This will be a forum for the on road program at the Coliseum at Hobbytown USA in Frederick, MD. A 100'x47' indoor asphalt track that holds on road racing every Saturday and oval every other Sunday. Host of the 2009 on road electric paved ROAR Nationals. Feel free to post your questions or concerns on this thread regarding our track.

The on road classes we run are TC Stock, 1/12 Stock, US Vintage Trans Am, and Spec. But if you have three or more to run in a class I will let you race.

We are presently two weeks into an 8 week point series with two throw outs. So even if you missed the first two you can still make up those points.

Hope to see you at the "C"!!

Any pictures of the typical road course set up?

Unless otherwise noted:
1. Races are road or"circuit" races conducted per current ROAR rules & regulations.
2. Oval races are conducted every other Sunday during the fall/winter.

"The Colieum" What is that? Is that where you have a bag hooked up to your guts?

The "C" is a FANTASTIC big, indoor, asphalt track in Frederick, Maryland which is near Washington, DC. It's a super smooth and very fast track. The current menu offers on-road racing and a growing oval program. F-1 and INDY cars would look great on this track. If you have a chance, get to the "C"; you will not be disappointed.

Is the track open during the week?

I'm still askin', what is a "Colieum"?

I would like to come to the track for practice before the Roar Asphalt on-road National Championships what would be a good weekend to make the trip. I will be coming from MI.

I am terrible at cutting out bodies.... If I came by on Sat or Sunday would anyone be able to cut a few bodies for me? I'll pay you or do some Computer/Network work in exchange.

I'm sure someone will help out. if i'm there i will try to help. Later Dave

No my friend that would be a colostomy bag. If your curious my wife is a nurse she can hook one up for you.:rolleyes:

I know I have been high maintenance since I showed up, but I have another issue that I need some help with. I will always pay or return favors anyway I can for anyone who helps me.....

I have 4-4cell EP 4600 battery packs with no connectors on them. Can anyone show me, help me, etc get dean connectors on them and hopefully the C has a Standard Male Tamiya to Standard Male Dean Connector so I can charge them.

I would love to come out and run my TCI would like to know how
many guys come out for a local event.
I run TC 13.5 2C Foam edition wanted to know if any one else run this
class. Thanks I will be coming from Jersey City NJ sometime in February probably the end. Thanks again see you guys soon.

We are starting a best 6 out of 7 point series race this Saturday and usually get anywhere from 25 to 50 entries total. There should be at least one full heat of 13.5 (no foams we're an asphalt track so it's rubbers) most people use Jaco Blues.

This link (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-coliseum-frederick-md) usually has a live stream of the tracks race days and practice.

Thanks I picking a rubber car spec up and a few weeks. Ill be down there in february probably the end.. Im not too concern with running point series a little to far for me to travel every week. But to make a great weekend might not be a bad idea... thanks again ill keep in touch...

If you have a oval pan car you could always make it a weekend. Run Road course saturday and oval on sunday, we have lots of fun both days and its always a great bunch of racers. hope to see ya sometime at the "C". Dave

Getting into the swing of things with three weeks down into a 7 week series on the road course and 2 weeks down on the oval we hope to see you all even if just for a weekend at the Coliseum.

We will be running oval next Sunday for the second week in a row as to not interfere with valentines day and other 1/1 scale racing. Oval will alternate weekends after that up until the 21st of March for the final race of the season.

See revised schedule.
