more info more info more info PLEASE:thumbsup:


dirt ??????

Yup, we only do dirt at Battle Front

This a trophy race? There a flyer out?

Sounds cool.

This a trophy race? There a flyer out?
Yes this will be a trophy race. Fliers for all the events are coming real soon. Got so many events to plan, and fliers to make.....been taking a bit. Plus the holiday didn't help.

Just wondering why It's a ROAR Event?

Just wondering why It's a ROAR Event?
We have a decent size group of people who purchased ROAR memberships for the ROAR event in September who can use their memberships again for this event. Also, BFG is a ROAR sanctioned track so its nice to hold ROAR events at the track. ROAR gives the event and BFG more credibility and exposure. Also Terry has been a huge supporter of BFG and the guys who race in West Michigan, its nice to host these events to help support him. Those would be my main reasons for making this a ROAR event. :thumbsup:

Took the words right out of my mouth!!!!

Will a oneday pass be offered for this race or will we have to takw out a full year membership . I know that some of the people that race like me race on a budget and can't afford to buy a full membership. Sounds like a fun time and I'll try to be there

CJ, it will be like all ROAR events, single day or year long passes will be available.

Any updates? There a flyerr out?

Any special deals with the hotels around?
I've been asked to provide some info, so people traveling can make plans to come to this event... Is the Days Inn a good choice? Any special rate for racers?
Thanks

Mike

Will a flyer be posted anytime soon! Thanks!!

Will a flyer be posted anytime soon! Thanks!!
I finished up a flier for the event last Friday and took a handfull with me out to Leisure Hours over the weekend. I will get it posted before the end of today so everyone can download it. Also, Uncle E is bringing a bunch of fliers with him to CRCRC on Thursday and will be able to hand them out at the race for anyone who is interested.

The event flier can be downloaded by clicking on one of the following links:

Hope to see you there!

No Slash class?

No Slash class?
No sir, the Slash Bash is taking the place of a Slash class at the ROAR event.

Too bad, you'll lose a lot of entries considering that Slashes is the biggest class at BFG every week.

how much is the single event roar membership now???also can we pre-pay and register for this on line?

:wave:hello.

last time it was 15 for the day I think, I dont know bout the online stuff

Single day memberships are not available online, only with purchase at the event. And yes it is $15.

Next question, Are you doing the half off entry fee deal for racers under the age of 15?? Just wondered since my 12 yr. old will be with me.

Beef or Revo, do you have any info on the dsicounts for Hotels?
Thanks

I believe John, the track owner, does that with every race.

Hey Dakotah,

For the truck you have many tires that work well. Panther Switch 2.0 Clay, Holeshots, Losi BK Bar, or JConcepts Bar Codes. You can use those tires on front and rear.

2WD buggy its pretty much the same tires on the rear and a good set of Panther Bobcats on the front.

4WD I have no clue what they have been running lately. One of the guys will have to fill you in on that.

Yes, we can do 1/2 off entry for 15 and under.

Hey Dakotah,

The tires for the 4wd are :
Switch 2.0 RR an Bobcat r Raptor FRT (Clay Compound of course)
Holeshots (M3) RR and Pink Taper FRT
Probably a lot of the RR tires for the 2wd are working for the 4wd, i.e. Bar code or BK Bars, or Jconcepts DD.

I should have the info on the hotels tonight, so I'll post something as soon as I get the confirmation on prices...

Glad you are going to make it to the race.
Mike

No, at this time the plan is to run only ROAR classes, no exhibition classes (ie. 1/18th scale, 1/8th scale, slash).

ROAR weekend is almost here. Plan as of now is to open the doors at BattleFront for this weekend as follows:

Friday February 6: Noon to 8:00PM Open Practice

Friday February 6: 8:00PM - Close Club Race
($10 first class / $5 additional classes)
If you are registered for the ROAR race your fees are $5 for first class and / $5 each additional class

Saturday February 7: 7:00AM - Close ROAR Race

Yeah, they are afraid that there would be more Slashes then any other class :jest:

We had the Slash Bash because there was enough interest in racing the Slash that it warranted their own event. That race alone took 4 1/2 hours to finish. Last thing we want is a 12 hour race for this ROAR event. I will bring a towel for you to cry into Hank. :thumbsup:

So then there will be 1/8 Electric,right?

I,m no Roar expert but they added 1/8 electric nov 10 2008 for 2009 season. I wanna party like it,s 1999 but RC race like it,s 2009!

I know of at least 6 guys who are planning on running 1/8 sat.

Shhhhh.... they don't want it to be a 12 hour race ;)

I am in total agreement Jason. If 1/8th electric is an official ROAR class now we will definately allow them to run in this event. Spread the word! :thumbsup:

Sounds fun. This could be 1 of the first 1/8 included Roar events?
I really have no idea.
gonna have a ball
whatever

p.s I did see some updated Battery/1/8 rules info on the (news) section of the Roar site

:woohoo:! I'll definitely be there with my 1/8,cant wait!
