Take your place in the Winner’s Circle at the 2nd Annual Futaba Electric Challenge! This exciting two-day competition will take place on August 20 & 21, at the RJD Raceway in Lincoln, Illinois. And the best part of it is that you’ll enjoy two jam-packed days of racing and two challenging layouts — all for the price of just one entry fee!*

Here’s the way it works: You’ll race on Layout #1 on Saturday, and Layout #2 on Sunday. The points you earn on Saturday will be carried over and added to the points you earn on Sunday to determine your final standing.

The best drivers will win cash and merchandise prizes, but all pre-registered drivers will take home a free event T-shirt and goody bag
— and TQs will also receive a special custom award.

Pro Class "Dash For Cash".
The top 5 qualifiers in the Pro Buggy class will run a 6-lap race to determine their order on the starting grid for the first A Main. The TQ will start 5th, the 5th place qualifier will start on the pole — and the winner will get pole position in the A Main and 100% of the proceeds from raffle ticket sales!

But there’s a wild card: there won’t be any track marshals during the race. So drive carefully, because if you crash, you’re done in the Dash!

And for a "Saturday Night Special!"

The 15-Truck Team Short Course Enduro
This event is open to all 2WD and 4WD short course trucks and the entry fee is just $10.00. The field will be limited to 15 trucks and entries are on a "first come, first serve" basis. If you want in, you’d better sign up early! Starting position will be determined by pulling numbers out of a hat; you get the luck of the draw. The enduro will last 30 minutes, during which time teams will be required to make one battery change and one driver change. First prize for the winner is all fifteen entry fees — $150.00!

All TQs ...
will take home a special, custom award!

"Tough Luck" Award.
The last qualifier in each class will receive a 1-year subscription to RC Car Action Magazine.

Trophies!
Trophies will be awarded to the top six finishers in the B Mains — and everyone who finishes in A Mains!
