Monster Truck Rules are Official ROAR now has complete rules for both Standard and Unlimited Monster Trucks. By overwhelming popularity these two classes have become official. There are two engine size ranges in Standard, but the to engine size ranges will run together. Unlimited is basically anything that doesn’t fit the dimensions and regulations of either Standard class. You can find all the rules for Monster Truck on ROAR’s new website at http://www.roarracing.com/downloads/ROARMTRules.pdf. NEW ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT for President and Vice President The President and Vice President must have been a member in good standing for a year prior to election.

Get involved! sign up at: www.ROARracing.com officers rEPOrTS Current Affiliates continued: Administrators Column Fred Hohwart This Rev-Up is one of the most important issues of the year because it includes the ballot that allows the ROAR membership to vote for their representatives. This year we vote for Vice President and odd numbered Region Directors for a two year term which begins January 1. The deadline for nominations was extended this year to the last minute to provide time for everyone, even those with a late Rev-Up delivery, to get their nomination on the ballot. The nominees all have agreed to serve if elected, volunteering, at no pay, to serve the membership. Do your part by voting. Write in candidates will be accepted provided you have talked to the person and they agree to serve if elected. Write in elections are subject to approval of the ROAR Executive Committee. Remember that only original ballots will be accepted, except that copies of ballots for family members will be accepted if mailed in at the same time as the original ballot. To provide the best chance that the ballot reaches as many members as possible, promptly, we are mailing this issue of Rev-Up First Class Mail. Note that ballots must be received by November 14 so the results can be reported in the December issue. Remember to let the Administrator’s Office know if you have moved so that future issues of Rev-Up also reach you. n Competition Director David Lee I was very impressed with the response to my request for bids to hold ROAR National Championship events for 2006. We have all of the classes covered with at least one bid and the class committees are currently reviewing the bids before recommending selections. Additionally, the 1/18 Scale Class Committee is now coming together. Scott Hill has been selected as committee chairman and he is working with several volunteers to fill the committee. They have been tasked with determining the configuration and size of the vehicles, and will be addressing both the onroad and off-road venues. I will have more regarding this effort in the next report, including the rest of the committee members. This issue has the ROAR ballot where you have the opportunity to elect your leadership for Vice Presidential position and the odd region directors. This is your chance to voice your pleasure or displeasure with the incumbents, or to show you support to a new candidate seeking a position with your. I encourage all of you to exercise your opportunity to make a difference. n Promotions Director Dawn Sanchez Greetings ROAR Members! www.roarracing.com has a new look! Check it out and give us your feedback. The region directors will be able to update their own area with sanctioned events and soon with individual message forums for important messages for their region members. Within a year or so, we’ll have access to online balloting for advisory and board member voting and a ‘suggestion box’ for Rick to review with member ideas and comments. (of course, we would like to keep the suggestions PG-13, if you would -- ha ha!) Yes, after all you have commented to us, we did hear you. Brandon Rhode, about 2 years ago, started working on the new graphics and layout and about six months ago, Corey Cochran took over the duties of finishing the website and has taken over the helm of running it all. Corey may be reached at [email protected] if you have anything you might want to add to the site or suggestions. You’ll notice a new link to the RevUp which already has the last three for download and this one as well. The nice thing with this idea is we have the website version of the RevUp ready for viewing weeks before they are received in your mailbox! Also, there is a link for “promotions” which I haven’t utilized fully yet but you can find a downloadable version of the ‘track pack’ which was officers 2 President: Rick Wilson 535 Crater Camp Dr., Monte Nido, CA 91302 Phone: 818.591.7531; [email protected] Track Director: Kenny Bergschultz 2830 South 12th St., Sheboygan, WI 53081 Phone: 920.457.5266; [email protected] Vice President: Mike Queller 9212 Gallant Fox, Austin, TX 78737 Phone: 512.326.8481; [email protected] Technical Director: Bob Ingersoll 2921 Harlee Dr., Farmers Branch, TX 75234-5007 Phone: 972.620.0407; [email protected] Secretary / Treasurer: Randy Holst 9400 NE 121st St., Kirkland, WA 98034 Phone: 425.373.4875; [email protected] Competition Director: David Lee 1280 Timber Creek Ln., Greenwood, IN 46142 Phone: 317.859.0596; [email protected] Promotions Director: Dawn Sanchez 6207 W.

