We are in the middle of our Nationals season and are
seeing places that ROAR can improve for its members. The entire ExCom is in middle of important and
serious discussions about establishing a Nationals
Management Team. This team would take complete
responsibility for the running of the race. No longer
would we have to deal with a lack of consistency in
the management and handling of the event. We the
ROAR officials can be responsible for making consistent and fair judgments for all 10 nationals. We would
be in charge of the teching of the vehicles, scoring
(with our own computer and scoring systems), qualifying, rules judgments and all decisions that could
affect the outcome of the race.
In turn we can make sure the track hosting the race
makes a fair amount of money for having the event.
The track owners and administrators will no longer
have to bear the impact (financial or judgmental)
of hosting the race. ROAR will step up and take the
responsibility to hosting the best nationals profits
will be turned over to the host tracks.
We believe this will provide not only better racing
but make more tracks interested in hosting nationals
for ROAR. This will give us more and better options in
putting the races at the best venues and the ability to
move the Nat’s around the US so all ROAR members
have a chance to attend.
There is also discussion in some sort of qualifying
system or at least mandatory attendance at level 3
events to be able to attend the Nationals. We want
to make sure the racers who attend nationals have a
level of experience to understand the rules and racing experience at a level 4 event.
The nationals need to represent the best ROAR
has to offer. Situations in the past number have years
have exposed the weaker aspects of the current system ROAR is proactively looking to grow from these
experiences and move in the right direction rather
than just more of the same. ROAR is working for you
our members. We want you constructive input. We
want to advance the fun in racing at every level from
you local club races to the Nationals our premier
events. n
We continue to send out renewal notices to remind
you when your membership is expiring. These are
timed to arrive about 2 weeks before your membership is due. Sometimes the post cards get lost in the
mail, so check the address label on your Rev-Up, it
always gives your ROAR number as well as membership expiration date. Send your renewal in directly to
ROAR as soon as you get the reminder, or 2 weeks
before expiration and you won’t have any problem
maintaining continuous membership. Waiting to sign
up at the next race can often delay your membership
60 to 90 days, an inconvenience if you want to race
elsewhere again after that race.
We continue to see the growth of ROAR, both individual memberships and ROAR Club affiliations and
our financial condition continues strong as reflected
by the financial data included in this Rev-Up.
These improvements are a reflection of the
increased interest in competitive racing and the
excellent club insurance program ROAR provides
for those willing to put forth the effort to run a club
race program. It also reflects the time and effort the
Executive Committee and Region Directors have contributed to improve ROAR and make it a success.
Nomination forms are included in this issue for
Vice President and odd numbered Region Directors,
and Canada, to serve 2 years starting in January. A
change to the ROAR By-Laws approved last October
includes the following requirements for eligibility
for the office of President or Vice President: “The
President and Vice President must have been a member in good standing for a year prior to election. Each
must have had at least one year experience in one
of the following prior to being nominated for office:
Region Director, Class Committee Member, Executive
Committee Member.” If you want to nominate someone for one of these positions, make sure they agree
to accept and are willing to devote the necessary
time and effort to the job so we can continue to
travel the successful road of the last several years.
The nominees will appear on the ballot included in
the October-November election issue of Rev-Up and
the results of the election will appear on our website

