The Executive Committee would like to start by thanking all the affiliate tracks that submitted a bid for a 2009 ROAR National Championship event.

With the many excellent bids received this year from some of the best facilities in the country it has been a challenging series of deliberations and decisions for the Executive Committee.

We would also like to thank the the ROAR Nationals Class Committees for their dedication and efforts in these deliberations.

The Executive Committee would like to congratulate the following facilities as host of a 2009 ROAR National Championship:

Smart....they must be trying for a lower attendance than last year.
Wife said "YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND:
YOU THINK YOUR GOING RACING,
ON MOTHERS DAY WEEKEND?"

I would have to say that I'll be sitting this one out:lol::lol:

you all should concider moving the 10th scale nats. its not good to leave for a week on mothers day

+1. I could definately see turnout being way down as a result of this!

We're looking into alternate dates for a reschedule and we should have some news for you guys in the next day or two.

Please don't move it to the following week. Omaha scheduled a TCS race that weekend to work around the nats!

This time please make it final, so we can start planning.

I was approved for vacation for that week already, so it will also impact the people who planned initially when the date was set.

Osiris, sorry, but you have to be the exception planning so soon ahead. Not a flame, just an observation. We tried real hard to make sure all ROAR Nationals dates were clear of any conflicts. Conflicts with other races and holiday's, unfortunately I just learned that the calendar I was using does not have holidays on it so I missed Mother's Day. We apologize if this causes any inconvenience, but we should have an answer on the reschedule today, and this will be the final date.

While your at it, did you look at the Nationals that is scheduled on Fathers Day?

James ..... dude ....... give it a break man, it's off road electric, you don't even race it. And are you telling me that if you wanted to go racing on fathers day your wife wouldn't let you:blush:

doh!!!

Thats a tough one! The Capital Classic is the biggest draw in June and has been scheduled for the first weekend in June. :(