As I have said a million times in the past, don’t let the election slide by without voting. You do make a difference when you vote. After struggling with this decision, I have decided that I will not seek another term as Region Director. My term ends 12/31/05. Also, to put to bed some rumors, while I did consider this for quite some time, I will not accept a nomination for Vice President— this year.

The past couple of years have been very ‘interesting’. I thank everyone who has guided me along and offered help. I am hoping that my term has helped to bring Region 1 back on the map and to the forefront of the community. The night I wrote this is the close of the nomination acceptance period. To my knowledge, no one has been nominated for any of the odd regions. It speaks volumes to the state of things. It you want improvements, you have to be involved. Write your name in the ballot if you feel you can make a difference in ROAR—because you can make difference. I am planning the 2006 schedule so the new Director will not be behind the eight ball when he/she starts their term. I have been receiving bids for the 2006 season. I will release the schedule as soon as the Nationals schedule is released so we can be sure not to cross dates. As typical of the past couple of years, the racing schedule in Region 1 looks to be quite full again in 2006. If there are any other tracks which would like to be considered for sanctioned events, please contact me as soon as possible. But act now, space is very limited.

My racing schedule has been limited this summer as I’m in the process of moving, again and his volunteer help is much appreciated. Craig and I will continue to work together in coordinating events with Craig focusing on the off-road venues. Both Craig and his dad are committed to maintaining the highest level of off-road racing throughout the region. So far, Craig has had three new off road tracks join ROAR this year. My exposure throughout the region will increase once I have a chance to get settled by the end of October. Potential Carpet On-Road National in Region 2 for 2006. I’m still waiting to hear back from the ROAR approval committee. I know that David Lee, the Competition Director has received our request and has filed it with the approval committee. Bob VanWagner and Mimi Wong have prepared a comprehensive and well plan package to put before the ROAR class committee. A decision will be made sometime during the fall of 2005, lets keep our fingers crossed. 4 Race Reports 2nd Leg of the Fuel Off-Road Region 2 Championship Points Series: (Reported by Craig Rawling, Off-Road Director). We arrived at the Tiltyard, Friday morning for open practice. Mother Nature looked as if she was not going to cooperate. The track was really wet. I figured the race would be cancelled but Homer and crew assured me we would get the event off without a hitch. The next day practice was delayed until the track dried out after which time qualifying began. After the second round of qualifying, the top positions were as follows: Dave Saunders TQ for Monster Truck and 1/8th Scale buggy. Dave was on fire and looked like the driver to catch in both classes. In 10th scale Stadium Truck Brian Miskolcki was TQ who went on to win the 15minute A-main event by 6 laps. Unlimited Monster truck started out to be a great race. Craig Rawling was leading the race for the first 7 or 8 minutes until Dave Saunders passed him for the lead. Craig had troubles and Dave went on to a first place finish. The start of the 30min 1/8th scale A-Main was shaping up to be a great show. Chris Crews, the man to beat all season took an early lead with Justin Dyer, Mike O’Donnell and Jason Miller chasing to catch up. Just as Chris switched to cruise control, Mother Nature opened up and it started pouring. At that point Chris was 7 seconds ahead of Justin Dryer. The rain got so bad the Race Director decided to call the race, just after Chris feel behind Justin for the lead. The race was called at the 28 minute point with Justin Dyer taking the win. I’d like to thank Lisa, Homer and the Allman family for making us all feel at home. The food was great and the company even better. You have a first class facility and know how to treat racers. Also would like to thank our series sponsors TQ Fuel, EB MODS, Tony Screws. The next race will take place at Hobby Hut for the 3rd leg of the series event to determine the Region 2 Fuel Off-Road Champion. Here are the results for the event. 1/10 Fuel Truck A-Main: Brian Miskolczi(TQ), Ryan McCord, Mark Somerville, Tony West, Perry Moyer. Unlimited Monster Truck A-Main: David Saunders(TQ), Craig Rawling, Richard Sains, Victor Giardina, Kevin Parlett. 