Regionals Here I come
I am all signed up for 2W Stock, 4W Mod Buggy, and Stock Short Course.
I cannot wait to get back to this track. SC Nationals was incredible. If you are on the fence about going, GO you will not be disappointed.
Are the track changes done yet? any pics?
As far as SC tires used at the SC Nationals. Most and myself went with Super soft Gridiron fronts and Super soft Rebar rears. Green Barcodes and HB Beams pink were working as well.

Barcodes, Beams, Suburbs, Rebars for the Rear of SC. Depending on Heat Super Soft to Soft. And like troy said DD, Gridiron, Holeshot up front worked well
Track change- we have another club race 7/7 so we will not change it until after that... so expect updated shots 7/9 or so of track. Right now looking at first 50% of track change being shortening the sweeper to tighter right hander and altering the front triple into some other sort of new features, which in turn would change approaches into back double double and "roller coaster" sections. But still looking at minimizing effort while maximizing change

the Discount is for everyone, current ROAR member or not
The point of the additional parenthesis was to note that if you have to buy a ROAR membership at the track your total weekend fee will be greater than $20 after you purchase a ROAR event pass...
Regardless of who you are, where you are what memberships you hold... RACE FEE is $20 through Friday, then goes to $25

Great News Racers!
After working with the ROAR executive committee we have received approval for providing Vouchers for No racer cost entry into nationals! So we are back on for Mod Win = Free National Entry!
(Voucher would not guarantee entry into nationals if maximum entry limit is reached prior to use but be equivalent to one entry should room in the event exist)
So its Game ON!

CUT-OUTS ON SC BODYS
Short Course body ruling for the 2011 Nationals
Thursday, July 21st, 2011
The issue of the body height for short course trucks is one that was taken up at the ROAR Annual Meeting, and determined to need updating. The current rule was agreed to be waived in lieu of a more relevant measurement from the chassis to the roof. That dimension has not been established as of yet, so for the running of the 2011 1/10 Off Road Nationals, there will be no ground-to-roof measurement enforced. The only requirement is that the body not be above the trim line

8.10.12.6.1 Use of ribbed front tires is inconsistent with a category that has achieved
most of its popularity on the basis of scale appearance. Therefore, ROAR
has decided not to allow use of this type of tire on this basis. Ribbed front
tires and "dashed" ribs will not be permitted. The rules will favor scale tread
patterns, but the front tires must at least feature a tread pattern that's
consistent with those used on the rear of the truck.

