The 2008 ROAR Paved Oval Nats were held at the Carolina R/C Complex; August 6th -9th. Once again, Donnie Burnett and his Carolina R/C Complex crew did an outstanding job hosting this national event. It was good to hear Jim Duffie at the microphone, calling the races, in his usual professional manner. The crew at Carolina R/C Complex once again hosted a first class event, and made all of the racers feel right at home. Special thanks go to Sam Ledford and MIke Boylan of the ROAR RMT for their truly professional supervision and direction of the weeks activities. These two gentlemen were easily accessible for questions and were more than eager to help with anything racers needed. Thanks guys for truly professional attitudes and leadership. The racing was fast and competitive for the nitro bunch.....including the .09 nitro pan division and the .12 nitro pan division. Thanks to R/C Oval for sponsoring the .09 nitro division and for Sidewinder Fuel for sponsoring the .12 nitro division. The track surface changed almost hourly, so drivers kept chasing the track all weekend. The Nitro Mains were held on Saturday night, with a huge crowd of spectators looking on and apparently enjoying the close racing. Thanks to all who attended the ROAR Paved Oval Nats this year and supporting Donnie Burnett and the folks at Carolina R/C Complex and the Hobby Conection.  Easley, South Carolina 300 LAP MAIN 1.

Benji Wright/Team Phenom -- Fastest Lap 5.906 8. Sam Presnell/Team Hyperdrive -- DNS 9. Jason Bowden/Team Coyote -- DNS Voting members of GACAR, voted unanimously to adapt the OS15CV, as the engine of choice for the 2009 GASCAR Points Series. The OS15CV uses the same case, crankshaft, muffler and clutch setup as we are currently running on our OS12CVs. The only difference in the OS15 and the OS12, is the piston/sleeve. The increase in bore gives the 15CV a horsepower rating of .70, as compared to .56 of our current 12CVs. The OS15CV sells for $99 at Tower Hobbies. The engine will be run "Box Stock", with the stock rotary carburetor. The stock head will also be used, so after market heads will not be legal. Also, membership voted to give racers the option of keeping their OS12CVs to run in the 2009 GASCAR series, despite the lesser HP rating. This keeps those precious 12CVs in the racers boxes, to use until they give out. . Look for official engine rules for 2009 to be posted before the end of the 2008 season. Thanks to all the GASCAR members who took part in this voting process.  GASCAR will run the .09 Pro Pan Class and the .12 Pro Pan Class for the 2008 Points Series!
GASCAR will run only two classes for the 2008 GASCAR Points Series. 12 Pro Pan and .09 Pro Pan will be the only classes allowed. Please refer to the "GASCAR Rules" link on this website for complete rules for each class.  We like our racers and readers to give us your ideas and thoughts that might help make GASCAR a better organization. GASCAR is an organization run by its racers, and the majority vote of its members makes the rules. Please use the e-mail form on our "Contacts" page to send us your thoughts or suggestions. Or, just e-mail us, at the address listed, for a quicker response. Points totals for the 2008 season will be awarded for the best 3 out of 6 GASCAR races. This leaves each racer with 3 (three) throw-out races. Points will be awarded for the GASCAR "500" even though it is a "payback" event and longer race. | CURRENT 2008 GASCAR POINTS TOTALS | Editorials & Comments | | Return Home | GASCAR News | Racing Schedule | GASCAR Rules | Great Links | FAQ Page | Contact Us | Download Page | |