1/8 Fuel Buggy A-Main: Justin Dyer, Chris Crews, Michael O’Donnell, Jason Miller, David Saunders(TQ) Rohit Kathuria, John Warrington, Chris Codoley, Greg Heckert, Vincent Barrett. 1/8 Fuel Buggy B-Main: John Warrington, Vincent Barrett, Mark Somerville, Bubba Lee, Craig Rawling, Homer Allman, Chris Gibson, Scott McWhirt, Jack Honeycutt, Brian Miskolczi. 1/8 Fuel Buggy C-Main: Mark Somerville, Jack Honeycutt, Andrew Richardson, Brian Higgins, Eddie Hilton, Kevin Adcock, Mike DeCicco, Douglas Hettinger, Tony West. ** IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT SIXTEEN (16) OF THESE PARTICIPANTS WERE NOT CURRENT ROAR MEMBERS AT THE TIME OF THIS EVENT AND THEIR POINTS WILL BE ADJUSTED AT THE END OF THE SERIES** 1/10 Fuel Sedan Sunday, 6.26.05, Largo, MD (Coverage of this event was provided by Ted Brown). Needing only two qualifying heats to put his Mugen on the pole, Eric Jones took the top qualifying spot in the second heat with a time of 20 laps in 5:08.03. In fact, Eric and teammate Vincent Jackson would be the only two drivers to reach 20 laps in a qualifying heat. If that weren’t enough for the intimidation factor, the C-Whit racing team would also place two other drivers in the A-main. Chris Whitney made it a tri-fecta for the team rounding out the third of the top three qualifying positions, and Rhys Robinson would take the 7th spot on the starting grid. The green flag saw Rhys Robinson take the jump on the field, managing to get his car to the scorer’s gate first, followed closely by Troy Woodson, Eric Jones, Vincent Jackson, and Antwane Johnson. Rhys would hold that lead for nine laps before surrendering it to his teammate and rightful owner Eric Jones in lap 10. The race would have no clear favorite early on. The abrasive but even surface of the FastLane R/C race track together with daunting 45 minute length of the A-main led spectators to wonder if pit strategies and tire wear would be a factor in the race. By lap twelve, things looked to be working perfectly for the C-Whit racing team with the top four positions going to Eric Jones, Vincent Jackson, Rhys Robinson, and Chris Whitney respectively. On lap 24 however, it became clear that things weren’t going to go as planned. Vincent Jackson pulled into the pits for what would end up being a 51 second pit stop. This moved Whitney to third. Rhys Robinson would find himself in a battle for fourth with Troy Woodson, and the quiet but skilled driving of Dennis Treyes allowed him to put his Serpent 710 into second place. Dennis would find himself chasing Eric for the rest of the race. Jones pulled as many as a 4 lap lead on the next closest competitor (Dennis Treyes) and the Amain figured to be a run away, until lap number 91 when Eric pulled his car into the pits, for what must have been a tire change. The Treyes-driven serpent pulled to within one lap of the leader, but with fresh tires, Eric would be impossible to catch. Vincent Jackson, after having fallen as far back as 8th place on lap 27 because of car problems, would get his car back on the track and gain 5 positions to third place over the course of the next 117 laps. Anybody who’s seen Vincent race, knows that no lead is safe if he’s on the track with time on the clock. Kobey Calloway got into a battle with Vincent for third while Alex Sharak managed to run in the fifth spot a good portion of the race. Seven of nine cars would finish the 45 minute main, which is a testament to the skill level of the competition in region two. But, the real story is that at the end of the day, the podium held Mugen, Serpent, and Kyosho respectively. The checkered flag saw Eric Jones, Dennis Treyes, Vincent Jackson, Kobey Calloway, Troy Woodson, Rhys Robinson, Alex Sharak, Antwane Johnson, and Chris Whitney in that order. Also notable, was Gerry Evans, who, after having qualified poorly, drove a brilliant C-main, and was poised to take the b-main, but his car just couldn’t take the beating of back-to-back races. Amazingly however, Kevin Johnson, won the B-main even after having lost a front right wheel with over five laps left in the race. Race officials did not black flag Johnson, because he somehow remained in complete control of the car, even on three wheels. The 2005 ROAR Region II 1:10 scale sedan regional race was as exciting as any race in the state of Maryland. And, with the competition and skill that was displayed on this day, I can wait. Next stop, Kissimmee. Special thank to Ted Brown, Steve Bennett, Melvin Pridgen, Steve Nottingham of FastLane R/C. Great Coverage!

