All entries must be submitted using the template below. They can be dropped off at the shop, e-mailed to jimmy@hotrodhobbies.com or faxed to 661-255-2196. The winner of the design contest will be given their first class entry to the Shootout, on the house!


The Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout is a world class race, which routinely attracts off-road drivers from all over the country and indeed, around the world. Some of the top racers from Japan and Europe have come to our track for the Shootout, to test their skills against other off-road pros. Drivers who attend this event will be rubbing elbows with some of the best drivers in R/C, and if you're a rookie...prepare to be paired up with one of them as your mentor, in the R/C Pro-Am! It's a rare opportunity to learn from the best of the best.

This year's event features five Short Course classes...if you thought the competition was fierce at the "Tuesday Night Nationals" here at Hot Rod's, you haven't seen anything, yet! Get your entry in early, we expect a great turnout this year. Download the printable PDF entry form below to see the available classes and prepare for one of the biggest off-road races of the year!
