If you have any rubber stock/19T/mod/masters you should get some of us from the Left Coast. Just like we went to foam to accommodate you at our 2006 Carpet Nats in Stockton.

Thanks for the consideration...

Bill ..... unfortunatly per the ROAR rules host tracks can not mix tire types (i.e rubber tire classes and foam tire classes) at a level 4 or 5 event. The Nationals are a level 5 and as far as I know it's going to be a foam tire race.

These are the currently approved 4500 & 4600 mah cells:
EP Enrichpower 4600 (Red/Black Shrink, silver lettering)
GP - GP4600 GP460SCHR, red/green shrink
GREPOW - Ultra-Power 4500, pink&red shrink w/white&yellow lettering
Shenzin Vigor Power (Slingshot) E-Power 4500, Lt. blue shrink w/yellow 4500 in black trim

The next battery approval doesn't happen until May '08

Running Rubber tires can be allowed with deviation request. I think we need to revist the rule for next year. I think we have enough big races that run the two togther.

unfortunately, after we announced the first set of dates (5th-9th) a conflict became apparent and per our rules, we cannot conflict with another ROAR sanctioned event... if at all possible...(for those who want to point out several in the last few years... LOL)

so, the dates were moved to March 12-16th. ROAR Nats are three days.. but we allow the posting of earlier dates in the week for racers to schedule their practice time. ROAR RMT will be present from Thursday through Sunday of the event.

Regarding Masters: we'll be working with the Track on this one.... but sure would be nice to see more than 10 to 12 entrys... (yea, thats a hint.. LOL)