Thanks go to Dale Benton who got the race in quickly as the treat of rain loomed in the distance. J.W.Housley was the class of the field in Stock and won by nearly a lap over Alan White and Tracey Lambe. Rick Talbot outlasted Steve Downs and Johnny Broyles for the 19 turn win. Andy McClellan looked poised to win Modified until he was involved in a crash that collected the second place car of Jeff Helms. That allowed Brian “Ziggy” Ziegler to cruise to the win.

We’ve got a few regionals and Nationals coming up. Hopeful to make the electric on-road Nationals go as smoothly as possible I’ve been in contact with Joe Freitas several times each week. I know I’m looking forward to this event and it should be event free. Several weeks ago (Sept 3rd and 4th) Speedline hosted a warm up race. Unfortunately it was during the aftermath of Katrina and the real high price of gas. I as well as many Floridians wish the best for all those from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Having a Tornado hit my business last year I do know what they are feeling. You just can’t C Race Club 13310 Mustang Trail, Sunshine Ranches FL 33330 USA Site: Mills Pond Pk, Ft.

[email protected] explain that feeling—I know I can’t. Anyway we had about 50 plus racers show up for the warm up race. It did not rain during the qualifying or mains (it did rain Saturday night). The new ROAR website is up and running. Hopefully the region 4 section will list the current races coming up. I’ve just got to get the time to do it. By the time you read this it will probably be done for the remaining part of the year. At this time if your interested in hosting a region race for 2006 now would be a good time to get those bids to me. For some Off Road news there has been some talk that the Minnreg club and Lake Park are merging into a new club. Also the electric Off-Road Region race date is still yet to be determined. Talks have been for possibly hosting the race in the first 2-3 weeks in January (at the latest). We’ll keep everyone posted. Some bad news for the Nitro On-road guys—the Sunshine Bandits have shut down their Lakeland Track. I’ve always heard great things about this club and their track. It’s to bad Florida has lost another great track. Florida St. El. Auto Racing Assoc 1561 Ardenwood Ln., Deltona FL 32738 USA Sites: Various/Series, 386 532-6204 [email protected]; www.fseara.org Probably by the time this comes out the electric on-road nationals at Speedline will be over. The date is October 6th-9th and there is already over 160 racers entered. Both Joe and I have had many conversations about some of the possible problems we might encounter. Hopefully we have covered everything by the time of the event. Also coming up is the fuel open on-road nationals held in Kissimmee on November 3rd-6th. The FSEARA state series race at Fast and Furious was successful. The last race of the year is set for MDI at Royal Palm Beach on November 12th-13th. This is also the date for everyone that wants to host a state race for 2006 to attend. We also vote on proposed rule changes for 2006.I would also like to commend Izzy Santiago our state director for giving up racing in the actual series to just directing the series.With this dedication you can see the difference at each race this year. Well I know this is a short news section for me but I’m waiting on the few people to send me some information about the various series. Maybe next issue, until then see you at the nationals (electric that is). —Bill n MB Racing [email protected] 835 Dougherty St., New Smyrna Beach FL www.speedlinehobbies.com 32168 USA Site: Strickland R/C Park Strickland R/C Park 386 427-7416.

