We are not sure about this whether it is a good news or bad decision. ROAR just decided to drop the Production Monster Truck and 1:10 scale Gas truck from the National programs to ensure focus for the unanimous decision for the combination of 1:8 scale Buggy and the 1:8 scale Truck (Truggy) for 2009.
ROAR Combines 1/8-scale Buggy and 1/8-scale Truck for ‘09
ROAR, the US governing body issued the following statement a few days ago on their site:
“On April 22nd, ROAR President Dawn Sanchez met with manufacturer representatives and Fuel Off-road Committee members in attendance at this year’s Truck Nationals held at The Nitro Pit in Phoenix, Arizona. This group discussed the viability of re-combining the 1:8 Buggy Nationals with 1:8 Truck Nationals. It was decided that in order for this to work effectively, Production Monster Truck and 1:10 Gas Truck would have to be dropped from the Nationals program.
Those in attendance at the meeting were unanimous in their decision that this would be the most cost-effective method of handling Fuel Nationals. Not only would this be more cost-effective for teams and manufacturers, it would mostly help the privateer who has to go out-of-pocket for their expenses.”
For us here, no effect but what about you in the USA? What say you? Check others discussion in RadioControlzone Forum.
