New Sports League Races Into Sonoma
- Fans Have a Chance to Compete in XMODS Racing League National Tournament -
WHAT: This weekend, RadioShack
is bringing the XMODS
Stop.Drop.Race! tour to Sonoma, giving thousands of die-hard
car enthusiasts and radio control (RC) car racers the chance to
participate in tons of free activities and the first ever XMODS
Racing League (XRL) National Tournament. Set amidst the
excitement of the 17th Annual FRAM-Autolite NHRA Nationals at
the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, fans are invited to compete for
the chance to be crowned America's first-ever XRL National
Champion and the ultimate grand prize -- a super-modified Acura
NSX.
The 2004 XRL National Tournament pits hundreds of Sonoma's most
skilled RC racers in a competition where the top 16 racers on
the leader board after round one will race in the regional
finals. The Regional Champion will advance to represent Sonoma
at the 2004 XRL National Championship in Atlanta in September,
and battle against the nation's best RC racers for the coveted
title of America's 2004 XMODS Racing League National Champion.
The cost to enter is $25, and those interested can register
online at http://www.xmodsrc.com/ or onsite at the event.
In addition to the 2004 XRL National Tournament, the XMODS
Stop.Drop.Race! tour offers endless entertainment and the
chance to win other awesome prizes within the dynamic 75' x 75'
exhibit. Attendees can try out different modifications at the
Pro Demo Area, add some style to their car at the Custom
Graphics Station, play video games and listen to music in the
Interactive Media Center or test drive tour-provided XMODS in
continuous 3-minute timed races on the Road Course. Fans can
