For the 1st time in over a decade there will be a ROAR Nats in Canada! ROAR is re-structuring and is serious about having races in Canada. This is great news for racers who wanted to attend the IFMAR Worlds. In the past to guarantee a spot at the worlds you would have to attend and rank at the US ROAR nationals.
For racers seeking sponsorship from manufactures, a good finish at ROAR Nationals will go a long way to secure or better a deal with any company.
Not to mention its great to race against others from across the Nation!
The plans to re-introduce ROAR National events into Canada are as follows.

The location for the 2012 ROAR Off-road nats is R/C Ottawa at Sutton Aviation RC Speedway. With pitting located in a heated hanger and a domed track with a heated drivers stand, it made for the perfect location for a National event. Weather will not be a factor at this facility. It’s hard to ask racers to travel when weather could put the event at risk. With this track-playing host to one of the largest R/C events 2nd Annual Canadian RC Off-Road Championships (247 entries at the time of writing this), They know how to put a great event.
Date for the event will be October 26-28th 2012.

When choosing a date for this event, ROAR did not want to step on any ones toes. Summer months are so tough when there are so many events across the country. RCPro Nats are in September, along with many other large regional events.
