Matt Francis' home track and it's his last "big" race. I'm guessing that had something to do with it.

Maybe a fraction, but look at the facts in reality. The carpet nats have been on the east coast or midwest for a long time. The west coast hasn't had the event in some time.

Trust me, I would much rather see it in MD myself, so this isn't a biased look at it.

Agreed...we should have the race the same day for all the east coast racers that aren't traveling to the carpet nats...I bet we'd get a better turnout.

No, no.

I am going to the Nats. If there are 4 carpet racers in the West coast, then I may have a chance to finish 5th in the National level

Brandon,
I don't know about a long time. I was at the race in Stockton in 2002. Rubber tires on carpet. Two years in a row on the east coast isn't domination. In my opinion, the only thing it will accomplish is to decrease the turnout, which isn't good thing for ROAR.

Maybe Sedan and 1:12 classes for Stock, 19T and Mod... 50oz min for sedan and 28oz min for 1:12. BYOM for all classes (roar legal probably) and any batteries? What about brushless? Maybe just offer a brushless mod class and let them run whatever as long as it's brushless? Tires, run any foam tires you want...Run whatever body you want...Just throwing some suggestions out there...

Maybe call it the Non-ROAR Carpet Nationals?

calling it a non roar nats will hurt future chances of getting a race.
i talked to Bob, ( I know big stretch ) but we did talk about putting something together that weekend of the Nats, I am willing to ask some of my supporters I get for the Charity Race to throw a bone for this race, if it happens, I will help where i can, but we need a dedicated person ( quality, experienced ) person to run the races, not this you go, then i go, crap,
