Radio Control Cars Return to Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 25 ? Small Scale Racing Brings Big Smiles to Drivers and Fans
IRL IndyCar Series drivers will take the controls and face off for fans on May 25 in the second annual RC Driver Indy Challenge, a unique radio control car showcase and celebrity race event sponsored by RC Driver magazine at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on 500 Festival Community Day. RC Driver will construct a special oval track in the Speedway's Pagoda Plaza and fill it with a full day's worth of radio control action for Indianapolis 500 racers and fans. An on-line auction paired with the event will benefit Indianapolis' Riley Children's Hospital. Participating celebrity drivers will autograph the cars used in the event for the benefit auction. In addition to celebrity driver racing, plenty of interactive radio control car entertainment will be available for visitors throughout the day.
Young racing fans will participate in hands-on "try-me" sessions featuring the latest entry-level RC cars and expert demonstrations by RC Driver's editors will showcase a variety of radio control vehicles from huge gas-powered monster trucks to sleek electric sedans. "This event was inspired by our discovery that many IRL drivers enjoy tuning and racing radio control cars in their leisure time," says RC Driver's Executive Editor, Greg Vogel, "Since RC racing is a popular hobby among both drivers and motorsports fans, we created this event to bring fans closer to the drivers and to the excitement of racing.
Particularly for the younger fans and families, radio control cars provide a great hands-on racing experience." "The response to our first Indy Challenge was very positive and we are really looking forward to bringing this event back for another year. The best part is seeing the smiles on the faces of everyone who participates, from the children having their first experience with a radio control car to the professional racers enjoying some lighthearted competition in the run up to the Indianapolis 500. You just know everyone is having a great time"
The RC Driver oval will be up and running from 9:00am through 6:00pm on May 25 in the Pagoda Plaza.
"Try-me" sessions and demonstrations will take place throughout the day. IRL Indy Car Series drivers will participate in short radio control car races throughout the day with a final championship race taking place late in the afternoon. Vehicles will be provided by Tamiya USA for the event.RC Driver magazine is published by Maplegate Media Group in Ridgefield, Connecticut. The magazine combines expert product reviews and technical information with lifestyle features that illustrate the relevance of radio control cars to mainstream cultural trends. RC Driver has also produced radio control car events at the United States Grand Prix Pit Walkabout and Brickyard 400 Qualification Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

3 Hot Sports Cars
The muscle car era of old is long gone, but in its place are a pack of "modern marvels" that can tear up any track! The Mercedes SLR McLaren, Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, and the Nissan Z350, are all hot performers in their own right. The first two will cost you a mint, the Nissan is more in reach. Time to compare the models and let your imagination run wild.I believe it is the Kia Rio that retails for just under 10K. If you were to buy 45 Rios you would just begin to match the price of the Mercedes SLR McLaren. With an MSRP of $452,750, even a Bentley becomes a bargain.
It is quite likely, however, if you can afford this car you'll not be worrying about price. Instead, the V8 engine pushes out 671 horses, 208 mph top speed, and 3.8 seconds of zero to 60 acceleration...certain to excite you. If that is not enough, try gull wing doors, bi-Xenon headlamps, sidepipe exhaust, turbine wheels, carbon fiber bucket seats covered in leather, a 7 speaker Bose sound system, and lots more....

(ContentDesk) November 1, 2005 -- Car Dealer Marketing announced the launch of The Used Car Sellution", an innovative, proprietary online marketing program for Internet-savvy auto dealers that drives pre-qualified used vehicle buyers directly to the inventory department on a dealer's own web site.
The Used Car Sellution" is being used by Asbury Automotive, the fifth largest mega-dealership group in the country, for its Crown Automotive subsidiary and two of its dealerships in North Carolina and one in Virginia.
