Hi guys,

I just got off the phone with the hotel (Comfort Inn)

4171 Boatways Rd
Fort Myers, FL
(239) 694-9200

I was able to have her call the Corporate office and get us a rate of 71.99/night

I also want to let you guys know that Anthony S. helped in this with emails as well. There are 20 rooms blocked off for the event. After that they are going to charge the normal rate, what ever that is at that time. About 20% more from what she said to me on the phone.

When you call tell them the code is (RC Car Race)

Regards,

DJ Apolaro

Attention GT Racers. This is going to be the first time for GT racing at a ROAR Nationals. Who is going to be the 1st GT National Champion? You wanted ROAR to do this class now is your chance to prove GT racers are for real!

• Two-speed transmissions must use an automatic centrifugal shifting mechanism that is not remotely adjustable or programmable. Because of the nature of the two-speed transmission design, no center differential is required, but the transmission must include a solid center shaft that doesn’t allow differential action between the front and rear drive assemblies.

• Spec tires chosen by ROAR will be mandatory at all level 4 and level 5 events. Input from the host facility regarding favored compounds for track conditions will be considered, but the final decision on spec tires will remain with ROAR. The best interests of the racers will be the overriding criteria in choosing a proper spec tire. Financial, sponsorship, and/or business relationships of the host facility cannot be considered.
• All races must be completed on the same tires used to start each race (qualifying and finals). Tire changes are not permitted except when a wheel and/or tire are determined by the race director or a ROAR official, to be damaged. Excessive tire wear does not constitute damage
