Shortcuts on This Page Race Day Schedule | On-Road Class Rules | 1/10 Electric Touring | 1/10 Nitro Touring Sportsman (Novice) | 1/10 Nitro Touring Pro | 1/8 Scale Pro On-Road |  Nitro Monster Truck | Ready to Run Class General Rules It is the intention of the Virginia On Road Racing Assoc. (VORRA) to promote family-oriented racing. With this in mind, unruly or un-sportsmanlike conduct (intentional hammering or rough driving, abusive language toward other racers, turn marshals etc.) will not be tolerated. People found to be in violation will be given only one warning. You will be asked to leave for a second offense. People under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be asked to leave. All racers and pit members are required to have (and show proof of ) a valid ROAR membership. Membership applications are available at the track, and can be found on the ROAR website at www.roarracing.com. No one under the age of 12 is allowed to pit a car or turn marshall without written consent of the parent. Club Safety Rules, written or common practice, are to be followed at all times. VORRA members & non-members are responsible for maintaining safe conditions for everyone (drivers, pit personnel, spectators, etc) while at the track. This includes keeping your pit area free of trip hazards. The arbitration codes/guidelines apply to disputes between VORRA members resulting from violations of club safety rules, or damage to property or persons during the operation of radio controlled cars and trucks, or conduct unbecoming VORRA members. All drivers are responsible for their own tables, chairs, tools, cars, tnets, and any other personal belongings brought to the track. VORRA does not accept responsibility for personal belongings or damage resulting from such belongings. (Secure your tents!) All radios should have changeable frequencies and at least one alternate set of frequency crystals. Two sets of alternate frequencies is recommended. No radios are to be turned on without a frequency pin in place. Anyone who turns on a radio without a frequency pin will be given only one warning. You will be asked to leave if there is a second offense. All racers MUST track marshal the race immediately following theirs, or have an eligible replacement. You MUST let the race director know of the substitution. Anyone who does not track marshal will be assessed a penalty lap. Racers must remove their car from the track immediately after their race to permit the next race to be started. All loaner transponders are to be removed and returned to the race director, and the car placed on the table beside the race director. This is to help with accounting for the track marshals and our equipment. At no time, can cars be run anywhere outside of the track barriers. Anyone running their car outside of the track will be asked to leave. This is to reduce the chance of damage to vehicles and spectators on the lot, and is required through our agreement with the parking lot owners and insurance company. Updated:(3/29/06) Racers will be charged a $25 entry fee ($20 if you are a club member). When a racer arrives at the parking lot before 9:00 am and helps to set up the track he/she will receive $5 back. If he/she help to take down the track, he/she will receive $5 back resulting in a $15 race fee for ($10 if you are a club member) for the day. There will be a $5 charge for each additional class a paid participant enters. This fee does not include ROAR membership which is an additional $35 for a complete year's membership. ROAR memberships are available at the track. When re-fueling, the car must be removed from pit lane and refueled behind the wall. Any repairs to cars (this includes re-starts) must be done outside of the track boundaries. If repairs are needed, the engine is to be shut down while repairs are made. After the car is serviced, it is to be placed back onto pit lane so it can move safely back onto the racing surface. Only one pit man will be allowed to service a car within the pit lane area. All cars must run a body that is securely fastened to the car at all times during the race. Electric races will be 6 minutes in length. Nitro heats will be 5 minutes in length. Nitro mains will be 10 minutes in length. Races will consist of 2 qualifying heats and a main event. All racers will race in a main. Winners of lower mains will be permitted to bump up into the next higher main . There will be a 5 minute warm up period in between heats. In case of frequency conflict, the lower qualifier will be required to change. Switching drivers during qualification or mains is NOT permitted. Switching cars during the main event is NOT permitted. The car you start with must be the car you finish with. Classes listed below are guidelines. If we have any other class that wish to race, they will be allowed to do so if time permits. Any class that has 4 or more cars will run in their own class. Classes that have less than 4 cars will be combined and run together, but scored separately. The race director reserves the right to not allow un-scheduled classes depending on weather, time restraints, lack of cars, etc. The schedule for race day is arranged to try to allow for as much practice and race time as possible. Races can be delayed a few minutes if necessary, but if time is running short, the race director reserves the option to not allow a delay in the start of the race . We will try to stick to this schedule as closely as possible. Please note that during daylight savings time, we will loose 1 hr open practice time. Example- open pratice, sign up will only be until 10:45 instead of 11:45. Also, remember every effort will be made to have the track setup before 10:00, so everyone should still have more than enough practice time. Race Day Tentative Schedule: 8:00-10:00 Track setup 10:00-11:15 Open practice, sign up, & lunch (you provide, not us) 11:15-11:30 Driver's Meeting (MANDATORY) 11:30-2:15 Qualifying heats 2:30- ?? Main Events On-Road Class Rules Although the club allows a "run what what you brung" philosophy to achieve the most enjoyment for our racers, we do have a few simple class rules that are designed to keep cars competitive and the races more enjoyable for everyone. 1/10 Electric Touring car: Electric Classes are 17.5 Stock and 10.5 Pro Stock Production "full scale" model car sedan only (no Can Am, GTP, WSC, or Lola style bodies) Any electric sedan chassis 190mm or less (no truck chassis' with car tires on them) Maximum car width with body: 190mm.

Ready to Run Class:

1. The Ready-To-Run class will be classified as a car that came with everything needed to run it (fuel excluded for nitro cars). In order to run this class, it will have to run exactly as it was originally sold with a few exceptions. These will be: body, tires, rechargable battery pack may be substituded, and fail-safe is highly encouraged to be added if it didn't come with the kit.
   
   We are going to keep the mains and qualifiers at 5 min. There will be no trophies for this class because they will not be part of our points series. Since we are trying to keep this a beginner class, I think this will keep the non-newbies out of the class. If you're running sport/pro/1:8, you cannot run this class also.
   
   
   Also, the RTR class will cost ONLY $10. a race. If you help set-up the track, you will only have to pay $5. to race. If you help tear-down the track, you will get $5. back so if you help set-up and tear-down you will then have raced for free.
   Can't get any cheaper than FREE!!!
   
   Also, frequencies may become an issue since RTR cars usually come with a limited number of freq. In order to help this we highly encourage everyone to bring 2 sets of freq. with you to the track. If you don't undertand what i'm talking about, take your car to your local hobby shop and they will get you what you need. If we still have a freq. conflict, we'll have to do first come(first registered), first served.
   
   And we will separate nitro and electric. However, it will be up to the score keeper/member-at-large/club officers to combine them if we have a situation where there is something like only one nitro and one electric. That type of thing will be worked out on race day.
