Thanks Chris
Just need 3 guys to show up on a given week to make a class.

There has been a strong interest the last 2 weeks for 17.5TC, but for some 21.5TC may be a better option.

That said, 21.5 USGT is also good compromise. The spec tires last 6-10 weeks without an issues (and are still competative) and the variation in body shells is a welcome change to a field only of Mazda Speed 6 Touring cars

Anyway, hopefully enough people will show to have a class in coming weeks. See you at the track.

great turn out this past Sunday for on-road racing. Had 5 heats of VTA, F1, USGT and 17.5 sedan. There was an epic F1 A-main with the top two cars separated by less than 1sec for the entire 6min. Some extremely close open wheeled racing with multiple lead changes throughout the full 6min race distance. Hope to see everyone again next weekend

When are these 21.5 sedans showing up? I'd like to see them run.

Also I have bought a 1/12th scale car to run 17.5 blinky with the guys who have been showing up from time to time. Dust off those tire truers and lets get this class going again. It's the perfect size and speed for the hobby stop track!

I stop by the track to show off my new to me 1/12th car. Of the people who were there I'd say it generated a fair amount of excitement.

Great turn out this past week of on onroad racing. 6 full heats:

VTA
F1 (x2)
USGT (x2)
17.5

Considering the Indoor champs and all of the family festivities, it was a great turnout with some really close racing. The 17.5 A-main was an epic battle right down to the last straight away!

Remember, there will be a new layout next week to challenge everyone. Hope to see everyone next Sunday

Rules are still sort of fluid. I now 17.5 motors and CRC spec tires are being considered. I assume other rules such as weight, bodies, battery voltage, etc, would follow roar rules for 1/12th scale.

VTA (x2)
F1 (x2)
USGT (x2)
17.5

We had several guys come out of summer hibernation to race F1.

Also, there were 3-4 1/12th scale racers floating around in the pits and practice, so I expect there will be enough to race on Sunday. See you then !!
