Guys,
Have a chat to me when we are racing next..... Jot down what you guys want..... we all have a chat after the race meet and see what direction everyone wants to go, i'll then get a proposal together to forward to the whole onroad sub committee and go from there....
Sounds like a plan ?

We also have to trying fixing the Mini rules regarding body and tyres. I will definitely have a chat with you on next race day. In fact, I will probably write up a draft of the changes I am suggesting for the committee to consider.
Cheers
Alfred
And Merry Christmas to everyone. If you are on your own, trying connecting with someone, even if it is going to the communal Christmas lunch in the City.

Yes to most.
But chassis restriction by year is not really a good thing. It discriminates for no reason and that is not a good rule. If we want to do chassis restriction, it has to be something similar to Mini. But again, that will preclude for wider participation. It is supposed to be more encompassing than not.
For tyres, NOT any compound as the performance vintage tyres are far too superior to the ones now being used. Everyone will more to the performance tyres and therefore it makes no sense.

As for the chassis, just seeing if you and your T3 will bite
A good driver with a TT-01 will beat a new driver in the latest Serpent perfectly set up any day.

True but having tried the performance VTA tyres I can tell you that after 2 qualifiers they'll be bald, and after one race day they'll have foam sticking through on the inside edge. They also stick a little too well so you get some pretty serious understeer going on. They may fair a lot better on Carpet but at Bayswater, I think they'll be more a liability (financially at least)

I agree with Alfred keep the VTA tyres and wheels as per the US VTA rules
HPI tire part #4793 "front" and #4797 "rear", using stock tire inserts provided with tire and any HPI Vintage wheels designed to fit these tires
this will keep the costs down for everyone

Yeah 17.5 would be good... i'll try blinky mode next time im at the track... it will certainly make racing a lot smoother and closer... i think it will also make racing easier... its easy to get them to handle at slow speeds. It then all comes down to driver skills and errors.

Wow this 1500gram min weight for VTA will be a challenge, I got the JRXS fitted with the biggest battery I can fit, 60A esc instead of the 35A as it's 5 grams heavier, Larger receiver, 75 grams of weights so far and I'm still sittin at 1445! Can't imagine how much you'd need to ballast these new flashy ultra lightweight T3's etc if I'm trying to fatten up a 6 yr old tank!
....might have to grab a scale interior thing, that should be worth a few grams
