Anything can happen. There is plenty of practice time till then!

The best part of large races is the close competition at all skill levels.

bump up... only 1 month away!!

this will be a great one

To the Top please

I can help by being a race director.

I can help by being a race director. Thanks. Seth Barrand is already race director but I'm sure we will need help that weekend. We'll talk next time your at the raceway.

when is the entry form due?

my guess would be that friday or really early that saturday

I'd be there, but it is the same weekend that the Mars series is @ stateline. Good luck to all those attending. See you soon.

entries will be taken the day of races. no deadline for this one

remember guys this race is ALL STOCK Saturday and ALL MOD Sunday so those of you going to the mars race at stateline can run MOD on Sunday so come out and have a blast...

ill be there both day 1 to probabbly race other to watch

What is the cheepest hotel near there.

there is motel 6's that are like 30-40 a night there at least used to be a comfort in too

Do you need a ROAR membership to enter the race? If so " How much is it?"

There is a list of nearby motels on the webpage. Look on the left side of the page and scroll down a bit. I'm not sure of the prices, the phone numbers are listed.

From what I understand, an annual ROAR membership is $30. You can get an event membership good for this event only for $15.

can we sign up when we get there?????

Al,
They said in the other thread that sign up the day of the event is fine.
later
Dayton

Yes you can sign up the day of the event

-Tracey

thank you

Summit ordered wall plaques today. Fifty A-mains (7x9), fifteen B-mains (6x8), and 12 C-mains (6x8) will be given out.

Hey Big Al! You comin up for it Playa?? Will be good to race/see you again dude...it's been a while.

See you all there....will be a GREAT turnout too. This track is awesome and has indoor pits with AIR CONDITIONING, and the track is built by racers for racers! Doesn't get any better than that folks.

Is there camping available at the track?

No camping at the track, there is a couple hotels right down the road.
I'm not sure how far it is to the closest camp ground.
Dayton

Is there camping available at the track?
Yeah, there's PLENTY of hotels/motels very close to the track....that's not a problem. Even a teet bar just half mile down the road as well.

to the top please

David, you got a PM.

For all who's coming for the regionals, I'll post after this weekend what the track is like and what tires may work so maybe as to help you guys figure out what to bring. If I get a setup working, I may post it as well. Just thought it may help someone who's coming to get a head start.

Will be a great race! I hear more and more people coming every day.

Some of the local guys worked their butts off this week to do a complete rework for the ROAR race. This layout has a little bit of everything thrown in (a real drivers track). Buff, you know who designed and built it so you know what I'm talking about. Should be especially fun for the Mod classes.

Right on.... hell yeah....I'm sure it'll be dialed. Thanks to those who built the track. I know Cory and Laws helped build it, but I want to thank them plus everybody else that built the track as I know it's been very hot this week and I'm sure that's been quite difficult to do that much work in the heat. Thanks again guys, as I would be sure this will be another great layout, especially for the regionals.

Al,

To my knowledge 3800's are the limit according to roar rules.
Unless something has changed, it's 38's

ROAR rules apply.
