Is there something wrong with USVTA that requires a rule change? Based on reported turnout, I would say no. Things are fine just the way they are. Changing specs because some people want to doesn't make sense. Yes, some new people will come in, but more people would leave.

USVTA's attraction is a very limited class with scale looking bodies. The more you open those rules up the closer it gets to 17.5 Touring Car. And most people run VTA to get away from that madness.

Turnout in VTA is down because turnout is down all across the RC spectrum. There are many more things people are keeping themselves entertained with other than RC. There are more things involved with the downturn of RC than most people realize.
