He should be getting greasier than you, you should be supervising the lad.:devil:

All this really means is that brushless technology will be put on the backburner until ernie is not the president of roar anymore which might not be a bad thing.:devil:

Here's a fine picture of Ernie at his desk.....

Although I don't think that any ceo of any of the major manufacturers should be in charge of roar thats just wrong.

JJ - What do you think are the critical areas that need to be addressed?
EP - I think it's easier if I put these in bulleted form for you:

1) I would want a stable set of rules (ones that are not made up or changed with no notice)...this is unfair to manufacturers spending lots of money on tooling, shops who are stocking inventory that becomes obsolete and customers who are buying products over and over again and are counting on ROAR to safeguard against this.

2) I would want a freeze on new products, especially batteries and possibly speed controllers. Too much technology down the pike that is still coming......we need to pick some models and close it off...at least in two year increments

3) I think a lot of manufacturers have made a fortune in the hobby and they need to donate some back so we could have a real organization with some "real paid employees working 24/7 for our hobby"

4) I would want to limit the amount of ROAR Nationals being held and place the emphasis on "QUALITY" rather than "QUANTITY". This will allow better events, more entries at these events and more coverage in the magazines...by limiting the races, we limit costs as well as choices....thus making the select races more attractive to come and participate

5) Shops and race-tracks would need to be shown how these races can make them money again...instead of the other way around......Shops can no longer lose money holding our events......I believe it is ROAR's responsibility to keep these tracks profitable at these National events. If this cant happen, the manufacturers need to subsidize some of the debt.

6) We need to re-vamp our Executive Committee full of people who want and have the time to do the job....not with people who are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts or since no one else will do it.

JW - Should everyone in roar get paid, or just the Executive Committee like the president?

I think there are alot of conflict of interest issues there.

Of course, this has probably all lead to a complete loss of any skills he had left. Yup, probably doesn't even remember how to turn on the radio any more.....:rolleyes:

[this should warrant a response, I suppose]

Bill, I'm assuming that we should insert the word "woman" in place of the word car, am I correct?? And the driving it part.... I'll pass!

Ernie for President!!

First mistake was getting a neon. Gawd, what a POS those were. Then you got another fine Chrysler product!

Chrysler still has yet to make a car as good as the old Omni/Horizons. Mine would probably still be on the road if I hadn't had that lesson in physics....:rolleyes:

By the way, other than myself and Monkey Boy Slaughter, who here has joined the "rolled car" club?

Just you bill just you:p

Oh, we didn't get another one, we bought both vehicles the same day from the same salesman on the lot. He ripped us off so hugely, I will never buy from a lot again. I really liked my neon, and I had no problems with it until some drunk old lady turned left in front of me, and let me tell you, they don't hold up well in a crash. I was going less than 20 mph, and the car was totaled. Frame wrenched so out of shape, the passenger doors wouldn't open. It sucks, too, cuz it was a great car. :mad:

Okay, I'll list "some" of the "older" cars
I've had in my younger years.

Several 55 Chevys
Several 57 Chevys
62' Impala W/409
64' Corvette W/427 tri-power
62' Corvette W/327
66' Nova SS W/327
65' Chevelle W/327
67' Chevelle SS W/396
66' Impala W/427
65' GTO W/389
70' Judge W/455
72' Corvette W/350
70' Dart W/440 (race car)
69' Mustang Mach 1 W/428 SCJ
68' Camaro SS/RS W/350
64' Galaxie W/390
66' Comet Caliente W/390
63' Biscayne W/327

I could go on but what's the point. I was a car crazy kid growing up, hummmm come to think of it I still am!!

One was in the Dart race car and I rolled it just after going thru the lights at 136+ MPH. Now, you wanna talk about a memorable moment!!
