New to On-Road ?'s
We just got a site approved to set up a on-road course on 2 abandoned tennis courts approx. 120x120 fenced in. ?'s are;
Is this big enough for an 1/10 on-road track- electric ? nitro?
What is the difference between VTA - Touring - Pan cars?

VTA is old school american bodies on Touring cars with limited motors and speed controls and batteries.
Touring car is typically 17.5 motors with a blinky speedo
Pan cars are like 12th scale a very flat car that is 2wd
If available I would suggest going to a hobby shop and poking around if you can. Otherwise if there is another on-road track somewhat local to go see what it is all about.

there is a link to some VTA info
Roarracing.com is good starting point for Touring and 12th for motors, esc's, and batteries.

The size is a decent size. 120x120 then subtract for pits etc. Try to keep a 120 ft straight.

The pits will be outside the fence and stand will be right up against it to help maximize the actual track. We may have to leave the net post in but I think we can work around them.

Thank you, closest shop is 30+ miles away, they do have an on-road inside but it looks like its for 1/12. I've run their off road, just don't get down there much.

Going to CH is a first step but there is very little on-road that happens there, only 12th and a mixed TC WGT class sometimes, the best thing you can learn from there is what not to do with your program. If you want to see a thriving on-road make the trip up to the Gilbert Hobby Town on a Sat, thats the place to learn from.
