New ROAR rules Short Course class announced

In response to the explosion in popularity of the Short Course class and in preparation for the Reedy Truck Race of Champions, I'm happy to report that as of the next club racing series, Hot Rod Hobbies will be offering a ROAR rules Short Course class, in addition to the current "open" class. Here is a PDF of the provisional rules, courtesy of ROAR's website. Aside from meeting measurements and weight requirements, trucks will be able to run either LiPo or NiMH batteries, with a 27t brushed or 17.5 brushless motor. These are the rules that will be used for the Short Course class at the Reedy Truck Race of Champions - there will be no "open" rules class at this event.
