Welcome to the Anchorage Radio Operated Auto Racing Association (AROARA). We are a non-profit organization commited to promoting the hobby of radio controlled auto racing in Southcentral Alaska. Keep an eye here for the latest updates and be sure to visit our forums for information on our club, technical information about r/c racing and much more.

Winter Racing is Back!!

It's a Holiday Miracle! AROARA is fortunate enough to have a huge space to race this winter! We will start the winter season with racing on December 9th and December 16th. We'll take a break for the holidays and resume racing on January 6th.

Fees will be $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Each additional car will cost $5 for members and $10 for non-members. Information on club membership can be found here. Additionally, for insurance purposes, racers planning on participating on a regular basis must have a ROAR Membership. You do not need ROAR membership for the first race and if you prefer, you may sign up for ROAR membership at the races instead of applying via the ROAR website.

First United Methodist Church, downtown at 725 W. 9th Ave (9th & G St).

Summer 2011 Race Schedule

We will be doing things a little bit differently this summer. We will be running an alternating Tuesday/Sunday schedule with two points series; one for Sundays and one for Tuesdays. We're doing this for a couple of reasons:

1)This allows guys to race on the weekends who can't make the usual weeknight races.
2)This allows guys who only participate in one series to have two weeks between races to get their junk fixed and more importantly, this will avoid the usual end-of-season burnout.

Racing officially starts with the Sunday Series on May 15th. The Tuesday series starts the following week on May 23rd. Sunday racing will start @ 11AM to avoid spending all day at the track. Tuesday racing will start at 6PM. We will also be doing the Summer Solstice Enduro on Sunday June 19th starting at high noon. Details to be announced later. If there is poor attendance for the weekend series, we will most likely cancel the weekend series and go back to a weekly Tuesday schedule.

Sunday Series

May 15th & 29th
June 12th & 26th
July 10th & 24th
August 7th & 21st