In this publication of Rev-up you will find the ballet for Vice President and the Region 5 Director. Please take the time to vote and let your voice be heard. This is your chance to elect the people you feel are best for ROAR and R/C racing. Let’s get out the vote and show that we care and are concerned about our Region. You will notice that my name is not on the ballet. The reason is simple and the decision was easy to make. My family needs the time I spend performing the duties of Region Director. Although it does not take an enormous amount of time when I add the Region Director, Electric off-Road Committee, and my club responsibilities it became over whelming. I promised to complete Kenny’s term in office and I have honored that promise. What’s happening in the region: As of the last publication of Rev-up, Region 5 has become the second largest region in ROAR. Region 12 is the only region with more members. This is due to the clubs, series, and racers believing in ROAR and their vision in what ROAR brings to the R/C table. I continue to believe that Region 5 has the best racers in the country (Although I am a bit biased). The activity in the Region this year has exceeded my expectations. The support from the clubs, series directors, and racers has been and continues to be fantastic. Last year we had just a couple of sanctioned races and this year we have scheduled seven races and I’m still working on a few others. Although seven does not seem high, that is a 300% increase over last year. A.O.S.C.A. 1708 Empire Road, Wickliffe OH 44092 USA Site: Hobbytown, Mentor; Wiseco Piston, 440 944-9966.

And on October 29 is the Illinois State Off-Road Electric Champs hosted by Redline R/C Raceway. Please show your support by attending these races. Region 5 Off-Road Gas Champs: On August 13th JCP RC in Indiana hosted the ROAR Region 5 Gas Off-Road Championships. This was in the middle of the heat wave that hit the Midwest and it was hot! The outdoor facility was ready for a regional race and the racers that showed were as well. The race went on without a hitch and the JCP crew did an outstanding job. Once the dust settled the winners are: 1/8 Scale Buggy—Kevin Wilson, Gas Truck—KJ, Monster Truck—Bryan Seitz. 2005 ROAR Michigan State Championship: Redline Racing R/C Track was pleased to host the 2005 ROAR Michigan State Championship. A great time was had by all, a lot of great competition, between a great bunch of racers. Rain on the scheduled practice day (Friday) left the track well watered and in great shape for the races on Saturday (electric) and Sunday (nitro). Congrats to all the winners.

Thanks John, let me know the details on this so I can pass it on to the racers, so they can keep an eye on the next publication. P.S. One other detail maybe worth mentioning, the club had decided to donate $5.00 from each registration for the state race to the American Red Cross for hurricane relief. 59 entries equals a $259.00 check to the Red Cross. We had hoped this might spur more entries and the club felt good doing it. God knows they need all the help they can get. You can go to www.rcxxx.com and get some feed back on the state race on the message board. It’s a message board that seems to center around r/c interest in Michigan. Thanks, Glenn Lee—Redline Racing R/C Track Thank you! I want to thank you for your support this past year. The region was grown and I hope that the awareness for ROAR role has grown as well. The time I have spent as Region Director has been enlightening and I have met some great people. I have found a new appreciation for the other forms of R/C racing that were once unknown to me. Region 5 is full of passionate racers and they all seem to love this hobby/sport. n Planet RC Raceway The Nitro Farm 4375 Sellers St., Lawrence IN 46226 USA N 3268 Schmidt Rd., Jefferson WI 53549 317 377-0690.

Arkansas ● Louisiana ● Mississippi I was always told as a child to “save the best for last.” I hope that you will forgive me but I am going to do the best part FIRST! For the first time in many years a ROAR State Off Road Championship was held in Arkansas. Wolf Pack Race Track was host to the 2005 ROAR Razorback State Off Road Championships. Controlled practice was held Friday August 19, 2005. Racing was scheduled for Saturday August 20 and Sunday August 21, 2005. The weather turned out beautiful. The competition was very serious. But, no one lost sight of the fact that we were supposed to be having fun. The starting gate worked flawlessly. This device makes starting gas vehicles evenly, a snap.

