I hope to make this one as well, as the I-Hobby EXPO is the one I'm most familiar with. That is where I met Mark from tgn for the first time, about 4 years ago. Can't wait to see what RCX looks like in a different location !

We are also very excited about this show in Chicago. This is the 1st time that Baja Modifiers has been a sponsor at this type of venue. We will have a large booth there that our trailer will be set up at and also have some goodies for some lucky attendees. I have been talking with RCX for several months and it looks like we might be able to have some time on a track to demo what the Baja’s can do for all of the guys out there that have not seen them before. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the show…

They also have some for women but they havn't told me yet which style they are going to print. All proceeds from the selling of these shirts goes directly into the World Motorsports Breast Cancer Foundation.