6 BODY, BUMPER AND WING RULES
6.1 BODY RULES
6.1.1 Bodies used in ROAR-sanctioned events must resemble vehicles used in full
scale racing for the type of event being conducted. The ROAR Executive
Committee will specify which body styles may be used in competition at
sanctioned events.
6.1.2 Only ROAR-approved bodies may be used in sanctioned events.
6.1.3 Body Approval process:
6.1.3.1 An Approved Body List is maintained by the ROAR Technical Director, and
published on the ROAR website (www.roarracing.com). If a body is not on the
approved body list, it is not legal for use at ROAR-sanctioned events.
6.1.3.2 The ROAR Administrator or Technical Director can provide full details of the
submission process on request.
6.1.3.3 To be approved, bodies MUST conform to the provisions of rules 6.1.17.1 and
rules 6.1.18 through 6.1.18.3, plus any dimensional requirements in the
Vehicle Class Specifications itemized in sections 8.10 and 9.4 of the ROAR
rulebook. The body manufacturer, distributor or other entity must submit a
picture and sample of the body to ROAR, along with the required fee, and
must be a current ROAR Industry Affiliate member.
6.1.3.4 All approved bodies are required to have the manufacturer's ID and Body
number molded into the lower portion of the windshield or on the body below
the point where a windshield would have been on the full scale counterpart.
Otherwise, the proof of the legality of a questionable body is the responsibility
of the driver.
6.1.4 Throughout an event, the body must be complete, neatly finished, painted, and
trimmed. Detailed headlights, signal markers, grille and taillights appropriate for
each vehicle (where applicable) must be applied by paint or decal. These
details should be in significant contrast to the body in order to make them
clearly visible. No clear areas except windshields and windows are allowed. No
clear areas or stripes through body colors are permitted. No objectionable or
suggestive art, decals, or lettering will be permitted.
6.1.4.1 The lack of front fascia details may not be the subject of disqualification at the
conclusion of an event. An official may, however, require that a competitor apply such
details to the body at any time. If the request is made prior to the start of any
organized practice round, qualifier or main event, the driver may not request any
additional time beyond the predetermined grace period to comply with the
requirement. Failure to comply will prevent the driver from further participation in the
event until such a time as the requirement is fulfilled.
6.1.5 Sharp or otherwise dangerous parts or features on a body are not permitted.
6.1.6 All vehicles must have a readily removable body. The body and chassis must
be securely joined at all times while the vehicle is on the track. Rubber bands
are not allowed for this purpose. If a body comes off a vehicle during a race, the
31
vehicle must be taken off the track and the body properly replaced before the
race may be resumed.
6.1.7 A realistically detailed driver figure consisting of at least a painted head,
shoulders, and arms must be mounted or molded in all open cockpit bodies.
When the driver figure is mounted as a separate item, the cockpit area of the
body must be completely covered, with no open access to the chassis of the
vehicle.
6.1.8 All molded-in windows must be clearly identified. Side and rear windows may
be cut out unless otherwise stated in class rules or specifications. Open
windshields are not allowed, except for holes defined in the relevant class rules
or specifications. A sunshade band at the top of the windshield is permitted.
6.1.9 For closed-wheel bodies, no portion of the chassis, wheel, tire, or equipment
may extend beyond the body except to the rear.
6.1.10 Openings in the body other than those appropriate to full-size vehicle openings
such as grill, scoops, air vents, etc., must be kept to a minimum. Specifically
servos, receivers, batteries, and servo savers are not allowed to protrude
through the original body shell.
6.1.11 Wheel cutouts are allowed on the side plane of the body. They may not extend
