| The ROAR 2010 Indoor Carpet Nationals were held March 25 to 28 in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Track hosted this race which was put on by Mimi Wong. In the usual Mimi style, lunch was supplied for the racers Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; donuts on Friday and Sunday mornings. She made the ROAR officials feel welcomed. |

The course was a non-permanent indoor carpet track. The track was green on Thursday and reached a medium-grip by Saturday. The first three rounds of qualifying took place on Friday, the last three on Saturday, with the Mains being raced on Sunday. Chris Goetz performed the task of race announcer for the event. He did a great job. There were 7 classes run that weekend:
Sportsman Stock Rubber
17.5 Foam
Mod 12th Scale
12th Super Stock
Super Stock Rubber
Touring Mod Rubber
Vintage Trans Am |

| Most of the racers arrived on Thursday. The turn-out was lower than in the past several years. The event attracted not only local racers, but a small contingent from Ohio. Josh Cyrul made the trip from Michigan, and Keven Hebert arrived from Canada to make it an âśinternationalâť event. Two highlights of the weekend: Chris Goetz driving Josh Cyrulâ™s car and Paul Rushâ™s âśOne-Armed Banditâť win in Trans AM. The race results were as follows: |
