Well this should be a message to the new elected officials, if Roar is going to survive there has to be changes made. Being made to be a Roar member just so you can race at a certain location is not good enough. If that is the case well great state that, don’t make Roar out to be more than that. Roar is here for promoting & racing rules. Based on lack of votes it’s not working out very well. Just my opinion. I wish the new Admin well; hope they can turn some things around.

ROAR
That is a miserable turn out.
No excuses for that
Out of over 3,600 members, approx. 300 votes.
Plus they could have voted on-line.
If this is the way the elections will be in the future, then possibly some type of penalty for members who do not vote, or a reward for the ones that do.
For voting members, take $5.00 off the yearly membership, or penalize the ones that did not vote by charging them an additional $5.00 per year. Not a lot of money, but it may intice some members to vote next year.
It took all of about 10 min to log in and cast your vote.
The ones who did not vote have no right to bitch or complain about the way ROAR is run, or any changes that may take place which they do not aggree with.
Pretty sad actually

Well I voted-- I hope ROAR is serious about correcting some of the problems that create this lack of participation. I think they need to look at being a lot more "frugal" with the members money. ROAR should be about promoting racing---not sending "Spec Teams" out all over the country to run a race!! Running the races needs to be done by the LOCAL regional director--keeping expenses down for a race instead of charging them $5,000.00 to send in a race team!! ROAR races are run under ROAR rules--end of discussion. It doesn't take a "Team" to make that happen--just one regional director and a current rulebook. Put the money saved back into ROAR---promote the hobby for everyone!

The RMT is the best thing that has ever happened with ROAR.
National races are run professionally and are consistant year to year.
The tracks that host nationals actually turn a profit and can spend more time promoting the race.
As a RACER I want to be assured that the national race I'm going to is going to be worth my time and investment.
The RMT assures that.
As a track operator that has hosted two national events already and about to host a third, I know that if I'm awarded a national event it's going to be worth the effort, not putting me out of business.
Companies like Traxxas, Team Associated, HPI, and Losi are doing a pretty good job of promoting the hobby. We have more exposure now than I can ever remember.
As long as ROAR is in the black, I'm perfectly happy with the job ROAR has done with, not only the RMT itself, but the structure that is in place for the nationals.
I would hate to see the nationals guidelines go back to what was there before the RMT was developed. I know I would never bid on another national event ever again, and I would think really hard before I attended one as well.