into the horizontal plane of the body. Wheel cutouts may not exceed the
dimensions specified in the relevant class rules or specifications. Wheel wells
must be cut out if the original vehicle ran that way.
6.1.12 Antenna openings in the body may not exceed .375" in any direction.
6.1.13 Cooling holes: Bodies for on-road fuel-powered cars (other than touring vehicle
bodies) may have up to 1/3 of the windshield cut out. Bodies used on off-road
fuel-powered cars may have up to 1/2 the windshield cut out. For touring
vehicle windshields, one cooling opening is permitted, limited to a maximum of
60mm in any direction.
6.1.14 Refueling holes: A refueling hole is permitted in any body type for fuel-powered
cars. The following restrictions apply:
6.1.14.1 The hole must be centered directly above the fuel tank filler neck.
6.1.14.2 For bodies where the fuel filler cap extends above the body when open, such
as Sports/CanAm or off road buggy bodies, the clearance of the hole to the
filler cap may not exceed .375” in any direction.
6.1.14.3 For closed-roof bodies, such as Touring Car bodies, where the filler cap does
not extend above the body roofline when open, the hole may be a maximum
of 30mm in any direction, and may not intersect with any other hole in the
body. Holes for use of the glow igniter and carburetor tuning are allowed.
6.1.15 Unless otherwise stated in the relevant class rules or specifications, the rear
section of a body may be cut out as long as the rear sides and quarter panels,
including the taillights and side portion of the rear bumper remain intact It is
recommended that some portion of the cut line remain visible to help speed
technical inspection. If the body has no lower body trim line, then the fold line is
considered the cut line.
6.1.16 Body components must remain on the vehicle, except for accidental race
damage.
6.1.17 The following body types are authorized for use on the various track surfaces:
6.1.17.1 Off Road Bodies:
32
• Buggy and truck bodies used in ROAR-sanctioned events should resemble those
used in full scale off-road and stadium racing. Sedans, out-of-scale truck, and van
bodies are prohibited.
6.1.17.2 On-Road Bodies:
These include four general categories:
• Sports Cars: Closed wheel cars designed specifically for racing in full-size series
such as CanAm, GTP, WSC, ALMS, etc.
• GT Cars: Modified versions of two door street cars such as GT, GT-1, TransAm,
and T-1 Touring Cars.
• Touring Cars: Two- or four-door sedans that have competed in a full-size Touring
Car series.
• Open wheel cars: Single seat, open wheeled cars that compete in CART,
Formula 1, IRL and other similar formats.
6.1.17.3 Oval Bodies:
6.1.17.4 These include:
• American-style Modified Stock Car (includes Outlaw Wedge and super modified),
• Trucks such as those used in NASCAR Truck racing
• Sprint Cars
• Stock Cars, such as those used in NASCAR
6.1.18 All body approvals will be subject to scrutiny of the respective or collective advisory
committees regarding compliance to the "spirit of the rules." An objective evaluation
shall determine the status of each submission based on the adherence to the
principles outlined in sections 6.1.17.1 through 6.1.17.4.
6.1.18.1 Affiliate manufacturers desiring to obtain a advisory opinion may submit drawings to
ROAR Technical Director and Section Chairman for a provisional approval. A
provisional approval does not constitute a final approval. Final approval may only be
determined upon receipt and evaluation of a production body.
6.1.18.2 Modifications by the manufacturer to approved bodies are not permitted. Modified
versions of approved bodies must carry a new ID number as outlined in rule 6.1.3.4,
and must also be approved. Any modifications to approved bodies without a new ID
number and separate approval will void all prior approvals of the body in question.
6.1.18.3 At its discretion, ROAR may grant approval to any body in the absence of a submission
from the manufacturer or other entity
Are the air vent holes in front of the windshield going to be allowed to be cut out on the flo-tek SC body?

