The ROAR Carpet Nats have long been considered the last big indoor race of the season, before things start to head from carpet to asphault for the summer months. This year represents a large shift of venue for the Carpet Nats, moving all the way from Ripon Speedway in California out to Twin City Hobby & Raceway in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
This year, R/C Tech is actually on-site at the race, so we should have all the information you'd ever need about the race. Before the weekend is out, we'll have pictures of the track, of the cars, the drivers and more. And comprehensive results, of course, straight from the director's booth.
So be sure to follow all of the action here on our coverage pages, as well as in R/C Tech's offical 2003 ROAR Carpet Nationals dicussion thread.