Competition Director
David Lee
I want to start by thanking the interested organizations for submitting bids for ROAR National
Championship events for 2006. I received many
submissions directly after my last report, so your
response to my request was very good. The nationals
bid process is functioning as you read this report and
I am confident there will be some great events for
your participation in 2006.
I also have received some interest in change by
the membership. Some have asked for longer races
in electric because the current type of battery has
larger capacity. I have received requests to add new
types of batteries, called LiPoly, to our racing venues.
I have heard discussions from pro drivers that feel
the best thing to do in electric racing is to somehow
slow down the cars. There are some interesting
points to support each of these topics. A comparison
of the pros and cons of all of these points is required
to determine the best direction ROAR should take
regarding each topic.
I will start with the LiPoly battery. ROAR has
received a letter from a product supplier of these batteries, so dialog has now begun to address all of the
issues. Let me list a few of them for you that I am currently aware. First is the discussion of safety related
to our application of the product. The batteries that
I have seen and used consist of a jell contained in a
flexible, possibly fabric, covering. I have personally
learned that overcharging these cells lead to a swelling of the battery, and I am sure that the covering
would eventually rupture. I have been told that the
jell will immediately ignite into fire once exposed to
the atmosphere, so it appears to me that this battery
must be evaluated carefully. We need to determine
if the battery can be safely charged in a way that
supports the need of “quick charging” in preparation
for a race. We also need to determine if the battery
can be supported and protected in the car so that
a driving accident will not puncture or rupture that
covering, exposing the jell to the atmosphere. That is
what I know or have been told so far. There may be
more safety issues like this that will be identified in
the future. But please also consider that the current
round cells and the LiPoly cell do not have the same
voltage rating. It doesn’t appear that combining
these two battery types in the same race is viable.
More later.
The next topic is to consider lengthening the
electric races. There are some good things related to
doing this, but it would also create other problems.
The Competition Director considers what is good for
racing. I have observed and competed in many onroad and oval events and offer this to the discussion.
We can adequately determine a race winner within the
current time frames allowed for each class. As it stands
now, there are only 3 people out of 10 on the same lap
at the end of a stock oval main. We are running 30 laps
in stock touring car on-road mains. That also is enough
time to validate a winner. The other side is that increasing
race lengths produce a time issue for the host to finish
the program. The point here is that all the points must be
considered and compared to establish what is best for all
involved. That includes the drivers, the racing equipment,
the host of the event, and ROAR.
Finally, there are comments that the cars are too fast.
Radar speeds in modified touring and modified 1/12 scale
on carpet with over 70 feet straights are in the mid to high
40 MPH range. Stock speeds in the same tracks are now
at the mid 30 MPH range. I remember the same measurements in 1998 had the modified cars straight lining at the
same speeds currently attained in stock on road racing.
People that I respect have now come out and said this
is too fast. That there are few people in the world that
are capable of consistently controlling their cars at these
speeds. And there isn’t any place for the new, novice, or
junior driver to compete because they are not ready to go
that fast, irregardless of the car. I will be observing this
situation very closely and willing to take opinions from
the membership if this situation is true, if it is an issue,
and what can be done to bring electric on-road racing into
a window of safe, reliable and competitive speeds.
Good luck to all as we move to the last half of the 2005
racing season. I look forward to meeting and conversing
with all members at the upcoming events. n

Their second event was a mammoth turnout on
7/3/05. It rivaled the largest events in the country. It
is clear that the northeast is ready to host racing fuel
on-road events on a national level. Here is a report
provided by the club: The day started out like any
other and turned out to be quite different in deed. As
I arrived to the track roughly 15 tents already set up
and guys working on their cars already greeted me.
The track was set up but just needed to be blown
off and sprayed for traction and give the track a bit
of bite. As the day moved more and more cars truck
vans and all other means of transportation showed
up. We had visitors from Maryland, Virginia, Boston,
and as far as Carolina and a few Floridians. The
day turned out 105 racers for the day and an actual
number of 101 racers. The day was amazing and
turned out to be a scorching day as well as one hell
of a race day. Each and every main seemed to have
an A main quality about it. Even the electric turn out
which is normally very low was a bit better and sustained the same characteristics as the fuel powered
big brothers. The event prename the July 3rd blow
out was more than anyone had expected. We carried
a total of 11 heats in all. So many racers that data
entry was now a fulltime job and took away from
the day’s event but that was the only downside. The
evening topped off by trophy presentations and fire
works over the water as a few of the racers and our
local members stayed and chatted during clean up.
The entire event was a total success for RC, which
is the main reason the club was formed. FANATIC
REMOTE RACERS AND BROOKLYN HOBBIES hosted
one serious RC extravaganza and will be doing so
with every event scheduled. Hope to see even more
people at the next blast.