Normally, when people evacuate from the coast, they come to Jackson, MS. Jackson, being almost 200 miles north, is normally a safe place to hide from hurricanes. NOT THIS TIME! Small Cars Unlimited lost the roof from the front half of the building. Stuff got wet. Many in this area still have no power. However, no one is complaining. Many people south of us have lost everything. When your house no longer exists you are homeless. When your place of employment no longer exists you are jobless. What is there to go back to? Counting our blessings has become a survival tool. n [email protected] Small Cars Unlimited 820 Cooper Rd., Jackson MS 39212 USA 601 372-3278 [email protected] www.smallcarsunlimited.com Rick’s RC 2353 Airport Rd., Hot Springs AR 71913 Tri-City RC Racers USA 501 767-2238 1147 Oak Harbor Dr., Morgan City LA 70380 USA Site: Hwy. 90 E., Patterson. 985 384-4202 [email protected] www.tricityrc.com Wolfpack Track & Hobbies 3256 Airport Road, Pearcy AR 71964 USA 501 760-1739 [email protected] www.wolfpackracetrack.com Gladstone Gassers RC Club PO Box 127, Gladstone ND 58630 USA 701 483-7071.

First, here are a couple of race reports: On June 5th, one of this region’s longest lasting clubs, The Over the Wall Gang, hosted The 2005 Nebraska State Off road Championships. This race serves as a model of what all State Championships should be. The race was well organized, well attended, fun, and most importantly, it took place in one day. There were several heats of most classes, and all three rounds of qualifying were exceptionally close. The last round had determined most of the top qualifying spots. Jerry Doherty stood atop of the Stock Truck field, while Dale Nysven dominated Modified Truck. Matt Nelson was the leader in the up and coming Novice class. Alex Sturgeon (yours truly) led the field in both Mod and Stock Buggy. The head to head racing in the mains was intense. Jerry Doherty had to battle through a few early mis- takes to overcome Josh Halte for the Stock Truck win. Shawn Stanger followed them up in third. There was no stopping Dale Nysven in Modified Truck. He checked out and left Brian Cox and Over the Wall Gang President John Schoenauer to maintain their 2nd and 3rd place finishes. Matt Nelson won the Novice class over Matt Deboer and Ron Clark. The novice A-main was one of the most fun races of the day as parents and relatives of each of the participants cheered the whole way through. Matt Nelson drove a clean race and avoided most of the pileups. Alex Sturgeon took the Stock Buggy title. Taylor Rohleder and Tim Marco rounded out an all Team Associated B4 top three. Modified Buggy turned out to be the closest and most exciting race. Dale Nysven patiently followed Alex Sturgeon nose to tail for the entire five minutes and was clearly the fastest car on the track. On the last lap he made his move and nudged Alex over, but turned himself around as well, which allowed Brian Cox to get in the mix. The marshal separated Alex and Dale right in front of Brian and the three freight trained to the line just as the end-of-race tone whistled. One more lap and Dale Nysven probably would have taken it, but instead finished second, with Brian Cox third, and Alex Sturgeon with another win on the day. I’d like to thank John Schoenauer and all the officers and members of the Over the Wall Gang for taking a leap of faith to host its first ROAR race. Check out the club’s website sometime, http://users.conpoint.com/ jschoenr/. If you’re interested in hosting a State race it’s as easy as me saying so. It would be cool if every class in every state had a champion. The 2005 Region 8 Fuel Off road Regionals took place this year at Novelty RC Raceway June 17-19. The Novelty Crew did a great job of hosting the 60+ entries and provided a fast and smooth layout to race on. One of the most interesting things about this year’s race was the monster truck turnout. With the ROAR rules still in question, (*see promotions note) rules were borrowed from the RC Pro Series, splitting unlimited and standard monster trucks apart. There were 23 standard monster truck entries. *Promotions note: Provisional MT rules were posted on an easily accessible website and they were