Hi everyone,
This race is not just for the racers, but for the spectators and potential racers out there. Even if your not from the Welland area, you never know who is coming to the mall any given day. The track will be set up right in centre court, where traffic will be heaviest. It will be a 48'x72' track.
Whatever track or hobby shop you're from, you're all welcome and even encoraged to put up banners. The object of this race is to unite all the racers, tracks, hobby shops together to promote this hobby as a whole. This race will contain aspects of other large races and some new ideas as well. The Seaway Mall is already full backing this event with advertising in newspapers and local cable TV.
The more racers we get out to the event the better the hobby will be represented to the spectators and people just walking by in the mall. I know sometimes the big races tend to scare some people away, but this one's for the spectators and not about the names. So I don't care if you've raced one day, or 40 years, this is the race you should be at to promote the hobby. Most big races are in a hall or a hotel and are great races, but the general public never sees them. So how do we get more racers? Mall + Spectators = Interest.
We're also having a celebrity race before the mains, including the Mayor of Welland, Dale Epp of Protoform, Fred Cade owner of Best Western Cairn Croft and others. They'll be running identical Tamiya Minis and should be fun for the crowd.
So come and promote your hobby by representing your local track/club/hobby shop.
To all hobby shops, if you want to become a sponser for this event send me an e-mail. If you don't have a banner we can add your name/logo to our 20 foot banner.
I hope you see you there.
Thanks,
Mark Frechette
