Following
years of R&D and finally manufacture we are pleased to announce the
availability of Riggen HO remanufactured slot cars just as they were made in the
1970’s. To promote interest in
these cars and have some fun while doing it, Riggen HO is pleased to sponsor a
series of ‘Brass War’ races. These
races will feature the new Riggen HO cars and
will be paired with a race pitting the Riggen HO’s against the best of the
Brass Era. The first such race will
be held at NJ Nostalgia Hobby on Saturday June 25th,2005.
Racing will begin at 1 PM but the store will open at 10:30 to allow for
practice and tuning of cars. Following
the Riggen HO race there will be a ‘Brass Wars’ race pitting the best cars
from the Brass Era (ca. 1970-75). Entrants
will be allowed to enter Brass chassied Tyco Pros, Cobramites and Dynabrutes as
well as Riggen HO cars. Rules will
be posted shortly at www.geocites.com/njhobby
under race rules and on www.riggenho.com.
Entry
in the Riggen HO race will require the purchase of a new Riggen HO kit for
$39.95. This will include all stock
parts necessary to assemble a complete rolling Riggen HO chassis.
Also included in the $39.95 will be a ‘racer/blem’ Hot Rod truck body
which is the official race body, an official/collectible entry ticket into the
race and a Riggen HO t-shirt! Kits
may be purchased any time at NJ Nostalgia Hobby beginning now and up until race
time. IMPORTANT:
The number of entries will be limited so purchase your entry kit as soon
as possible. Once the race is
filled, no more kits will be sold and entries into the first race will be
closed. Winners of this race will
receive trophies and merchandise prizes. Additional
merchandise prizes will be give away all afternoon during the race.
The Brass Wars race will be open to all those having a race spec car (see
above and Brass War rules), entry for this race is $5.00 and ribbons and prizes
will be awarded. There will be separate prizes for the best styling and
decorating of your stock Hot Rod Truck Body.
Bodies may be stripped and repainted if desired.
The
track will open for racers at 12 noon and those wishing to rent time earlier may
do so. We expect the races to be
done by 6PM but we will remain open as needed.
Thanks and Hope to see you here. Joe
