Although nothing is set in stone yet, I wanted to make sure I kept the forum updated with current information.

Location:
It looks like we'll hold the event in NY, most likely at Barnstormers. As the first event of it's type, it will be best/easiest on Mike to have it on familiar ground. Pending a successful outcome, repeating the event in a different location is not out of the question.

Audience:
This event will likely be open to the public, to increase participation and visibility into electric/brushless technology as we use it. We, of course, would like for every active RC-Monster.com member to show up!
By going "public" with the event, we'll also be able to advertise and hopefully draw a big crowd and, perhaps, some magazine coverage. If you folks know anyone at any R/C publication, let myself or Mike know if we can contact that person.

Agenda:
Still very much up-in-the-air, but a few items will be: racing, Best of Show type of competition, possibly a long jump contest, and speed record contest. We're sure to have some grills going with BBQ as well as snack food and beverages.
We expect to have some door prizes and raffle items. We will also be giving awards of some type to event winners.

Requirements:
ELECTRIC vehicles ONLY , BRUSHLESS preferred :)
Nitro vehicles will NOT be run at this event. We really want to showcase where we are with electric vehicles today.
Off-road only. There is no expectation of running on-road vehicles. Assuming the venue is Barnstormers, there is no on-road facility.
There may be an entrance fee for the event and, if there is one, RC-Monster.com members are sure to get a substantial discount :)

Date:
No confirmed date, but we can expect towards the end of August...maybe the last weekend in August.

We're hoping to have most of the above finalized in the next couple weeks, and I'll keep updating here.
