This is one area I think many might be disappointed with.

While I was lucky enough to win Novak Solder and Losi Comp Claws...many were shafted.

They kept redrawing numbers on prizes...not draw a number and keep it with that prize for the entire weekend for the winner. So you could have won but like a good comper you are waiting in line and missed a prize.

They also sold raffle tickets on the LCQ day...WTF? Before all the people who paid $95+ to run even got a prize.

Why not list it all? The vendors donated those prizes to be given away to the competitors, I am sure they love to know who got what.

The raffle tickets were supposed to be in the registration bags, but many people didnt get them. I dont recall seeing anyone with a big prize, but I only checked maybe 3 times because I was judging. The judges were SOL, since we couldn't check the winning numbers and the numbers were changed every hour or so. I did win a novak T-shirt however, and the Novak solder and Proline Foams in the goodie bags were cool. Thanks Sponsors!

I heard from a friend that heard from another friend that someone I may or may not know might have won a set of Losi comp claws. I saw a lot of prizes left over by the end of the day, where did those go?

NOTA for me. :-( i dont get why all other tints were up on the hill with us and the prize tint was at the bottom of the hill. it was like they didn't want any one to claim a prize. :? just my thought.

You could buy tickets?!?

With the rate they cycled the numbers on the board, all you'd have to do is stand there with $100 worth and get everything.

:(

yup i went down to the tent every hour and walked away with i would guess over 1500$ in winnings.

i did take advantage of no one buying tickets thats why i won and the fact that they changed the numbers every hour while kindof not fair to the rest of the people helped me out lol