announced in early 2005 as to their location and proper usage. Official MT rules can now be found at www.roarracing.com and in .pdf format for downloading. These rules will be found in the 2006 ROAR rule book. 3 rounds of qualifying took place on Saturday. At the end of the day Alex Sturgeon TQ’d both Gas Truck and 1/8 scale, Kenny Belcher stood over the mounds of Standard Monster Trucks, and John Taylor held the top spot in Unlimited Monster Truck. Those not in the A-main still had a shot through the bump ups for the top two in each of the lower mains. Ed Gaines and Ben Burtle made the show in 8th scale, Mike Sanders and A.J. Lamb moved up from the Gas truck Bmain, and J.R. Sanger and Jason Cleeton climbed their way into the Standard Monster Truck A-main. 45-minute mains awaited those fortunate enough to survive qualifying, and the mains proved to be harder than ever to finish. Only a handful of drivers in each class drove the entire race without incident. The Gas Truck main started out fairly smooth, but on the 8th lap, TQ Alex Sturgeon broke allowing Aaron Pucci to secure the lead until he broke out on the 24th lap, leaving Cameron Martin to coast to the win. Only half the field remained when the final tone rang. Brad Cunningham finished second and Adam Wellman finished third. In the Standard Monster Truck main TQ Kenny Belcher had problems and eventually bowed out on lap 51, 24minutes into the race. Brad Cunningham drove his LST to the win one lap ahead of Bill Nichols in second and 3 laps ahead of Steve Campbell in third. Production Monster truck was interesting to say the least. At one point all three of the drivers were off the track. After 45-minutes all three drivers were running, but they were separated by about 20 laps apiece. The final order was Ron Harrison first, TQ John Taylor second, and Jason Cleeton third. 1/8 scale not only saw the most drivers still running at the end of the race, but also the closest race. TQ Alex Sturgeon relinquished the lead early and never got it back, but kept it close finishing only seven seconds behind the winner, Aaron Pucci. Nick Haberberger finished third only a few laps away. Most of the drivers not running Proline Knuckle tires or something similar finished the race with no tread left on their tires, literally running slicks for the last 15-20 minutes of the race. The popularity of nitro off-road racing in our region is undeniable with the Kyosho and Mugen races drawing some of the biggest crowds of the year. With a big thanks to Rex Franke and all the Novelty crew that organized the event, the nitro off-road regionals will continue to grow and be a mainstay of our region’s calendar. Visit their website at www.noveltyrc.com. Now for some news and pleas for mercy. The 2006 Carpet On road Regionals are February 17-19 and the 2006 Carpet Oval Regionals are March 3-5 at Fastlane Raceway in Blue Springs, Missouri. Shane has made some vast improvements to the facility, and if the races are anything like last year’s races it is really going to be something great. The 2005 Electric Off road Regionals should have taken place by the time you read this and I’ll have a full report on it in the next rev-up. The 2005 Paved On road Regionals took place at Fastlane in August. You can find the results on rctech.net on the Fastlane thread in the regional forums. I’ll see if I can talk Mark Z or Shane into a full report for the next rev-up, if not I suppose I could always fake it. One thing I’d like to say is that even though the turnout was small, it is only a starting point for the future and I appreciate all that attended. I would like to have all of next year’s races in place by the January issue of Rev-up. Please, please, please get in touch with me if you want to host a regional or state race, otherwise I’m going to track you down anyway and ask you. The races I need to place for next year are the electric and nitro off road regionals, the dirt and paved oval…yes, I said paved oval regionals and the paved on road regionals. I want to rotate these races around to all the various tracks as best I can, so don’t think your track couldn’t get a race because you might be surprised. That’s it for now. Keep in touch with me.
