I am going to run every class you do now Eric. LOL

13.5 single cell, and it there is a discount on 2 classes I might be able to afford that too.

Allan-
Thank you for all you do. ROAR is going to miss out on some good money by dropping this, but it will be a better race overall I think.

Thank and see you soon!!

Joel White

21.5 Lipo and 17.5 Lipo, Thanks Allen this will be a great event.

Allen good to hear looking forward to the race...17.5 lipo and 10.5 so far

Should be a full car load coming from Wisconsin. Thanks Allan, you saved alot of money and hassle for people.

Doing everything I can to make it! Thanks Allan!!!


Adam

Allan, Wife says I still have enough money to keep replacing broken parts so I will be there for 13.5/1c. :woohoo:

17.5 and 10.5 Lipo for me Allan!!!!

Bud Denning

This is going to be a big event for real carpet oval racers. You need to be there and SMELL THE SMOKE!!!!

Way to go Allan! I hope the turnout triples since "those other people" don't have anything to do with the race!

Thanks Allan for the race!
17.5
21.5
Gary

Allan,

Thanks for all you do for us oval racers!

Lipo 17.5
Mario Marsilio

This should be an annual event "Greeneville Oval Nats" Trademarked and property of Ricky Bobby Inc:thumbsup:

WOW! Already up to a potential 37 entries including mine.

Alan thanks for keeping this... I was one of the only few that had registered. Now I got enough money back to race and go have a killa steak dinna... YEAH BABY!!!!

I'm in for 13.5 single cell and 21.5 truck! :thumbsup:

Bill Maye

Alan,

You going to post the rules for the 21.5 Truck and 13.5 single cell... going to be the same as oval masters with charging and heating?

Thanks,
Bill

Allen, I'll be there!!! Just not sure which class yet.:thumbsup:

Chris Cooper

Count me in
21.5 car
17.5 possibly
Thanks, Ken Schauer

The race will turn out better , and cheaper without those "Other" people anyways.

I personally will never in my life sign up for another race sanctioned by them. Too much bull to deal with. Rule for this, rule for that, just let us race.

Even Though They Backed Out Will You Be Sticking To Their Approved Battery List Since This Happened So Close To The Race.

Okey Dokey..

Now that roar is out, I'm going to try and get there...

21.5 / 17.5 lipo and possibly 13.5 / single... all depends on what I have for rides.

Steve Nelson 13.5 single cell

ALLAN said rules will be like the snowbirds and Ovalmasters with some minor tweaks.

Not set in stone yet but most likely no freeze, and a to be determined temp for batteries that will most likely be lower than 110. No roof height rule and same battery rules.

No BS like before just good fair common sense racing!

sounds cool!
Steve Herndon:
13.5/3.7v
possibly 21.5/7.4

On the 21.5 Truck is that novak only referring to just motor or ESC and Motor?

Bill

Motor!

I like the "just good fair common sense racing!"

My thoughts have always been "If it fits in the box and doesn't drag on the carpet then lets race it"

I was the Race Director for the 2001 Roar Off-Road Mod Nats here in Clearwater. Lets UNDERLINE Off-Road MOD Nats. They made them run SPEC TIRES. Again off-road MOD Nats. SPEC TIRES????????

Oh Yes I spend my $30 and joined roar again just last week. Oh Well.

Maybe common sense rules will prevail and we can all go back to racing again.

Have fun Guys and Gals hope to see you racing real soon:wave:

We will be holding the Carpet Oval Nationals at Greeneville RC Speedway, There will be no pre entry required but if you plan on running,a post of the classes that you intend to run would be appreciated. That will help me know what awards to plan on.


Allan-
I dont know about everyone else, but I really dont need an award/trophey for winning, or being in the A-main. If it will save money and helps your track, I say forget about the awards. The pic's with everyone at the end of the day are enough for me. I dont need a trophey to collect dust to know that I won or where I finished. Lets save some money and make this event even better!!

Just my take on it...

Joel White

caleb mullins
17.5 lipo
???? lipo

Allen, will the event still follow the schedule as before? set-up only on Thursday, controled practice Firday, qualifing Saturday and mains Sunday. I am with J-dub on the awards. Maybe just A-main top three at most. Lets here from the racers on this. Is it dust collectors or race tracks we want?

I have enough 7th place d-main trophies but complementary bbq (stans) would be nice:thumbsup: thanks Allen my wife says I can afford to race now see ya'll soon!

Allan, Thanks for keeping the date. You are a TOP NOTCH GUY, Cant wait to meet you in a few weeks, I can see how you go out of your way for the racers, Now if only we had a ORG. that could do the same......Keep up the great work......

13.5 single cell

For all the guys who signed for a ROAR membership for the race.

I was told that if I send my ROAR rule book, stickers and member card back to them they will refund my $$$$ 100%.

Just thought some would like to hear this info.

I'm Totally Fine With "a-main Only" Trophies. Put The Cost Of My Possible Trophy Back Toward The Track. I'm Just Happy To Have A Place As Good As Allan's To Race.

Marcel Ledbetter

p.s. Hey Allan Got One More Entry

Mike Weist 21.5 Truck (that Makes 2 For Him)

13.5 single cell 4 me* Eddie Rowland

Just pulled this off the ROAR Web Site:

The ROAR Executive Committee regretfully announces the cancellation of the Carpet Oval Nationals to be held in March of 2009 due to lack of participation. The small number of entrys gathered were processed through Pay Pal through the online registration site. Refunds for the entry fees will be processed immediately through the same method of payment as received.

ROAR and the planned track host are working on a date for rescheduling this event. The track host was compensated the first payment as agreed to in the financial considerations of the National Guidelines and the host agreement submitted by the track owner.
