just wondering if there is going to be a paved oval regional?

If a ROAR affilated club sends in a bid I will have something to think about.

so your saying nobody's bid on it yet?

That's what I'm saying!

Now who do you have in mind?

nobody in particular. it would just be nice to have a regional.

Your right. Get someone to talk with HW.

sorry Bill not my area. I have absolutely say say on racing over there. I was looking at the new roar site and they have posted a RD manual and it says

quote

Regional Championships
There should be at a minimum, one Regional Championship for each scale that
is raced at a National Championship in your Region. As a RD, you are
responsible for soliciting and evaluating Regional event bids, and you will be
responsible for deciding which tracks will host your ROAR Regional
Championships. Event schedules should preferably be posted no later than 3-6
months prior (in January is best for established regions) for the best racer
turnout. For Regionals, you should always be in the event solicitation process
(getting bids). Set an early fall deadline for receipt of bids for the next year.
Require that Regional events be in writing and accompanied by a sanction form.
Evaluate the bids you receive with help from your appropriate scale assistant and
make your decisions as early as possible. Remember, you will need extra time to
gain final approval for your Regionals from the RTD. The following criteria will
assist you in making your decisions:

1. The track must be a current ROAR member track.
2. The Race Director must be a current ROAR member, but must not race
the event.
3. The ROAR official you must assign to the event cannot race.
4. Does the track have experience in conducting large events?
5. Do the Race Director, technical inspectors and others officials have
ROAR event experience? Are they ROAR members, as required?
6. Site adequacy? Including location, equipment, motels, porta-potty’s, Etc.
7. Do your proposed dates conflict with ROAR Nationals or other major
events?
8. Could this track produce a useable race report for your Rev-Up Online
column?
9. Can they hold a warm up race before the regional?
10. Can your Regional be timed to be held a couple of weeks before the
Nationals?

so since we didn't have one last year can you make it happen this year?

there are several ROAR tracks that can host this event.

Hobby World JAX
Fast Track Longwood
Speedline Tampa
Strickland RC park Ormond Beach

I'm impressed you quoting me the rules. Just wondering if you seen the request I've posted for many months- Revup, and different columns out there. The same results no answers for oval.I thought you were trying to get HW to send in a bid?The same out there for the other clubs you listed they have to send in a bid to host the race.If I don't recieve any bids then what?

um call those tracks and ask them. go the extra mile!!! we need a regional !!! August is wide open. as long as it isn't on the 2nd saturday.

Dave, are you in a position to assist in soliciting a regional event? Even experienced region directors need help with such large areas .... no matter what the region director manual says.. :)
