Legends......check
I know of at least 3 more legends that are coming and 2 more pancars.
I put an advertisement on Craigslist as well. You never know what you are going to get on craigslist so I thought I would see if we could generate some interest or curiosity on there.

I probably have an extra 21.5. Back before the track redesign we did run legends cars on the road course. VTA should be a nice full class. I'm not sure we've had enough USGT cars show up to run yet. I always bring mine and know of a few others that have them. I wish it would take off.

17.5 is a spec class we are kicking around for pancars. If i remember it is 17.5 motor, open ESC, single cell lipo, truck bodies, open gears, and i think blue ring spec tires. We ran legends on the 'old' road course last year; it was a lot of fun. But, i think everyone likes running them on the oval now. We can certainly ask everyone to see if they would like to try racing them on the new road course.
Also, i would like to start a point series either this week or next race. My thought was to keep track of everyones total laps in the mains and have those compound each week. So for example if you ran 20 laps in the VTA main this week you had 20 points going into next race, if you ran 19 next race you would carry 39 point into the next race and so on. That should keep the points race close......as long as you dont miss a race. Any thoughts?

TI like the idea of a points series, and your format is cool. But, I think there should be a throwout resultin there somewhere. Also, how will you differentiate beteeen say a 23 in 8:02 vs 23 in 8:17? Not trying to be a pain, just thinking through questions before they arise. Sliding scale maybe? Also bonus point for TQ. Also should tech cars after finals.

Im up for anything as far as legends and pan cars go. As long as it doesnt cost extra to run the road course. I would still love to run oval though with these cars. Maybe we could alternate the legends every other race day??? Maybe that way the on road guys can keep an even playing field with us oval guys as far as the points system goes. And I do love the idea of a points series. Kinda makes ya wanna do better week to week, cause after racing The ROCCK and seein these guys get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd framed tophies I thought that was pretty awesome!!! It would give the goonys regars somethin to race for. As far as the 17.5 spec class for pan cars goes, Im up for that as well, just put a 17.5 system in mine last night. Just need to add a truck series body to it......

Good thought on the TQ, we could make it worth 1 extra point. I am basically modeling the points system after what they do in Harriman. So in your question both would be awarded 23 points on the night unless one of them TQ'd.
We could do a graduated points system but i am worried that there would be too much disparity after a couple of races and people would loose interest. My thought is that this will help keep the series simple and close; and may help motivate continual attendance. On your thought about having a throw away or throw out race. Maybe at the end of the ‘season’ we could throw out your highest and lowest weekly score and get a champion after that….just a thought
Again, this is all up for debate so if you have any other ideas, throw them out there.

it would be cool if we ran the points race eight to ten races with a road course or two for the legends kinda like watkins glenn in the chase. Just a thought. 17.5 spec pancar should be about right, but since you said any esc, boosted or not? Not running pancars just thinking. really looking forward to racing some onroad this summer. If I could just get dad and a few more people from my neck of the woods into vta...

Not sure about the boosted ESC in the 17.5 spec pan car. Ed Tabor will be at the track tommorrow, he knows all the details on the spec, we can ask him tommorrow. I figure 8 to 10 races for the points series is about all we will get in since we are only running twice a month.
