I went ahead and signed up for both open and masters.
All seems to be fine at the moment.
See you there.

Attn Rich Browne
I do not see a spot to sign up for 1/8 Masters, am I missing something?
Thank you,

Hi Mark,
On the entry form there is a place to list your date of birth. Determines Masters eligibility. Due to anticipated 1/8th demand (Worlds Qualifier) the Masters will be running, as qualified, in the general field. The highest placed Master will be the Class winner, next highest place will be second and so on. If you would like to comment, you may reach me - Rich Browne <[email protected]>

Is there a bit of a flaw here, or am I missing something? What if the TQ in masters is the only masters entry in their main? Seems to me they would be the only one running in the longer duration main, and therefore wouldn't even have to race within the class. Is this a potential loophole/oversight, or incorrect analysis??
It is ROAR's goal to put on an excellent event. What makes this year special is many drivers will be competing to represent Team USA at the Worlds. Remember, Masters is a provisional class - this is a Worlds Qualifier.
Considering the stature of this event this is our best solution to allow the Masters Class to participate. Feel free to eMail me if you guys have any additional suggestions. I don't want to tie the thread up too much. We will figure a solution that will work for all prior to starting the event.

Sounds to me if you are the only Masters entry in a main your place is locked and you get to save fuel and tires - no use running you probably won't advance and you can't fall back. Maybe we should just hold our own event.

Thanks for clarifying;
Dry answer, but it is accurate.
From the 2010 ROAR National Guidelines -
13) Entry to National Events: Limits and Procedures
a) Entry limits are placed on all ROAR nationals to ensure that all entrants receive
adequate practice and race time at the event. Entry limits may not be altered past maximums
stated in these Guidelines without Executive Committee approval.
b) The Host should notify the ROAR Executive Committee if the possibility exists which would
allow an increased entry limit due to track or facilities configuration. When that possibility
exists, ROAR’s policy is to extend the entry opportunity to as many members as possible
without impacting a comfortable race schedule. Tracks must consider length of driver’s stand
to hold two and half feet of space per driver to calculate maximum number of drivers in any
heat or main multiplied by 1.4 (seconds).
c) The maximum number of event entries will be limited as follows: (other types not reflected
here will be awarded entry limits per Executive Committee approval.)
iv) Fuel On Road 20 qualifying heats –equal split of two vehicle types
Dry answer, but it is accurate.

Two opinions for ROAR.... I know everyone has one.
#1 Those that want to qualify for the worlds, let them run the open class. Some have no intention on going to the worlds but want their chance to be a Masters Champion. If they want to run both Masters and Open, let the racers make their own decision. Don't cut a class that is almost as popular as the open class. This will only discourage some from running. A little warning would have been nice. I am not near the age for the Maters class but find this a little disappointing that this announcement was not made well before registration. When was this decided ROAR?
#2 What can you do in six qualifiers that you can't do in five. Maybe it is too late for this years Nationals but maybe next year a five qualifier Nats with longer mains. Plane ride ( or drive), hotel, food and racing expenses for 4-7 ish days, then you get a 15 minute main. This may be a long time for electric racers but for nitro racers this is short. Cut a qualifying round and extend the mains to 20, 25, 30 and 45 minutes for the lower mains. (lower mains = everything other than the 60 min A mains)
Just my opinion.
This is directed to ROAR, not the track owners.
