Just out of curiosity, what's with the huge TC style wings on the "vintage" Trans-Am bodied cars? Is that a separate class, or do you guys allow those to run? Thought they weren't permitted by USVTA rules. Like I said, just curious, because it really throws the scale looks off.

Even though our Nifty Fiftys lot is on the smaller side, keeping them "as planted as possible" will make it safer for all concerned....
Also, keeping them clear, makes them barely noticable when they're cruising around the track, so the scale looks aren't too comprimized....

How was your VTA racing this past weekend?
Friday - VTA at Indy Slots in Indianapolis/Beech Grove had lighter turn-outs, but still had a solid turn-out. A number of the regulars were prepping for the Ft. Wayne race.
Saturday - VTA at the 3 Rivers Festival in Ft. Wayne saw 24 racers. 2-8th in the A-main were qualified within 8 seconds of each other. The main saw great racing between 2-4th the entire race.
Sunday - VTA at Hobbytown Indy North had 11 entries. Had a few racers come down from the Chicago area and show us the fast line. Great racing in the A-main with a lot of close battles on the track.

robk, did you forget to have that talk with brad? 
in related festival news, brad hit a triple and 2 grand slams in sunday's youth tee ball game. (brad was allowed to play on the technicality that the term 'youth' is subjective).

On page two of the Festival news......Seaball was banned from the same game due to the terms of his parole and could only watch from the internet.
