Today we recieved word from ROAR the CEFX Raceway will be the host track for the 2007 ROAR Carpet On-Road Nats!!

We are very excited for this oppertunity and are already putting plans into action to improve and prepare the facility for the event. As we progress I'll be sure to post information and pics.

Sweet!!!!

Josh with Snowbirds just a few weeks prior and many with Vacation time..any cahnce for late March???

Congrats Josh and CEFX. Looking forward to another great event that is close enough to attend. Maybe this will be the one for me!!!!

congrats Josh
cant wait to make it up there
Mo

Any dates set for this race??

ON roar's website scheduled for March 2 & 3, is this date tentative?

The dates have changed to march 8th thru the 11th.

Thanks, another week for practice

Will there be a rubber class?
Masters maybe?

No rubber or Masters. :(

I wish there was a rubber tire class too. I was getting all excited about going for the hole thing, now I think I will just take a day trip to just check it out.

seth

c'mon airborn there's nothing wrong with running foam tires, don't let that discourage you from running the nats. There probably will not be another on-road nats in this region for a few years.

Hey guys,

Sorry about the no masters or no rubber tires. ROAR has a rule about 6 classes only. I thought about the classes and it was hard to deny that 19T was the largest classes in 1/12 for sure and I think TC also at the Champs so I had to go with that rather than masters or a rubber class. We invite everyone to come out and race or at least drop in and check things out. We are putting a lot of work into the facility to make it one of the best events!!

Seth, If you are going up for the day. lmk as it gets closer to the date. I'll go and check it out w/ya

yeah I will do that. lets talk at the track I will be doing sundays every other week so maybe talk then.

or just pm me
seth

Josh,

Can't argue with the numbers. I am exicited not to have to fly to the Nationals this year.

We'll see you after the Novak Race for sure.

Since I was bashed by some Kropy "guy" (term loosely used) in the CEFX thread, I figured I had better post my question here also……..

I am getting ready to turn in my vacation request and was wondering what the schedule might be for the ROAR race. I saw the entry form on the CEFX site, but was wondering what might be going on Monday (I'm guessing closed) and Tuesday.

Oh darn he’s posting here also………..Hi Dale

Confucius say, Chucka Chucka Chickety Chuck.

What is the most economical hotel to stay at that is not a dump? I am looking to make reservations sometime in the next week or so and need to decide where.

Mcsquish- I see that you are still racing...........

Well, since the GLC I haven't raced any, but boy do I have frequant flyer miles!

Any updates on the numbers of entries per class?

Hi,
Can you tell us what the handouts are? Thanks.

James

I just wanted to Chime in and let everyone know that its not Josh's fault about not having the information you guys are asking about. Since Roar has went to the RMT (Race management Team) all entries and sent to Roar and they handle all of that. They also handle all the motor purchases and decisions. So until someone at Roar gets off of their lazy asses and sends Josh an email letting him know its all a guessing game.

Hopefully they will pull their heads out of their asses and get their act together before they ruin whats going to be an awesome race!!

Maybe we should ask Adrian to get on it.







Oh, wait......

Is The Race Entry Deadline Next Wed Feb 7th If So Who Is On The List ?

At the moment, the only information I have recieved is that we will be using Trinity hand-out motors of some form. I didn't get any specifics on which motors as ROAR for some reason wants to keep it a secret. 19T's will be either C2 or KD. Stocks, who knows...

Class counts - I have no idea at the moment. The only thing I know is that as of this past week there were 36 people signed up but I have no idea of the classes or who signed up.

make stock run the MVP like we had to at you oval nats....lolololol

JC~ ygm.

Get your entries in!

Josh, what's a KD? What's the handout for mod?:drunk:

What the schedule for the regionals? ANYONE????????:confused:

EA

Keep it up & the restaurant might not be open for you.:lol:

Hey Everyone,

This weekend's Regionals are canceled.... We had a few issues with things so we've decided to cancel the event. It may be rescheduled possibly in April.

We still will have a CEFX Raceway Nationals Warm-Up. Racing schedule will be the same with a few exceptions:

Friday - Practice 2pm-9pm. If you want to only practice this day it will be $10.
Saturday - 9am-1pm Open Practice, 3 rounds of qualifying. If time permits - Open practice until 9pm. If you only want to run Saturday it will be $15.00
Sunday - 9am-Noon Open Practice, 1-2 rounds of qualifying (depending on turnout) and Mains. If time permits - Open practice until 6pm. If you only want to run Sunday it will be $15.00

Rate for Friday, Saturday, Sunday will be $35.00

This also means that no ROAR Membership will be required for this weekend so any local drivers who weren't planning on attending the Nats and/or didn't want to pay the single event fee to run the Regionals will be good to go.

Good luck to all the racers going to the Nats! I hope there are lots of trophies for Michigan racers and anyone from Tag's Team Express. :-D

hey rich; your not racing it?
did you or fred want to run 12th at lazer this summer. didnt really matter to what motor, but.... lmk

-Zac

Hi Zac - I haven't touched a r/c car since October. :( Just haven't had time. I would have liked to have raced the Nats since it is at the home track. For this summer, I don't know how much racing I will be able to get in but I was just planning on just doing electric TC when I could get out to race.

-Rich

thats cool, just curious. havent really seen you around lately. heck i havent raced since jan 1. havent been up to cefx since november or so.

-Zac

Rich im in the same boat. I m major bummed i cant race either. being self employed has its perks and major downs too like not being able to be two places at once. haha

if i could only get more clones of myself to be two places at once. still working on that though...................

Hope everybody does well from around here. i will deff come see the mains and cheer on the local boys for sure. maybe even paint my whole body like a football game or somthing. haha

GOOD LUCK FELLAS!!

Would someone please confirm the schedule for the Nats. Earlier posting (if I read it right) said 3 Q's Saturday and Mains on Sunday but the Flyer from ROAR says 2 Q's Fri, 2 Q's Sat and Mains Sunday. And Thursday is OPEN practice not Controlled!

Zac - yeah, school (in your case) and work does have a bad habit of getting in the way of racing, eh? :) Plus, you have a lot farther drive to the track now.

Hey Kevin! Yeah, I know exactly what you are talking about. That is a bummer, I figured the 1/12th you made would be hitting the track at the nats. There are definitely a lot of folks in Michigan alone with really neat 1/12th creations.

I'll be coming out Sat or Sun to watch some of the action and see the changes I've heard have been made to the track/pit areas.