details to the body at any time. If the request is made prior to the start of any
organized practice round, qualifier or main event, the driver may not request any
additional time beyond the predetermined grace period to comply with the
requirement. Failure to comply will prevent the driver from further participation in the
event until such a time as the requirement is fulfilled.
6.1.5 Sharp or otherwise dangerous parts or features on a body are not permitted.
6.1.6 All vehicles must have a readily removable body. The body and chassis must
be securely joined at all times while the vehicle is on the track. Rubber bands
are not allowed for this purpose. If a body comes off a vehicle during a race, the
31
vehicle must be taken off the track and the body properly replaced before the
race may be resumed.
6.1.7 A realistically detailed driver figure consisting of at least a painted head,
shoulders, and arms must be mounted or molded in all open cockpit bodies.
When the driver figure is mounted as a separate item, the cockpit area of the
body must be completely covered, with no open access to the chassis of the
vehicle.
6.1.8 All molded-in windows must be clearly identified. Side and rear windows may
be cut out unless otherwise stated in class rules or specifications. Open
windshields are not allowed, except for holes defined in the relevant class rules
or specifications. A sunshade band at the top of the windshield is permitted.
6.1.9 For closed-wheel bodies, no portion of the chassis, wheel, tire, or equipment
may extend beyond the body except to the rear.
6.1.10 Openings in the body other than those appropriate to full-size vehicle openings
such as grill, scoops, air vents, etc., must be kept to a minimum. Specifically
servos, receivers, batteries, and servo savers are not allowed to protrude
through the original body shell.
6.1.11 Wheel cutouts are allowed on the side plane of the body. They may not extend
into the horizontal plane of the body. Wheel cutouts may not exceed the
dimensions specified in the relevant class rules or specifications. Wheel wells
must be cut out if the original vehicle ran that way.
6.1.12 Antenna openings in the body may not exceed .375" in any direction.
6.1.13 Cooling holes: Bodies for on-road fuel-powered cars (other than touring vehicle
bodies) may have up to 1/3 of the windshield cut out. Bodies used on off-road
fuel-powered cars may have up to 1/2 the windshield cut out. For touring
vehicle windshields, one cooling opening is permitted, limited to a maximum of
60mm in any direction.
6.1.14 Refueling holes: A refueling hole is permitted in any body type for fuel-powered
cars. The following restrictions apply:
6.1.14.1 The hole must be centered directly above the fuel tank filler neck.
6.1.14.2 For bodies where the fuel filler cap extends above the body when open, such
as Sports/CanAm or off road buggy bodies, the clearance of the hole to the
filler cap may not exceed .375” in any direction.
6.1.14.3 For closed-roof bodies, such as Touring Car bodies, where the filler cap does
not extend above the body roofline when open, the hole may be a maximum
of 30mm in any direction, and may not intersect with any other hole in the
body. Holes for use of the glow igniter and carburetor tuning are allowed.
6.1.15 Unless otherwise stated in the relevant class rules or specifications, the rear
section of a body may be cut out as long as the rear sides and quarter panels,
including the taillights and side portion of the rear bumper remain intact It is
recommended that some portion of the cut line remain visible to help speed
technical inspection. If the body has no lower body trim line, then the fold line is
considered the cut line.
6.1.16 Body components must remain on the vehicle, except for accidental race
damage.
6.1.17 The following body types are authorized for use on the various track surfaces:
6.1.17.1 Off Road Bodies:
32
• Buggy and truck bodies used in ROAR-sanctioned events should resemble those
used in full scale off-road and stadium racing. Sedans, out-of-scale truck, and van
bodies are prohibited.
6.1.17.2 On-Road Bodies:
These include four general categories:
• Sports Cars: Closed wheel cars designed specifically for racing in full-size series
such as CanAm, GTP, WSC, ALMS, etc.
• GT Cars: Modified versions of two door street cars such as GT, GT-1, TransAm,
and T-1 Touring Cars.
• Touring Cars: Two- or four-door sedans that have competed in a full-size Touring
Car series.
• Open wheel cars: Single seat, open wheeled cars that compete in CART,
Formula 1, IRL and other similar formats.
6.1.17.3 Oval Bodies:
6.1.17.4 These include:
• American-style Modified Stock Car (includes Outlaw Wedge and super modified),
• Trucks such as those used in NASCAR Truck racing
• Sprint Cars
• Stock Cars, such as those used in NASCAR
6.1.18 All body approvals will be subject to scrutiny of the respective or collective advisory
committees regarding compliance to the "spirit of the rules." An objective evaluation
shall determine the status of each submission based on the adherence to the
principles outlined in sections 6.1.17.1 through 6.1.17.4.
6.1.18.1 Affiliate manufacturers desiring to obtain a advisory opinion may submit drawings to
ROAR Technical Director and Section Chairman for a provisional approval. A
provisional approval does not constitute a final approval. Final approval may only be
determined upon receipt and evaluation of a production body.
6.1.18.2 Modifications by the manufacturer to approved bodies are not permitted. Modified
versions of approved bodies must carry a new ID number as outlined in rule 6.1.3.4,
and must also be approved. Any modifications to approved bodies without a new ID
number and separate approval will void all prior approvals of the body in question.
6.1.18.3 At its discretion, ROAR may grant approval to any body in the absence of a submission
from the manufacturer or other entity
Are the air vent holes in front of the windshield going to be allowed to be cut out on the flo-tek SC body?

The only think that might be different is if we are held to the realism rule which requires your SC has headlights and taillights painted on or a sticker

Usually there is a tiny little link on PAypal that says "confirm entry" or something along those lines you have to click and let it take you back to wheretoracerc.com and get marked paid.

Is anyone interested in the novice class for their youngsters or a newbie? I could offer it free of charge with other paid entrant. as long as they are a ROAR member through the event.
If you run novice you cant enter any other class, also any children under 12 will require an assigned marshal for them for the weekend (the other paid entrant
)
Otherwise i will just remove it from the entry signups
