I might have missed the details, but its RP30s, monster stocks and C2 right? Whats the current Roar battery limit? I can't keep up with what they do anymore.

Is there a Chilis with 2 for 1 night near the track? It would be like a flashback of the birds then lol

McSmooth

If they go by the rules and by-laws, it should be 3300 maximum until the end of 2005. Any battery changes would go into effect on January 1st.

However, the rules and by-laws hasn't stopped ROAR and the Excomm from following proper protocol before......

croy

There is a chilis about 2 miles north of the track.

Oh yeah...Been there several times...LOL

I can assure you that the rules will be followed while I'm there. I've been in constant contact with Joe and several members of the Ex com. Only 3300's : will be allowed. So far there has not been any of the other batteries submitted yet.Even if there were it's Jan 1st,2006.

There has been a lot of baggin' on ROAR lately but rest assured this race will be different. Speedline Hobbies is the first stop on the Florida State On Road Series. Speedline's State races normally draw over 150 racers. The owner is a former factory driver and knows how races are supposed to be run.

Barry Baker, Masami Hirosaka, Billy Easton, Mark Rheinart and Chris Tossolini tested at Speedline before the Worlds last year.

The track is smooth, traction is high, layouts are always fun and challenging.

This is going to be a great event!

I thought I saw somewhere that there is a FL state series race the same weekend as the scheduled warm up. Is this true? If so, do most guys plan on doing the nats warm up or state series race.

Some of us were thinking about the drive down for the warm up. I take it that the warm up track will be prepped (not layout, but procedure) the same as for the big one? Hopefully the 'canes won't affect either weekend.

FSEARA and Speedline decided to make that race a pure warmup not a State Race. It will be a great show as many factory team driver have already said they are coming.

Thanks for the reply Adrian. We didn't want to come all the way down and race a club type race if there was another event. We were hoping to use the race as a "see where you stand/how much work needs to be done" type race. Looks like we will get what we wanted. See you FL guys there.

Is there any practice on Sept 2, the Friday before the warm up. Is there a schedule posted for the warm up weekend, practice times, etc.