RC Madness hosted the Electric Off-road Regionals
on June 25 and 26. As usual, Chris Marcy produced
a flawless event. The track layout was well thought
out. RC Madness is just simply one of the good
places to race. Double A’s were run across the
board. Mark Westerfield is now won 2 consecutive
modified 4WD Regional Championships. Rob Meyer
was a force all weekend and won 3 of the 4 classes
he entered! Some notable people in attendance
were 1/12 National Champion Mark Strasnick, Eric

Championship events and the 1st leg of the Fuel Off-Road
Championship Series Regional Event. Steel City Hobbies
hosted the Carpet Oval Regional and the Fastlane R/C
Club hosted the 1/10 Fuel Sedan Regional.
I’m pleased to announce that Craig Rawling has been
appointed the Off-Road Region 2 Director. Craig and I will
work together in coordinating events with Craig focusing
on the off-road venues. Craig is a seasoned R/C enthusiast
and his volunteering for the position is much appreciated.
Both Craig and his dad are committed to maintaining the
highest level of off-road racing throughout the region.
Potential Carpet On-Road National in Region 2
for 2006. The Track in Gaithersburg MD has put in a
request to host the event. Bob VanWagner and Mimi
Wong have prepared a comprehensive and well plan
package to put before the ROAR Nationals committee.
A decision will be made sometime during the fall of
2005, lets keep our fingers crossed.

Race Report: Carpet Oval

enhance the overall turnout Steel

returning a ROAR titled oval event to the Region. Check
out their website to see what upcoming events they have
scheduled. Mike Rooney of Steel City has a great deal of
experience in marketing and promotion outside of the

1st Leg of the Fuel Off-Road Region 2 Championship
Points Series: (Reported by Craig Rawling, Off-Road
Director)
Well region 2 is shaping up to be a series to talk about.
Region 2 has the best drivers in the east coast. Pasadena
held the first leg of a three leg series race. Everything went
very smooth and no problems to report. The 10th scale
class was great to watch. Kevin Ganoe again put on a great
show. Todd Lewis was right behind on Kevin’s tail until
he had car troubles. The 1/8 scale racing was very close.
Chris Crews was first and Jamie Grayek was close behind
and shaping up to be a great race. Chris Crews had car
troubles and Jamie went on to a first place finish. Monster
Truck was on fire. Anthony Wilkins drove the pants off of
his Hot Bodies to a first place finish. Want to thank Tony
West and Binky for putting on a great show. Want to also
thank TQ Fuel, Embods and Tony Screws for sponsoring

Region 3 Champions
Coming up in November
are elections for odd number regions. I am not running
for re-election this time but I do
have a couple of people interested in the position. I still don’t have a firm commitment from either but hope to soon. Anyone else
interested should make sure they are nominated
and get on the ballot. I wish I had more time to
devote to this job but I just don’t. I would however
be interested in remaining as an assistant director
to whoever wins the election.
I would like to welcome RC Motorspotrs as the
newest Region3 sanctioned track. RC Motorsports
is located near Nashville, Tn and have carpet oval,
on-road, and off-road tracks. You can find them on

Florida
It’s Summer time here in Florida and Mother Nature is
rearing her ugly head early. Lucky for us the On-Road
Nationals are being held later in the year than usual.
Something else I’ve noticed in the last 6 months our
Florida ROAR membership is going down from last year.
What I think is the problem is the Oval Series. They are
not a ROAR sanctioned series this year and I doubt they
will. All the other series are affiliated and growing. The
other thing bad right now is the weather and having to
possible canceling a local or state race till later. There
are some that will never do anything with our organization—I just went to his website a few weeks ago and
read the statement. Is it about time to let it go (1986) or
remember 1995?
I’m going to stray a little bit more than usual by bring
up some subjects the On-Road committee has been
discussing for awhile. (factory drivers, 19t motors and
batteries). Before we go further these are my personal
beliefs not ROAR’s. We have been discussing this for
several months.
Factory Drivers: having been around for along time I’ve
seen a lot. Trying to describe a factory driver good luck.
We’ve also got 50% guys and many small R/C companies
and also hobby shop sponsored. How do you get the
list? Are you going to get the complete list- no ringers?
I doubt it. A lot of races I’ve been to they have ringers.
I’d say the 50% guys only get some things at just under
what everyone else can buy them for. Or maybe you
get some stuff free and have to pay 50% for others.
Remember 50% is the suggested retail prices not the
price you can get it on the street. So you can see the
dilemma on trying to come up with a solution.
19T motors: Well one company started the motor- Trinity,
Thank you. Then ROAR made the rules for his motor. To
my knowledge it has never been submitted for approval.
If it was we would not have any problems (but it’s not).
I’m speaking about the on-road/off-road motors with 24
degree fixed timing. Since that time others have come
out with motors with either a different type of wind and
or a regular shaft. What to do? I say by January 1st 2006

