As you can see there is no metion of stock anything. That is an old rule that was obviously never enforced and since its null and void now that there is nothing called stock it should be removed.

No clarification needed on this rule. There are no stock classes being offered. There is 17.5 13.5 and Mod touring as well as 12th scale.

8.8.4.3.1 ROAR Stock motor: Only three slot “Y” wound stators are permitted. No delta wound or slot less stators are allowed. Only circular (round) pure copper magnet wire permitted.

The resistance for each slot of the stator shall be tested and a minimum resistance figure will be determined upon submittal.
Just saying...

I see in the rulebook where they define that no stock or sportsman class currently exists, however "stock" motors are defined as 17.5 turn.
If 17.5 is not considered a "stock" class at the Nats, then I would argue the D3.5 is a legal motor, as the class is not defined as "stock" and therefore is not required to meet the ROAR rules for stock motors.

The problem with the "sponsored" thing is who is to determine who is sponsored. If I gave you a top part for one of your cars does that make you sponsored by TOP?
Could someone sponsored "drop" their sponsorships and then just get them again after the race was over. Who is to say what being sponsored really means?
This is not something clearly definable as a wire size.
It would be nice if we were talking about the race and how awesome it is going to be rather than arguing about rules. Roar obviously dropped the ball on a bunch of these rules and their enforcement.
Here is my opinion. Let everyone race and start enforcing the rules in 2014. There is obviously hundereds of precedence over the last few years that show that most of these class rules are a joke and need to be defined more clearly and rewritten to be more specific like most of the Roar Rulebook.
If you take everyone that has any type of sponsorship out of stock there would be 3 racers in each of those classes.
Either way I hope that this conversation can wind down on this thread and we can get back to talking about how awesome this race is going to be and now on how to ruin it?

I didn't even know about this deeply buried, unenforced rule... so I could've cared less about it before it was mentioned. However, as someone who deals with policy and law on a daily basis, I am sort of a stickler for the rules, so... if there's a discrepancy, we need ROAR to clarify this issue so that we can go back to talking about how great of an event this will be.

Not sure what you are saying.....
ONLY AT A NATIONAL EVENT....
1. So do you feel a Mod National Champ should be allowed to run a 17.5 class, if they have not won or placed 2nd in the past 5 years (Paully, Ralph, etc...)?
2. So do you feel that a 13.5 National Camp should be allowed to run a 17.5 class, if they have not won or placed 2nd in the past 5 years?

Confused...
We all know who the fast guys are.
If they want to be the next 17.5"champ" and their sponsors are cool with that ..good for them....it was not going to be me anyway...
I run with the some of the fastest on road guys every weekend (we all run 17.5)...most of them have some sort of full or semi ride.I don't... It has made me faster..and I get pro level help.
Seeing there was no type of sportsman class..I too assumed 17.5 was "stock".
Guess that is not 100% true.
Yea..It may make it harder for an out of pocket guy to get noticed.
I would guess if you do good against a stacked field...it will be appreciated.
It is what it is...I don't care...Fun will be had.
It's too close to the race to point out flaws with the rules.
There are some obvious ones that need to be clarified.
Let's all make the best of it and hope for change in the future.
It should not effect the event in any way...It's going to be awesome.

Yes.... you are correct 
.... As I stated that in the first line.... I was just asking.... not picking... asking....
But it does not matter... The whole thing is pointless......
And just for the record, this was not a comment directed at you, just in general...
