TGN, LSN and Turtle Racing – 2011 Chicago RCX

We are happy to announce that Turtle Racing will be joining TGN in their booth at RCX 2011. Turtle Racing will be showing off their entire product line as well as giving you a chance to see their OBR twin in person. TGN will have their shelf queen HPI Baja 5sc that was in the HPI booth at RCX Pomona as well as the crazy modified CustomStreetToyz 60cc VW. If your in the area and plan to attend and want to save $5 go HERE.

LSN will be covering this event LIVE. Updating our photo album HERE.

This is only a ONE DAY event, so watch this page on Saturday August 6thfor live updates and a wrap up post later in the following week.

New images are loaded at the top of the page.

10:00pm- Well the show is over now and myself, Turtle Racing and many other vendors I have talked to feel like it was a great show. This was the first time RCX has ventured out of California and I think they did a great job. It was also the first time they have tried a one day show as well and I believe it worked. Maybe as the show get’s bigger it could handle 2 days but for the first year I believe it was the right thing for them to do. Job well done RCX!

Next week I will try to come up with a RCX Chicago Wrap UP Post but for now please take a look at our 150+ images HERE.

Couple more from our album:

11:00am- As always, internet has been terrible in this building and the surrounding areas. The show coordinators have just connected my laptop so I will start uploading to our smugmug album now. Show is going GREAT! Lot’s of people here!

 

 

9:00pm – Dinner with TeamTurtle at Kuma’s Corner in Chicago. Man that little place can whoop up a burger!   6:00pm – Snuck a shot of all of the great prizes being given away for the World Motor Sports Breast Cancer Foundation donations. Great job Dave! 5:00pm – Does anyone know what the below image is? What’s in it? It’s something ALL NEW at TGN. See more tomorrow. 4:30pm – TGN getting out the show rigs. Locked up for the night so dont try to break into the center. HAHA. 4:30pm – Got to Chicago and the RCX location is REALLY cool. It’s different than what you may expect but man it’s packed with all kinds of cool stuff. You should really be able to spend a better part of the day just looking and watching all the product and demos here. I am excited to see how this turns out. Here is Turtle getting set up this afternoon. He has a couple hot rods with him. 10:30am – Landed in Denver and had to sit on tarmac for 40+ minutes which made us miss our connecting flight, got another flight an hour later so we got lucky. 5:00AM – Left Fresno this early this morning HHHMMMMM What to bring to Chicago….???? I can never carry all this on the plane so I have to decide what I need most…
