipment, Working tables & chairs for drivers, organizing Logistics, Trophies etc etc.. The prize money quoted is the max we can offer and there will be no changes. Please do notice we are giving price money for fastest man on track and for the Fastest new comer..This has never been done before in any races held so far in India.. Win in all the category & set the fastest time, you will be a rich man end of the day :)
Guys thanks for the support, please help people like rajesh understand how such events are done. Im sure he will agree with us..
