Hotel Update

Hi guys,

I have some good news to let everyone know about. I was contacted today by the folks at the Riviera Hotel to inform me that they will be adjusting our room rate for our event. The new rate for our group will be $59 during the week and $89 on the weekend. Still use the code IIC when making your reservations. Even though we are still about 3 months away from the event, don't wait to book your rooms. Make sure you take care of it early. All of us on the IIC Team look forward to sharing another great IIC with all of you.

Thanks, Scotty

Welcome to the 2009 IIC

Well it is hard to believe that we are arriving at our 5 year anniversary of what started out as only a dream. My dream was to bring all the best drivers in the world to the most exciting city in the US for the biggest and best on road race on the planet. We have succeeded through these 5 years working hard to offer you the racer the best experience possible of your choices of major events and this years IIC will continue to set the standard that all other races are measured against.

The 2009 IIC Presented by Jaco/SMC will again be held right in the heart of Las Vegas on the world famous STRIP! Moving back to the strip last year brought back the feeling of the first IIC that we held back at the Stardust and brought back the excitement and intimacy that makes the IIC so unique and exciting. The venue for the IIC uses over 20,000 square feet of space and allows everyone to be right next to the track where all the action is. Not only did last years move back to the strip bring back the first year feeling, it allowed us to try some new things in the schedule and planning of the event and many of those things that we tried and were a complete success will be back this year.

We surveyed many of the racers that attended the 2008 IIC and asked for some sincere input about all the aspects of the event. Out of all the things we received feed back on, the single thing that almost everyone loved and commented on was the running of the mains on Saturday! I can’t tell you how many racers expressed that they loved this and this allowed them to have a relaxed day of travel home on Sunday and not have to take another day off of work Monday. This also ties into the reason we choose to have the race after the Labor Day holiday. With the event running Sept 7-12th 2009 and Monday the 7th being Labor Day, to attend this event, you will only need to take 4 days off of work which will work out great for all of us. Another thing that was a common theme during our survey was more practice time. Everyone prefaced their comment by understanding that we have so many racers to get on the track that they understand why we run practice by heats. Well discussing this with my team during the winter, we have a plan to try and increase the track time a racer can get for practice. On Tuesday, we will run practice by class or groups of classes. Each class will have a designated practice time and we will run timed runs to move drivers on and off the track and get as many guys on the track as possible. Now this is only for Tuesday. On Wednesday, we will go back to practice via heats, this will allow us to get everyone accustom to the flow of tech inspection, flow on and off the drivers stand and allow us to do another thing that will be unique to this years IIC. We will be seeding the heats for qualifying off of practice times from Wednesday’s practice runs. Now before everyone has a heart attack. Here is how it will work. We use RCScoring Pro as the official Scoring Software for the IIC. We will be using a drivers 3 best consecutive laps during either one of their practice runs. The driver’s best 3 laps will then be used for a resort to group the same ability drivers together. Remember this is only to balance out the heats and attempt to put similar skilled drivers together. Using this 3 lap format will not put any undue pressure on the results of your practice but rather make the qualifying for the event better.

Here is what your registration fee gets you at the IIC:
  • Upon Check in, the great IIC Goodie Bag. Which consist of many great items from our sponsors totaling close to $100 in goodies.
  • Discount coupons at the Rivera for shows and souvenirs
  • Great event T shirt designed by Dusty Kemp.
  • Professional ID Badge commemorating the 2009 IIC.
  • Tuesday Drivers Meeting Buffet Dinner in the Ballroom at the top of the Riviera. This was a tremendous hit last year giving everyone a chance to relax, socialize away from the track and fill your gut with all the great food you can eat.
  • Wednesday night Sponsor Meet and Greet with more free food and Free BEER, YES FREE BEER! For those of legal drinking age of course.
  • A race venue that is second to none in the world of RC Racing located right on the Strip.
  • Tech inspection managed by Jamie Tennies who is one of the most experienced and well respected guys in the business.
  • The Staff at the IIC will bring you the best, most on time race program you have ever attended. Each day when you arrive at your pit, there will be a time table listing exactly what time your race will be on the track. If it says your in race 22 and it will start at 208pm. You can be assured it will start at that time. This allows you the racers the chance to plan your day so you don’t have to stay at the track the whole day, you can go out and win lots of money in the casino if your lucky or explore all the Las Vegas has to offer. So as you can see, your entry feel includes so much more that just the right to race in the event. You get great gifts, great food and the best event possible. And when you compare this to what other events charge, you can see that the IIC is a great deal.

We invite you to ask around and talk to racers that have attended the IIC and you will see why racers return year after year.

If you have any questions at all, please let us know and we will be happy to answer them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the IIC and let’s make it a September to Remember.

Thanks, Scotty and the IIC Team
