Todays sponsor spotlight is turned to our exclusive and illustrious title sponsor, Cry Baby Racing RC and David panter. Crybaby may be new to racing over the last couple of years but David had been around since the wiper arm speedo days when we were both kids racing. Crybaby has built a large team and following in their short years but David and crybaby fully support all tracks and races with sponsorships, donations and such. Be sure to checkout https://cry-baby-racing.myshopify.com/ to see all the items the produce and carry.

Without sponsors such as crybaby racing we would be hosting the largest Roar carpet on road nations in over a decade with 231 entries as of today with a few more coming tonight.

Thanks to all our sponsors and ROAR Racing for having the nationals here at apex.

Just to let everyone know. Track will be open tomorrow, Tuesday, for pit setups only. 5pm-10pm. Doors will be locked if you show up before then.

If there is a name on a pit spot it is taken. DO NOT MOVE SPOTS. I have charts from the sponsors and you are in the spot your sponsor wanted you in.

DO NOT MOVE CHAIRS. The chairs over by the slot cars stay by the slot cars. Sorry but that is just house rules. If you want to sit in one of those chairs you must pit on that side of the building.

Todays 2023 ROAR Carpet Onroad nationals sponsor spotlight is gonna shine on our own superstar friend and racer Charlie Menard, Menards Factory Racing (MFR and Menards.

MFR and Menards are the sponsors of the 13.5 12th scale class this year, which is our 2nd largest class! MFR and Menards has been a supporter of all 3 nationals we have hosted here at APEX Raceway and this year is no different. Anyone who knows Charlie knows he's very laid back and quiet but he is the absolute nicest guy in the world too! Shirt right off your back kinda guy that everyone loves to hangout with. Just dont get in his way on the track....he will make you earn that spot!!

While Charlie cant attend this years race we are very happy he has chose to support the event and sponsor the 13.5 12th scale class. We appreciate him as well as all our sponsors. While MFR doesnt have a website I can direct you over to www.menards.com and you can do a little shopping at one of the many Menards stores around the country! Better than lowes, home depot and walmart all together!

Thanks again Charlie!

For todays 2023 ROAR Carpet On Road nationals sponsor spotlight we shine it on TQRacing products and Ralph Morella! Ralph has always been one of the first, and usually the first, to sign up to sponsor our races here at APEX! Ralph's generosity in the RC community extends far beyond just us and our races but he is a part of nearly every big race in the country!

TQ is the proud sponsor of 17.5 12th scale, which is also one of Ralph's favorite classes!!!

Anyone thats been in RC, or slot car racing for that matter, knows the name TQ Racing or TQ wire as its popularly called. Ralph has been making the best wire on the market for decades now, or so it seems! He started providing it first in slot cars and then moved over to RC to provide us with the most flexible wire and best sensor cables there are. His charge leads arent too shabby either!! Visit www.tqracing.com to see everything Ralph has to offer.

We deeply appreciate Ralphs friendship and support over the years here at APEX Raceway!

TQ Wire - The Best in Custom Wire Products

Just want to go ahead and let all the VTA guys coming to the ROAR carpet nats we will NOT have VTA tires. They have been on backorder with Horizon for 2 months now and the date has been moved out to 2nd week of March. Same with bodies although I think we have a few of each Camaro and Dodge bodies here.

Todays sponsor spotlight shines on Gravity RC and Paul Lemieux! Fittingly Paul is sponsoring the USGT class that exclusively uses his tires and motors across the country! Paul sat out years ago to provide a tire for a new class that worked and lasted well. He did that and has now came out with a belted version that works even better on the high grip tracks. A few years ago it was decided to make that class even easier make a spec motor that has tight tolerances, only available from one person doing all the QC to keep them even and the USGT Gravity motor was born!

Go visit Paul at www.teamgravityrc.com and see everything he has to offer under Gravity and the Motiv brand!

Thank you Paul for being one of the first to step up and support the 2023 ROAR Carpet On road nats at Apex raceway!
