Is this confirmed yet? Are they going to allow turbo plug for .12 non open class?
As far as i know, they are .12 and .12 open(turbo plug allowed already)

Thanks

YES!!! in 2004 Turbo plus are legal in .12 sedan Touring class.

You mean they are legal in the open class or all classes

RICK WILSON: STARTING GRID NOV. 3RD
 

Starting Grid Roar2003 Item 38: Summary of Fall 2003 ExCom Meeting
Entered by Rick Wilson (m2spec99) on Mon Nov 3 20:27:54 EST 2003:

Much of the meeting was spent discussing positive directions and the
goals for 2004.

We are looking to establish some consistency in the rules and tried
our best to only make rule changes where there have been
inconsistencies or changes were necessary.

The direction of ROAR is to continue to be one of the best racing
organizations for RC racers. To support our members and tracks and
build membership by providing rules, guidelines and sanctioned races.

We are looking to provide excellent races and opportunities to compete
in the IFMAR World Championship events.

National venues have been decided but the ExCom Competition Director
will be in contact with the tracks/clubs to verify information and
dates before we post the schedules and locations.
(BE PATIENT)