no motors submitted it can’t be a legal class.
If we need to change the way it’s wound then
lets do it, shorter (regular) shaft again do it.
Just how long does it take to have the manufacturer to submit a motor for approval. It’s
been several years already. You got a solution
let me know.
Batteries: Everyone got new batteries coming out. Our
year process works fine to me—it’s not the battery of
the month. Now everyone complains about the batteries
being bigger and it’s ROAR’s fault. Its our specs—wrong
it an international standard. Look the R/C business is a
lot smaller than the electric tool business. If the batteries
are made for the many electric tools and the batteries
don’t fit there battery holders who fault is that. Who
going to buy the most batteries—electric tools. Are they
going to tell them to re design there tools to fit there
batteries—I doubt it. The Battery company are going to
have to re design them. When I first start racing we were
using 1200’s and now legally there is 3300 in the same
case. With the Li-poly batteries coming just how long is
it going to be before things are really going to get thrown
into a spin?
Who’s coming to Florida- everyone shortly for two of
the biggest ROAR Nationals. Coming up September 3rd
and 4th Speedline is hosting a warm-up race. Then on
October 6th-9th it’s the Nationals at Speedline (Electric
On-road). Coming up in November 3rd-6th is the Fuel
Open On Road Nationals at Kissimmee.
Dateline “The Florida On-Road Gas State Series” has a
new website, http://www.forgass.com. They will also be
celebrating their 30th racing season in September. Last
year was a record breaker for attendance.
The 2005-2006 schedule is as follows:
September 24th-25th—Lakeland
October 29th-30th—Kissimmee
December 10th-11th—Miami
January 14th-15th—Fort Myers
March 4th-5th—Lakeland
April 1st-2nd—Kissimmee
April29th-30th—Fort Myers (Sour Grapes/trophy
presentation).
Dateline Stricklands (Daytona Beach) for the Florida
State Electric On-Road Series. Where else but the
famous place for speed should the Series celebrate our
25th anniversary. They also started a hall of Fame with
the first 4 members being inducted.
Bill Fraden has been with the series since 1981. In 1995
he won the Digger class and in 1996 the Legends class.
He’s also been the region director for the past 14 years.
Troy Schafer has also been a pioneer with the state
series. In 2000 he was the 19t modified class Champion.

He also been a Class director and the series director.
Bob Hall is a multiple times champion in 1990, 1991,
1992, 1996, 1997 and 1998. He was also the state series
director until 1998.
Our Honorary Member is Eddie Herrmann. He was one
of the first pioneers to help establish this great series.
Back in the beginning he also help save the series
after our big meeting in Orlando. He won the Legends
championship in 2000. He passed away (3 years ago in
September) and left us our dream to continue this great
series. Both his wife Linda and son Butch came down for
the day and accepted his award. Soon we hope Butch
will again be racing in the series.
Something new again to the series was a special race
with the 1/10 pan cars (stock-6 cell). Maybe we’ll see this
class return in 2006?
With the wild weather we have been having lately we
held the induction ceremony around 10:30. About half
way thru it started with the sprinkles from above. That
didn’t last to long about a hour. We got one complete
round in before it started raining again. So we set up
for two qualifiers on Sunday and the mains. Funny thing
happened Sunday morning. Leaving the restaurant at
the hotel and it was pouring. Go down the road to the
track and it’s never rained a drop. Anyway Sunday went
on without a problem. We also picked up a new series
sponsor as they showed up all the way from Atlanta GA
Team Much More. Here are the A main results:
Touring Stock A-Main: Mark Burt, Ben Griffin, Michael
Abraira.
Novice Touring A-Main: Austin Harrison, Kyle Calking,
Larry Marshall.
Touring 19T A-Main: Ben Griffin, Rob Michael, Steve
McNichols.
Touring Mod A-Main: Paul Wynn, Jeff Brown, Greg
Hunsinger Jr.
1/12 19T A-Main: Eddie Shaffer, Charles Bone, Hector
Garcia.
1/10 GTP A-Main: Tony Padilla, Mike Bean, Bill Fraden.
Dateline Ocala: Someone we have not heard from in
a long time ORCCC. It looks like Danny Mayer got the
city/county to give them a section of the Ocala Regional
Sportsplex for there new home. On April 30th they
hosted a free race with 25 old friends coming out to race.
They are presently working on the electrical system to
provide power for everyone. The track also has an irrigation system to help things out. I always enjoy reading the
reports from Bonita Hamilton- keep them coming.
Also In Ocala- Jacks Hobbies will be hosting his last Onroad state race on July 16th-17th. He’s sold the building
and the track. His new shop will not have a track- that’s
ashame. I’ve enjoyed racing at his track these past two
years. Until next time. Have Fun-it’s Racing time. n

