tim, so then what your saying is, we can just take the weekly club race results and at the end of 6 weeks declare a "gold cup" champ. really?
if you don't like roar, or roar races, don't go, don't join, but don't tell me they are meaningless. end of story.

I dont think its so much that they are meaningless but why does the word roar and the extra money involved with that word have to mean that it is a more important race
I think I would be more inclind to go to a regional or national race if roar wasnt involved why do I have to pay them to race why cant I just pay the track promoting it
maybe if roar themselves got the handouts/give aways and trophies I wouldnt have such a problem giving them my "hard earned money"
winning the ect or nct in your respective class is much closer to a "regional champion" than winning a roar held race in my oppinion and I should know Ive won both roar and ect
skypilot congrats on your win no one is trying to take it away from you or talk down about it. it is a hard race to win. Have you had better races with more competition with out roar being involved ?more fun with more give aways, better trophies ?

From what I've read in their nationals competition form, ROAR does purchase the trophies.
Here's the quote...
"ROAR will furnish the trophy awards for the event and the RMT staffing including hotel accommodations, airfare, rental vehicles and per diem expenses."

never ever said roar was more important.
look up the price for a the roar national in june,
now look up the price for the IIC race just held in VEGAS
at nationals, i was 2 seconds off the lap pace and worked my ass off to get on pace with setup and driving style changes for 4 days until the mains started and that made it a much harder challenge.
while i have better looking plaques and thropys, none stand out like the national one, the rest were stepping stones along the way, all of them are STILL prized and special. I actually feel sad for the guys that don't want or like them, but thats just me.
and one major difference between regionals/nationals and the ECT/NCT You can't NEVER win a race and be crowned champ at a regionals/nationals.

Ritchie it was great to finaly meet you although we didnt get to really talk much, but it was great you made it up and really hope you can again.
It was so great some TRCR guys all came, wish I could have visited with Scott B a little, but really enjoyed watching him race.... faaaaast
Didnt get to say boo to Wild at all either but Doug and I put a 20.00 reward for hacking a cherry 
that no one won. You Tacoma guys are good people.

Not that I'm a Roar fan, I think they could do way better with some key changes, but as far as entrys, we did get 62 entries of high caliber wicked fast talent and another 23 people that contacted me crying they couldnt make it for one reason or another and this is just 4 fuel classes we ran not 9 classes of fuel and electric like the nct that you need to take into account.
Dont know if we'll do another Roar event but it was killer diller I thought anyway.

Hey Leopard1...
I wasn't picking on your race specifically just so you know.
If I would have had some engines (all of them torn down and waiting for pieces) and a truck delivered when it was suppose to be, I would have shown up myself. I like getting to new tracks... and unfortunately there aren't many times to race against Brown up here; missed out on both..

Never any offense taken Mike, it was a good race and it would have been an honor to have you there and i bet you would have done well and had a great time.
Not nct entry numbers but regardless it was truly a memerable good time.
Congrats on your nct points position along Tayler P
