Especially with a 25.5
You don't have the horsepower to make up for bad lines and overshooting apexes. Run wide, lose a spot.

Unless there has been a recent change, one-ways are very definitely allowed under USVTA rules.

Yes, one-ways are absolutely legal.

I'm reading it as open 21.5, not a spec motor.

I believe that VTA will be open to any ROAR Sportsman speedo is the only deviation from the National USVTA rules

you are correct, as well as no driver figure required.

USGT any 21.5

Oneways legal for national rules, but promoters/track owners sometimes rule them out
