ROAR Releases the 2027 Nationals Calendar
ROAR has set its 2027 Nationals: 1/8 off-road at Hank Perry Raceway July 27 to August 1, plus carpet, dirt, paved and nitro on-road dates, and the e-buggy Worlds in Florida.
The 2027 season has a shape now. ROAR has released its 2027 National Championship calendar, seven Nationals running from March to August, and the big one for our crowd is locked in: the 1/8 Off-Road Nationals head to Hank Perry Raceway in Spokane, Washington, July 27 to August 1.
2027 ROAR Nationals, off-road:
- July 27–August 1: 1/8 Off-Road Nationals, Hank Perry Raceway, Spokane, Washington
- June 30–July 4: Canadian 1/8 Off-Road Nationals, BEGO Racing R/C Raceway, Mirabel, Quebec
- July 15–18: 1/10 Dirt Off-Road Nationals, Coyote Hobbies Raceway, Victorville, California
- April 14–18*: 1/10 Carpet Off-Road Nationals, PDX Underground, Portland, Oregon
2027 ROAR Nationals, on-road:
- March 3–7: On-Road Carpet Nationals, Apex Raceway, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
- May 20–23: Nitro On-Road Nationals, TSRCAR, Lebanon, Ohio
- June 17–20: Paved On-Road Nationals, The Groove, Sheridan, Illinois
Also on ROAR's list: the IFMAR 1/8 Electric Buggy Worlds, September 29–October 3 at Gateway RC Park in Lake City, Florida.
*ROAR's official calendar lists April 14–18 for the carpet off-road Nats, but the host track's own event page currently shows April 21–25, 2027. Double-check with ROAR or the track before you book travel.
For the 1/8 guys, look at the back half of summer. Canadian Nats at BEGO to open July, 1/10 dirt at Coyote mid-month, then Spokane to close it out. If you run both scales out west, that's a lot of miles on the trailer in one month. Good news for the outdoor 1/10 crowd too, with dirt Nats on a California track. We asked earlier this year whether 1/10 outdoor off-road is making a comeback, and this is another data point.
Two months after Spokane, the e-buggy Worlds lands in Florida. ROAR said back in June that this year's 1/8 Nationals at AMain was the qualifier for entry to that race. We broke down the full IFMAR lineup in our 2027 World Championship calendar story. ROAR hasn't posted entry dates or class lists for the 2027 Nationals yet, so stay tuned for that.
