Sorry to here that.
Listen , we thought,and thought about it, but until Roar and Usvta are using the same rules, it would be a cry and complain fest.
We tried running Vta at the 2011 asphalt nats and we couldn't fill a heat with our locals and the out of towners.
We think the classes that are being run will make this one of the most exciting and one of the most prestigious Roar nats.
This Roar nats are being put together by racers, and national level racers I think(lol).So we have a pretty good idea what racers want.It'll be a lot of fun, and thats what the nats should be

Please clarify whether a person can run BOTH stock ( 17.5 ) and Mod at this event ?
( Since 13.5 TC is available but is an "exhibition class" , it makes this rule less than perfectly clear ! )
That being said , thanks for posting the classes. They look good, I hope to make this race !
Cheers,
Jake D.

Has anyone confirmed that you cannot run stock and mod classes at this race? That will play big into peoples class choices regarding Mario's question above.

What VTA crowd? We either have no vta class or one heat on a weekly basis. And when we do have a heat most of them only run VTA. Which is fine but they most likley would not come to the Roar nats and spend 1000 bucks to run VTA.
We wanted the classes that would draw the most entries. In December for our Toys for tots race we had nearly 30 13.5 12th scales.

there isnt a need to be mean or bash any class...that goes for VTA racers and non-VTA...you dont see the F1 guys bent out of shape...
Thanks to ROAR for having VTA at past ROAR events and we hope to get back in there again soon...
And yes, the USVTA Southern Nationals and the Scale Nationals are our Super Bowls of VTA...and new Championship races catering to VTA all the time that will have plenty of support for USVTA racers...
Hope the ROAR Carpet Nats are a great event and that its alot of fun...cya soon
