Default TC tires

I'm inquiring about tires for both TC stock & mod...

Are these handouts upon start of qualifying?

Price/set?

Do we only get 1 set/class for entire event?

The tires will be handed out usually friday evening. Sometimes saturday morning. You can buy 1 set per class or 1 set for both classes. They will be marked by a race official and must be used for all qualies and mains. Can run whatever for practice. As posted above they are $30 per set. Hope this helps.

Open is to allow the club members that run open on Friday nights a chance to come race also. It is Nascar's demo class.

Default CTA Body

I'm hoping to make the race, wondering how sticky the body rules are in the CTA/VTA class... I have a modern Camaro protoform that I just picked up, but seems it won't meet the rules, pic attached

There's a couple options:

If you would like to run the new style Camaro body (or any other body), you can run it in GT (silvercan). Same car, open tires, you still run with all the CTA's, and with no weight limit GT cars are very competetive and have won in the past.

If you want to run CTA, there's the list of acceptable bodies on the USVTA website, so you'll need to go back 40 years and grab the vintage Camaro. Not that I'm trying to make life difficult for you, but with CTA please keep the vintage spirit of the class in mind, and keep it fair for the other racers; the CTA bodies are all fairly heavy, other non-CTA bodies can be much lighter, perceived aerodynamics, etc.

So just depends on what you're more attached to, the body, or the motor, lol.

Looks like I will be making the trip after trick or treating. Hopefully us late comers can get some laps on Saturday morning. See you all then!

So disappointed I'm not going to be able to make it to Edmonton this year. Work is getting in the way yet again.

Always one of the best races of the year. Have fun on those five carpets.

There are a bunch of guys coming Saturday morning. We are pushing back the start to 10 am so everyone can get some practice laps in.

Based on talking with a bunch of guys, it's looking like between 7-9 guys are coming up early Saturday morning. Thanks for moving the time back an hour for us Cowtown folks. Really helps the guys that need the extra time to dial their cars in for your 5 wide track!

See you all Saturday morning!

Please remember, this temporary change is meant for new racers. PLEASE remember, the spirit of the class is ORCA spec racing, and I trust everyone who ran last year to keep the spirit of the class and continue to run the ORCA's. I don't want to burden tech with checking the WCICS results from last season (who all ran ORCA's) and making sure everyone who ran last year is still running ORCA, so this is on the honor system.

Since John started it: ORCA's are slightly faster than a normal silver can, but Red Dot's ARE faster, we know this from the original testing when we were evaluating spec combo's to switch to.

So again, this is an unfortunate situation caused by ORCA's product cycle, and this temporary measure is to help NEW racers, so I'm encouraging everyone who has an ORCA system (i.e. anyone who ran in the last 3 years) to continue to use it. Anyone specifically switching from an ORCA combo to a red dot is NOT competing in the spirit of the class.

Josh
So all of you that want to race mini and don't have an ORCA can race and place where you finish.
