It's actually somewhat different.....the straight is longer, and they made a few areas before turns longer, its different enough to meet the guidelines.

Hi friends. Greetings from Malta.
May be a stupid question but I don't know your rules.
As this is a National, is it only open to US Nationals or will there also be overseas racers - Masami, Hara, Spashett etc.
I know there are ways round it everywhere. We have raced in other countries Nationals simply by paying membership to the National body of the country concerned. I actually used to do this in real car racing too.
Looks like it's going to be a good event.
SHANE. Great job again, but we have learnt to expect no less from rctech.
Re Corally car, I suppose it's the new twin belt car they ran at the Euros 2 weeks ago, and which went so well.
Good luck everybody.
Regards
Joe from sunny Malta.

Matt is correct you have to live here for 6 months. There will be a state race at the worlds track next month( anyone can come as long as they are a Roar member-you can join at the race[weekend membership available]. The residence requirement does not come into effect at that race ). Good luck team Corally!!!!

Layout aside, I haven't heard anybody here complaining about the quality of the track. I think it's a non-issue. There is so much practice time (4 total days) and so few people (relatively) that track time is not going to be a problem whatsoever.
Hara has been living in the US for close to a year now, so he certainly qualifies for the Nats.

Club hosting a ROAR Nats
I have to admit I was at first worried about a ROAR nats at a non-permanent track.
However, two key things:
1) The folks here are doing a great job, better than most hobby shop staffs. As an example, the driver's stand (which is actually a trailer so they can take it from site to site) is excellent.
2) The club here in Portland also does a great job of publicizing the sport. They actually managed to get a TV news crew here this morning who showed a split screen of one camera following some cars and another one from a helicopter overhead.
