This years ROAR nationals will take us into the mountainous area of Pennsylvania. The track is actually kind of in a valley in the mountains. The track is mostly made up of white powdery dirt a lot like that of the Nationals in Colorado a couple years back. The only difference is, this track see’s more sunshine and the dirt can go from low traction to super traction in a matter of a few hours of hot sunshine. The track itself stays together and really doesn’t break up all that much. It can get a bit dusty, but with the right moisture,...

Neo Buggy 2012
Harper Adams
BY: BILLY EASTON
This year the Neo buggy was back, as expected to bring you some of the best racing you can try to wrap your mind around.
The layout this year was a little more technical than the last couple years that I have attended. Although it looked pretty straight forward, you add the slippery track conditions to the equation and you have a very technical, precise layout that will take some serious skill to master.
