Nothing like a Honda 3000 generator to provide quiet power for the mobile pit

RIP Motorsports was showing a strong presence at Steel City Hobbies - these guys
cleaned house with winners in most of the heats! Nice work guys!

RC Scoring Pro worked flawlessly as our scoring software.

Cindy handing out door prizes. She was also the race director for this ROAR event
and did a terrific job. Abby Walbrown pulled winning names from the bowl.

Mike Rooney brought this idea of using "Ice" from the Snowbirds for the turns.
Allen Stephens and Frank Dempster did a terrific job building the track for this event.

Chuck Chambers finally takes a break from tech-ing all the cars on day 1.

Racers watch as their cars are put to the test to make sure they are compliant to ROAR rules.

Bill Osborn tears down a motor to make sure it is legal.

Here is a look at "Tech" on day 2, run by Rob Walbrown and some hottie.