What’s Going On In The Region: Well the
Region continues to grow in membership &
track affiliations. This year we have 4 Regional
races scheduled/run and 2 state races scheduled. I’m currently working in a 5th regional and two
more state races. I want to thank all the members
and track affiliates for their continued support.
Why ROAR: Why ROAR? I get this question almost
every time I’m at the track. It maybe “Why should
I join ROAR”, “What made you want to be Region
Director”, or “What has ROAR done for me”.
Below is a response I made some time ago on
the Internet, with a few edits, and I hope it gives
you an understanding of why all of us should care
about ROAR.
The one question that always comes up is “What
do I get for $30”. If you look at the car/truck/buggy
that you race, you see what you already have. Also
every day you spend at the track you see what you
already have.
The cars/trucks/buggy’s that we race all (99%)
based upon ROAR specifications. This helps level

the playing field so that racing is as
fair and balanced as possible. If you
want to see what could happen to
racing without rules, just look at
the Monster Truck class. It is a fun
and growing class but is no consistent specifications between trucks
or how to race them. (Although
ROAR now has a set of proposed rules
through the help of many knowledgeable racers).
Once you get to the track you benefit from ROAR.
You know the rules (Some call them guidelines) on
track specifications and what is expected of you. I’m
sure you have traveled to race and it is a nice feeling
to know what to expect when you visit a new track
for the first time.
So far you have benefited in equipment and race
day programs and have not spent a dime. Those of
us who do join carry the monetary burden for those
who don’t join. It is not an issue to me to carry this
burden because I fully understand where racing will
be in a very short time without rules.
Once racers understand the greater good that ROAR
is providing, for the most part, they are happy to join
and help this hobby/sport we all enjoy. With the $1000’s
we have invested, not spending $30 to support racing is
loosing focus on what really matters.
I have found that ROAR is what you want to make of
it. If you want ROAR to be a pain, then sit home and

stress about every little rule in the book. But if you
want to support the hobby, help build and maintain
a fair set of rules, or you just want to get involved,
then ROAR is there to help & support. It takes
effort but without the people behind the tracks,
the race directors, local clubs, Sanctioning Bodies,
and people that just enjoy helping, we would all be
spending our weekends doing something else.

2006 Regional’s:
All right, it’s time to get the 2006 regional races
scheduled. I would like to begin to see the first set
of “Bids” in by November and hope to have races
scheduled Sometime in December.
These races don’t schedule themselves, so please
lets get those bids in. If you don’t run a track, ask
them to hold a regional. Feel free to lean your help if
it will make it easier for them. These are your races
so lets have them were YOU want! Remember ROAR
gets $0 for regional races, the host track keeps 100%
of the entry fees. n

Well, well, well. It’s time to write another Rev Up report. I
would like to take this opportunity to thank Fred Hohwart
for the little reminders that he sends me. It makes me
look like I can remember EVERYTHING! HA! Thanks Fred.
All Mississippi State Championships were scheduled
in June this year. Small Cars Unlimited Ran its first race
on its first racetrack in June of 1988. Do the math – that’s
17 years! So the State Champs were also an anniversary
celebration. To the racers who have come and gone, and
especially the racers who have never left, THANK YOU
FOR MANY PLEASANT MEMORIES.
June 11, 2005, The Magnolia (that’s Mississippi to you
Yankees) State ROAR Off Road Championships were held
at Small Cars Unlimited in Jackson Mississippi. It was a
typical Southern Summer day. If you didn’t bring shade
to pit under, you should have brought some sunscreen
(maximum strength).

