New Sports League Races Into Southern California
- Fans Have Chance to Compete in XMODS Racing League National Tournament and
Race Against Kevin Hartman, Star Goalie for the Los Angeles Galaxy -
WHAT: This weekend, RadioShack
is bringing the XMODS
Stop.Drop.Race! tour to Southern California, giving thousands
of die-hard car enthusiasts and radio control (RC) car racers
the chance to participate in tons of free activities and the
first ever XMODS Racing League (XRL) National Tournament. Set
amidst the excitement of the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa,
fans are invited to compete for the chance to be crowned
America's first-ever XRL National Champion and the ultimate
grand prize -- a super modified Acura NSX. Kevin Hartman, star
goalie for the Los Angeles Galaxy, will put his skills to the
test racing XMODS with fans at the event.
The 2004 XRL National Tournament pits hundreds of Southern
California's most skilled RC racers in a competition where the
top 16 racers on the leader board after round one will race in
the regional finals. The Regional Champion will advance to
represent Southern California at the 2004 XRL National
Championship in Atlanta in September, and battle against the
nation's best RC racers for the coveted title of America's 2004
XMODS Racing League National Champion. The cost to enter is
$25, and those interested can register online at
http://www.xmodsrc.com/ or onsite at the event.
In addition to the 2004 XRL National Tournament, the XMODS
Stop.Drop.Race! tour offers endless entertainment and the
chance to win other awesome prizes within the dynamic 75' x 75'
exhibit. Attendees can try out different modifications at the
Pro Demo Area, add some style to their car at the Custom
Graphics Station, play video games and listen to music in the
Interactive Media Center or test drive tour-provided XMODS in
continuous 3-minute timed races on the Road Course. Fans can
also bring their own tricked-out XMODS Custom RC cars and enter
