BTW...Racer Rick and I spent a few minutes this evening looking over the Pegasus Mustang body. Something I'd not paid attention to is it has the "vents" at the front of the rear fenders which we thought ARE '70. We then looked at pics of the Bud Moore team Mustangs from '70 and no vents in those. Our thought was maybe the vents were in the Mach 1's and not the Bosses? If so, were they in both the '69 and '70 Mach 1's or only the '70.
Either way, Racer Rick has taken the Mustang home with him and will do it great justice!!

Da Cuda
Here's the next in my stable... just had to have a 'Cuda! We had eight cars in our TA class on Wed night! Woo Hoo... I'd bet we break into double digits on Sunday! With still more on the way. Just need some numbers and I think AndyH is helping me out with that.
Green 'Cuda's seem to be popular.

I know it wouldn't have been a big deal to most of us to mill out a cam or a bulkhead to get the cans to work but I was thinking about that new guy wanting to race and having to modify his new car just to be able to run. I didn't think it would help the class even though I would have loved to run the cans instead.

silver can in xray t2
To get the silver can to fit smoohly into the xray t2 (it will fit stock, but the motor will not move smoothly for pinion adjustment,) you have to mill about 1/2mm from the upper motor mount that contacts the bushing holder on the silver can. (The area is about 1/4 inch by 1/2mm.) I can post pics if anyone is interested.
If you allow both 6 cell silver can and 4 cell stock, a racer has a choice if the silver can doesn't fit and they don't want to modify anything.

Thanks Bill, I do understand what to do to get the cans to work, but I wanted to keep our program geared more towards the new or retired racers. Just keep the rules as simple as possible. I would have loved to run the cans because we could have random handout motors each race day. Keeps the racing tight without needing to know all the silver can voodoo.

Website has been updated with newly added tracks and clubs (be sure to PM me if your track is beginning to run this class), as well as new graphic banners for your track's website to link to the USVTA site.
The tracks section has also been updated to reflect which tracks are using the Official Rules of the USVTA and which tracks have altered rules.

You just need some black wheel nuts or something :P I'm pretty sure our local track will have 15+ guys running this Sunday!

The Silver Can won't go in the TC3/TC4 motor cam without some milling/drilling. I had Silver Can motor all set to test last June and found it won't go in the car w/o mods. Too bad as I REALLY think that would have been a good combo. Then again we developed the class here (as it turns out, in parallel with Marty and Scotty at Trackside) intending to draw people by creating a home for obsolete TC chassis so we really weren't looking at the newer chassis.
BTW...Racer Rick and I spent a few minutes this evening looking over the Pegasus Mustang body. Something I'd not paid attention to is it has the "vents" at the front of the rear fenders which we thought ARE '70. We then looked at pics of the Bud Moore team Mustangs from '70 and no vents in those. Our thought was maybe the vents were in the Mach 1's and not the Bosses? If so, were they in both the '69 and '70 Mach 1's or only the '70.
