As those of you that have been to the IIC before, you know one of the coolest things about racing with us is the SATCHEL of free stuff you get in the goodie bag. Well this year it looks like it will be the largest goodie bag we will have for you racers as our sponsors continue to support the IIC and this year we have a brand new sponsor that will be adding to the Satchel. Racers Edge RC products offers a very wide selection of products from aluminum spacers to huge hauler bags, well they have joined us as a sponsor for this years IIC and have added an awesome gift to the goodie bag. Thanks to Racers Edge each participant of the IIC will be receiving a Racers Edge Lipo Bag! These sell in stores for almost $30 dollars. Add this onto all the other great things you receive and you see that our sponsors are doing all they can to give you the racer the absolute best value and best event possible. In the coming weeks, we will feature all the great things our sponsors will be adding to the Goodie Bag.

The body rules for this year’s event have been decided and this is what we will be allowing.

Rubber Tire Touring: We will be allowing all ROAR Approved bodies for the this years event. Roar has updated body list and the current list is in affect for the entire 2008 season.

Foam Tire Touring: We will be following the new Global Body Spec rules that have been established. 2 bodies will be allowed for the event. The Parma Mohawk 2 and the Protoform R9F. Both these bodies will have markings that designate them as GBS bodies.

I have also made a decision that we will not be allowing Ultra Light bodies. We have all seen what these bodies have done to close side by side racing and I don’t think there is anyone that can say it has improved racing. So we will not be allowing these. All bodies running in the Foam classes will have to have the GBS marking which is molded into the bodies.

1/12th Divisions: will also be using Roar Approved bodies

World GT: We will be allowing the bodies listed on the rules page.

Again for the this years event, Jaco will be the official Rubber tire for the IIC. Jack and the team are busy doing testing on the new compounds of Jaco Rubberz tires and info regarding what compound we will be using will be forthcoming. One thing that is set is that this years tires will be coming on the Brand New Prism rims. If you have not seen these yet, they look awesome!

Motors for the handout classes have not been set yet, but it is getting close. The response from all the motors companies has been quite overwhelming and it is taking me a bit of time to get everything organized and finalize. Thanks for your patience.

That is about the latest and greatest right now. As always, we invite your questions and I will keep you updated as often as I can.

If you have any questions, please let us know at Boomer@intchamps.com or info@intchamps.com.

Thanks again for everyone’s support

Two new classes will debut at the 2008 IIC, the first of which is the all new and highly anticipated World GT class.

World GT is designed to be fun, fast and competitive while bringing back a more scale appearance to RC. These 1/10 scale pan cars are simple in design but don't sacrifice one ounce of performance on the track!