the threatening sky and thank God for letting us finish the
day. GOD GOT A STANDING OVATION. Everybody clapped.
Kool! Five minutes after everything was done (including
emptying the trash cans) the rain came down in buckets.
In Mississippi we call this a “frog drowner”.
June 25, 2005 was the scheduled date for the
Magnolia State ROAR Paved Oval and Paved On Road
Championships. The weatherman said that we were
going to get wet. The day arrived, dark and gloomy. Toni
started cooking breakfast for everyone and we all felt
better. I told everyone, that if all we did was eat, talk
about racing and reschedule the race date, it would still
be a good day. When the time came to start racing, we
were still dry. At the drivers meeting, I said that I would
be pushing everyone to be ready early. If we were to get
rained out, I wanted every racer to get at least one qualifier. After the first qualifier, we tried for a second set and
completed it. When we completed the third qualifier we
were all surprised. We set up for the Mains in record time.
The day looked like night. We even turned on the lights.
When the Mains were complete, I asked everyone to pack
up first, and then come to the store where we would hand

We had so many sedans this year that we may consider
having a Sedan only Championship next year. Let’s just
wait and see. If individual lap times or any other race
details are desired, these can be seen on the

These two events were very special to me. Not
only was the anniversary special, but the fact that
NO ONE GOT UGLY made the day extra special.
In the last Rev-Up issue, I welcomed Rick’s R/C
in Hot Springs Arkansas to our region. Recently,
Rick has had a heart attack. He is on the road to
recovery. I know that we all wish him to get well
quick! On top of his fight to recover, Rick now has
another problem to contend with. Rick’s R/C store
was broken into and burglarized. I understand
that he lost quite a lot. I know the feeling Rick, it
has happened to me. Makes you want to go out
and hurt someone doesn’t it?
I think that someone must have spilled some
“R/C enthusiasm” seeds in Hot Springs Arkansas.
Wolfpack Race Track (named after the local football team) is up and running. These guys really
seem to have it together. They have a great looking track, an auto count system, and a fantastic

In the last Rev-Up I warned everyone that I
was going to do some “arm-twisting” in hopes
of having State Championships in Louisiana and
Arkansas. Before I could check with anyone, the
powers to be at the Wolfpack Race Track in Hot
Springs Arkansas submitted their bid for the
Off Road State Championships. The paperwork

Championships.
Track owners BEWARE. I would like to see more
State Championships. Paved Oval? On Road?
Louisiana Off Road? I am still in arm-twisting
mode! Yours in racing, Ed Hill
Hello racers, On May 28th, I ventured south to
the DFW area to watch the running of the 28th
Annual Texas Biggie. The event was held at the
RCRCNT site in Rendon, TX. After driving thru
several rainstorms I arrived
at the track to very few racers
and rainstorms that hadn’t let
up all day. So the first 3 rounds
of qualifying was a wash. Sunday
proved to be very different, with sunny skies and
no rain in sight. After 3 rounds of qualifying, the
tq’s were Mike Swauger in 1/10 sedan and in 1/8
4wd and Heinz Meyer in 1/10 4wd. Monday started
with lower mains and some very intense racing.
But mother nature showed up again, starting with
showers, then the track crew drying the track, and
then she decided that no other races were to be ran
by producing a downpour. Main events up to the b
mains were run by then, but daylight was running
low by then. The A main events were decided by
qualifying order and awards were passed out. With
the level of racing being this good at the Biggie, I
can’t wait to see the Sedan Nats. The racing ought
to be very good.

I have received reports from only 2 Region 10 Tracks. If
you do not see anything about your track and would like
to, ask your track to please send in a report to me. I can
not report what I do not know.

Dear ROAR Region 12 Tracks owners, Thank you to
those who took used the proper channels in obtaining ROAR sanctioned events. This is my first year so
it took a little longer to get the races scheduled and
for us to get acquainted with each other. There has
been some confusion in the past about the process of
obtaining a regional race, and one thing I would like
