here's a thought, even though the class says 21.5 as per ROAR whats to stop you guys from running less of a motor? If everyone agrees and since everyone already has the 25.5 just run it in the 21.5 class. You shouldn't have to worry about anyone running the 21.5 since nobody runs them right?

I can speak of the 25.5 is MORE then capable to run on BIG outdoor track as I ran the last year paved national on USVTA. There is no reason to run 21.5 as the last year national track is probably 50 foot longer then the current one. I am not going to say the final drive we did last year so everyone can enjoy finding that in probably 2-3 packs of battery.
No reason to use ROAR rule and we did not use that last year...USVTA rule need to enforce on this class....and yes, we have driver figures on the car too.
Joining ROAR event is expensive enough....buying another 21.5 motor with multiple brands of choice plus the timing, rotor to play with...USVTA class is not the same if the 21.5 motor rule are in place.

Maybe ROAR should amend their rules to be in line with USVTA, but they haven't done that yet. In Canada, almost every track here uses 21.5 blinky with 1450g limit for VTA rules. It's still Vintage Trans-Am, just not quite as slow as USVTA and it allows for motor and ESC choices other than Novak.
A driver from the US told me this past weekend that he liked our rules better than USVTA. He thinks the lighter, more nimble cars are fun.
I don't want to start any arguments. I know USVTA guys are very protective of their class. I don't even race VTA anymore. I just came in to post what ROAR currently list as their rules and to say that there are still many places that use those rules.
Considering the location of this event though, it would make the most sense to follow USVTA rules. You aren't likely to have a truckload of Canadians coming down there to race VTA.

Who's up for some 12th mod?? Track is nice and smooth and has great traction, and isn't quite as big as it was at last years event.

Any esc in blinky mode
Any 25.5 motor
Any batteries (2s batts)
All the above must be ROAR approved of course.
P.S. Don't bother looking for an approved 25.5 motor, there isn't any !!

I believe that the VTA class was built around the 25.5 moter I don't understand why a regional race running this weekend is adopting the USVTA rules The national race is adopting a whole different set of rules Stick with the US VTA rules And try to keep a level playing field If you want to go faster and spend more money there are other classes to run
Again please abide by the US VTA rules Thank you
