What this means to you as a driver is that you need to decide in advance what your budget is and just how experienced you are with engines and RC racing. Vehicles may be restarted during the Main Events, however, under no circumstances are the pit crew allowed onto the racing surface to retrieve a vehicle, nor are turn marshals allowed to assist in restarting or repairing any vehicle. The driver must be entered or pre-entered prior to the event before the first qualifier begins to be allowed to run any Main.
How RC Car Racing Works
Governing Bodies: ROAR
(http://www.roarracing.com/core.htm)
ROAR (Remotely Operated Auto Racers) has been the official North American sanctioning body for racing RC cars since 1967. ROAR is responsible for producing and maintaining fair rules and for organizing race teams that represent the US and Canada at the International Federation of Model Car Racing (IFMAR) World Championships.
Made up of 19 regions in the US and Canada and their representatives, ROAR has been making the rules for RC car racing for more than 35 years. These rules are designed to promote fair competition and define the equipment allowed in ROAR races.
Though ROAR does not run races, it does sanction races from the club level to the National Championships. It is important to note that if international racing is your interest, ROAR is the only organization authorized to qualify and send drivers to the IFMAR World Championships.
The strength of ROAR lies in local clubs spread throughout all 19 regions. Clubs pay to be sanctioned and to be covered by the member accident and liability insurance. Weekly competition in the local clubs provides racers with ample time to practice, and prepares competitors for the State, Region and National Championships.
Individual annual membership in ROAR is , which includes a copy of the rule book and the ability to vote on important rule changes, as well as insurance coverage for ROAR sanctioned events.
ROAR also provides extremely detailed specifications for enginesif youre planning on racing seriously, it is best to build your RC along these guidelines, to prevent having to make difficult changes later. Size outlines for both nitro and electric cars and all the regulations governing official races are also given.
