Tracks all across the country have started using these including Snowbirds. Now Justin and his Curbs are coming to the USVTA Southern Nationals.

He is also doing a racer and beginner layout that will be fun and challenging for all. Nice flow and enough technical run to make everyone smile.

So please join me in thanking Justin and Track Lyons for coming onboard for this years event. You can check out more of his amazing products here

Having been to the USVTA Southern Nationals the last few years, it was great to be connect faces with names. I would like to be able to identify other racers by their RCTech login more easily. What (inexpensive) ideas do you think best?

Nice shirt, but who is the king of VTA?

Also you might want to check the section on ROAR website.

" 1.6.5 No racer wearing bright green or yellow shoes are allowed. If that is the only pair of shoes they have, then they must start at the back of the pack 6 laps down."

yeah still have that shirt...but my wonderful wife had that made for me, and I took that thing to every race I went to....funny thing was, I had the shirt under my hoodie all day...just in case I didnt win...lol....

but to be fair, Rob King is the King of VTA as for now....He has beaten me in Chicago this year, and I beat him there a few years back...but I TQ both lol..Ive never beat him at Summit, or Southern Nats(he won)....plus he is the head of the USVTA organization.....

But if he brings his Chicago Bears t-shirt wearing tale to Music City this year, it will be a different song all together

So yes Mr Rob King...KING of VTA...Im calling you out

as far as ROAR...whatever, Im a USVTA guy...lol
