That said, most of the factory drivers want to race against the best. Preventing one of the best drivers ever to drive an R/C car does nothing other than weaken the field. I'd like to see the Nationals opened up to all drivers regardless of nationality. The result would be a better, more prestigious race.

Well said. ROAR needs to re-invent racing. By opening up Nationals to anyone willing to come, regardless of nationality, the ROAR National title would become something of prestige.

We allow foreign players to play in the NBA, which is a "NATIONAL" organization....Let's allow foreign R/C racers to race with us.
