17.5 foam TC
10.5 foam TC
13.5 rubber
Mod Rubber
13.5 1 cell lipo 12th scale
mod 1 cell lipo 12th scale
10.5 1 cell lipo wgt
No VTA should be included in the Snowbirds, that class was a joke last year and should be specific to large VTA events exclusively.

17.5 rubber
10.5 rubber
13.5 12th (single cell)
mod 12th (single cell)
i'm pretty much done at 4. i'd rather run foam sedan indoors, but i'd even more like us all to run the same tire. if rubber is that class, so be it. i'll miss the crazy groove from the days of 1600 (~400x4) total foam tires putting down the dope, though.
good to see some acknowledgement that the tight competition at the big races has almost vanished. used to be 2-3 seconds for the main. now a full lap off pace will still get you 8th on the grid.

There doesnt need to be anything faster than 10.5 foam, Trust me its fast, you can put the power down way better than rubber. Mod foam will probably be .1-.2 faster than 10.5 this year that should not justify another class.
Mod rubber might draw some of the big names from out of the Country, mod foam does not do this.

Snowbirds is a big carpet race which is what this is about.
Was VTA that popular last winter? It seems like its gained in popularity since then. Perhaps it would do better next time. Not sure. I suspect VTA is populated primarily with racers that don't do a lot of national travelling.
