Evolution is well aware of how to submit a national event and has on several occasions. I'm sure the track owners will be doing so again this year.

John ...... thanks for the help. We got off to a bit of a ruff start. Adam and Canyon got up late we didn't get on the road untill 3:45, we took two wrong roads out of town and didn't make it to 49 out of town untill 3:55. Needless to say I put the pedal to the metal and we made it to the airport in Little Rock with a gas stop at 5:45 ..... we were hallin ass to Little Rock. Got Q beat on what he said was a fast run to Little Rock. We saw like 5 or 6 cars the first 40 min or so of the drive.

Thanks John, Ricky Bobby (Rob email me [email protected]), Billy Bob, Q, Victoria, Joe and all the rest of the RCH crew that I meet and didn't get names for. This was by far the funest event that I've been a part of.

Considering all the technical scoring equipment hurdles we had to overcome this event went smooth.

Congrats to all of our winners, Justin, Kyle, Josh Nueman, Josh Cyrul and Paul and thanks to everone that participated.

I just wanted to thank everyone at RCHobbies for a good race. Hurdles were overcome with enough speed that I didn't even realize a lot of things had issues. Being on the otherside of the computer at my track, that's the best compliment that any race directing group can have.
I would like to say that the tech staff did a great job this weekend. It was quick, concise, friendly, and realistic. All this with having to sit under an easy-up in 90+ degree heat for days. I also want to thank Adam for catching my gritty front bearing in my motor before it got sealed.
Things were on time, there was tons of practice, and the monster tent was a hub all weekend for all sorts of fun... Barry and Numan's tire war
I've put on decent sized races before, and there is a ton of work that goes into these events with even more headaches during the race. So hats off to the entire staff for taking on such a huge task.

Default Thank you

Randy and I got back home to Maryland safely after 17 hours on the road. The whole weekend in Arkansas was worth every minute of it. We met some great new friends and was able to match some great RC racing names to the faces. Special thanks to Quinn and the RC Hobbies crew for putting on a great show. The ROAR staff present worked relentlessly for 4 - 12 hour days to support all the racers and spectators there while keeping schedule.

We look forward to next years ROAR On-Road race.

Of course everyone could have just gone to the Electric Cowboy to get drunk 2 hours earlier and skipped the drivers party.

Next time save the festivities for the local racers Q. We'll appreciate it!
Maybe there should have been an optional party at chuck-e-cheese for those that couldn't handle it.
