Spec 13.5 4WD Buggy: Dominic Paccione captured the 2026 ROAR Carpet National title in Spec 13.5 4WD Buggy. With strong pace heading into the main events, he secured the top qualifying position thanks to his consistency.
In a nail-biting A1, Dominic was running third heading into the final corner when the leaders tangled. He capitalized on the incident, navigating through the wreck to take the win.
With less drama in A2, Dominic delivered a smooth and consistent drive, maintaining a gap over second place for the entire race. He took the win again, securing both the overall victory and the national title.
Spec 17.5 2WD: Paccione opened the event with a second-place finish in A1. He carried that momentum into A2 with another second-place result, then rounded out the day in A3 to secure the points needed to seal a podium finish. Across all three mains, his consistency ranked among the best in the field.
