So the folks at the top of the :NAXJA: food chain have decided to do something a little different for the March ROTM. In Feb each chapter will do it's own ROTM (Rig of the Month for those of you who don't already know) Then on March first the winner will go up against all the other chapters. All of naxja will vote on the top three and one of them will go on to win next month's national ROTM. So...Here are the rules.
  • Only Red Members are allowed to compete.
  • You can not have won in 2010
  • There is no limit on the number of rigs that enter, but all submissions must be put in before Feb 24th.
  • Feb 25th thru the 28th voting will take place, and the winner will go on to compete nationally.
  • March 1st a National Poll will be started containing the top rig from each Chapter.
Go ahead and post two or three good pics of your rig in this thread. You should include at least one good action shot and another good Driveway shot. Then include a good spec sheet for your modifications.

Good luck guys!!

Ok let me clear something up. The ROTM contest allows ONLY 2 pictures of your rig. You guys are going to have to narrow it down a little.

Oh and you can ONLY vote in your chapter. No "cross voting", if you do that then ALL of your votes will be deleted.
 
Nice looking rigs guys...... No more than three photo's in the RRC, and once a winner is picked it will have to be narrowed down to to two photo's of the winner's rig to be put into the National Poll.
 
i suppose ill play for some grins!
