We have an agreement with the "Courtyard by Marriot" in Leswisville. Racers can ask for the "Mike's Hobby Shop Rate" when calling 972-316-3100 or use code MH9 in the Corporate/Promotional code box online at http://www.marriot.com/dalll

I have always wondered if people that want to race more than one class want to do so because they want to compete twice or they want the extra track time? Would racing one class be acceptable if you got twice as much track time in your one class?
Just a quick look at the '11 LRP Master's schedule shows that their quick schedule (practice starts 1PM Friday, last main runs 4:15 Sunday) gives each driver 4 rounds of practice, 5 quali rounds, and 2 leg lower mains and 3 leg A mains.
That is quite a bit of track time in a pretty tight time frame. ROAR should look into increasing track time if they are going to run fewer classes.

If you are looking for a hotel that is walking distance away from Mike's HS, you can go to Google Maps and type in "Hotel near 1201 N Interstate 35e, Carrollton, TX" and you will find a handful of hotels within 3 blocks of Mike's HS (See A, B, and C below).

I have a couple questions...
1. How many sets of tires can I get tech'ed for each class I enter?
2. How many Lipo batteries can I get tech'ed for each class?
3. How many bodies can I get tech'ed for each class?
4. Will the tech inspectors be more stringent on the WGT class, and less stringent on the Expo classes (ie. VTA and F1)?

For those newbies to a ROAR event. Make sure you rough cut your bodies and do the final trim after going through tech the first time on Friday. ROAR follows there rules to the letter. Ex if you cut the rear bumper on a TC body to high or mount your body to low and it does not meat the roof height requirement you'll have to paint a new body.
All none MOD class motors will be tech-ed as well. I'm fairly certain every motor out there today follows ROAR rules but it may be a good idea to download the Rule book from ROAR's webpage and check your motors before going to the race.
Make sure your ESC, ESC software version, battery, and body are on the roar approved list.
With there being only one day for practice you won't have much time to make corrections.
