When I think of ROAR, I think of a major corporation operating out of we'll say Atlanta, GA. The ROAR office building a large towering multi-billion dollar type of structure so tall you can see the tip of Florida from the Presidents office window.

There are 100's if not 1000's of staffers bouncing around the office, making copies, drinking coffee. Dozens of office desks piled high with event schedule information, upcoming rules changes, down in the publishers office next months copy of Rev-Up is laying in 1/2 printed form on a desk while changes are being made on the computer.

Down in the basement, where product testing and approval are taking place, nearly 1/2 dozen men and women in white lab coats are dyno testing and tearing down motors, measuring lexan bodies for detailed accuracy, with a digital caliper batteries are being measured, photographed and documented for upcoming material to be handed out as a TECH INSPECTORS GUIDE.

Member of the Ex. Comm. are gathered around a meeting desk working on ways to change the R/C Industry and make it TAKE OVER THE WORLD~

...or wait...maybe ROAR is really a few scattered people...scattered around the country...people who mostly have "REAL JOBS" and just so happen to LOVE R/C Racing enough to devote many, many hours of their spare time to help bring this organization together. People who actually do most of their ROAR work from home, on a home computer on their own time.

I think this would apply to any organization that trys to keep racing fair, not just ROAR. People dedicated to the hobby, that give time, with little thanks.

Not a bad guess- ROAR did at one time have part of the office in Atlanta ( Memberships).Us volunteers just get run down in the ground after awhile- we want to make things better for our hobby.Most don't say as long as I have and I doubt many will after I'm gone.
