Radio Car Racing
Should you called a hobby grade radio car a “toy,” you’d most likely get an earful from the owner of the radio car. Hobby-grade radio cars are not toys. There’s a toy-grade radio car that will be bought at Wal-Mart but you won’t locate hobby-grade radio cars on the shelves there. Hobby-grade radio cars are way more pricey than the toy-grade radio cars as well as the people who own and race hobby-grade radio cars aren’t kids.
The organization that oversees radio car racing competitions is referred to as ROAR (Radio Operated Auto Racing). The organization is overseen by IFMAR (International Federation of Model Auto Racing) and is the governing body of most electric and gas radio car racing events in the United States and Canada. Every year ROAR publishes a rule book that is the “bible” of radio car racing events which are sanctioned by ROAR. Results of sponsored competitions are posted on the ROAR website also as upcoming scheduled events. ROAR can be a nonprofit organization that provides insurance coverage for nearby radio car racing club’s members, events, and venues. The cost for every club is about $35.00 annually.
You’ll find all sorts of radio car competitions. You’ll find, obviously, races but you will find also truck pulling contests and a variety of other competitions in which the owners of radio cars participate. Regional, national, and world competitions are sanctioned are sanctioned by ROAR.
Competitions which are sanctioned by ROAR contain both on-road competitions also as off-road competitions. There are nine national competitions scheduled for 2008:
