2009 ROAR On-road NATS are in the books!
The 2009 ROAR On-road Nationals are in the books. And when I think back upon the weekend only one word comes to mind. AWESOME! I am so proud and excited that RCCars.com sponsored this wonderful event.
"The gate" crew along with everyone at ROAR did an amazing job of putting this race together. Not unlike the cars racing on the carpet, the entire event was run like a precision machine. The racing was kept on schedule, the racing was tight and sportsmanship was the name of the game all weekend. Several times I witnessed drivers pull aside and let a racer pass them due to contact or an accidental crash. The drivers wanted to earn their titles with clean racing ,and that is exactly what they did. The skill level of all the drivers at this race was astounding. I heard several drivers saying that they have never been to a race with this much talent. This was especially apparent when the names of the "C" and "D" mains were called, and there were many recognizable drivers called. I repeatedly found myself at the edge of my seat during the last thirty seconds of several of the races, as the lead position changed over and over again, and drivers battled it out until the very last second finally resulting in a very excited winner! Race after race, the finishing positions were separated by "Point zero-zero's", just a few inch's. I can not wait for the next big ROAR race, and I can't wait until "The Gate" finds a new permanent location so I can dust off my 1/12 scale car and get some carpet racing in! On a side note, "The Gate" crew deserves an extra round of applause for pulling this race off. Directly after last years Halloween race their permanent track's location flooded, and the owners of the building decided that they did not want to fix the building, and the club was evicted. This left the Gate racers with no home and worse, no where to hold the 2009 On-road NATS. ROAR still believed in the guys from the GATE, and with a lot of work, the guys found the location, and set up a world class track. Hats off guys! GREAT JOB! I will have all the final standings emailed to me tomorrow morning buy the guys at the ROAR office, and I will post them as soon as they come in. Until then, here are some pictures that show just how much of a quality event the 2009 ROAR On-road Carpet Nats was! ALSO, I was able to video almost all of the "A" mains, and I will have them posted by tomorrow night. So please check back! |
