2008 Novak All-Star Challenge

In addition to the Novak National Finals we will again be running the richest All-Star event in all of R/C the Novak All-Star Challenge.

This Special event will see the best drivers from all four BRL National divisions be invited to go head to head and compete for the lions share of a huge cash purse. Danny Bartholomew from Evansdale Iowa picked up the win last season and took home the $500 prize for his All-Star victory

This year the event will again take place on Friday and Saturday nights of the Novak National Finals weekend at the Hobbyplex Raceway in Omaha, NE. Drivers will compete in a unique qualifying format using Novak 13.5 motors. To be invited to the All Star race a driver must have WON an A-main at one of this seasons BRL Regional Events.

Friday Night: The Novak All Star Open
Driver will be evenly split into groups and draw for starting position. They will then compete in 75 lap qualifying races that will see the top finishers advance on to Saturday Nights Big Money All Star Showdown.

Saturday Night: The Novak All Star Showdown
After qualifying for the Novak National Finals is complete the All-Star Showdown will take center stage. This race will consist of Friday nights top 8 drivers competing in 3 multi-lap segments.

Segment-1: Drivers will compete in a 50 lap qualifier, with the winner receiving a cash bonus of $50. The last place finisher will be eliminated for the rest of the evening. Driver will be given a 10 minute break to preparefor the next segment. During this time the winner will draw a pill to determine the starting order inversion for segment 2.

Segment 2: This will be a 75 lap segment with the winner receiving cash bonus of $75. Once again the last place finisher will be eliminated. Drivers will be given another 10 minute break to prepare for the final segment. During this time the segment 2 winner will draw a pill to determine the starting order inversion for the final segment.

Segment 3: The final segment will be 100 laps with winner taking home a $600 pay day.

Thanks to Novak’s support The 2008 All Star Challenge purse will clime to a record $1500.

Alex,

Try changing the page size. You have it set as 17.00 x 17.00 try setting it to 8.5 x 11.00

THAT'S NOT YOUR INK PEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:freak::freak:

I agree with Wolfman, You can't change the PDF Pagesize, It still prints small.

When you print it, unselect the fit to page, or centering, or any of those options in acrobat and set the pull down menu for "page scaling' to none.
The entry form is 8.5 by 11 but the whole graphic is 17 x 17.

I sent a re-sized version to Alex today... I'm sure when he gets through with the Nats this weekend he will update the site.

Do i need to print that page out and send it through snail mail with a check made out to hobbyplex to sign up?
