Default 2013 U.S. VTA+ SOUTHERN NATIONALS in MUSIC CITY, U.S.A.

Welcome to the one of the largest VTA events/races in the country. With racers coming from over 20 different states, and over 20 sponsors supplying great prizes. As well as National title trophies.


2013 U.S. VTA+ SOUTHERN NATIONALS

in MUSIC CITY, U.S.A.


DATE:
Sept 19TH-22ND


PLACE:
Thunder RC Raceway 810 Cherokee Ave Nashville, TN 37207
615-851-1876

TROPHY:
National Title Trophy
1st-10th Amain and 1st in lower mains and TQ


RULES:
FULL USVTA AND USGT

http://www.usvintagetransam.com/rules/index.html

ROAR
Touring Car and 12th Scale
Trinity Based D3.5 motors will not be allowed

ENTRY:
$35 first class, $15 second class, Jr VTA $10(FREE if parent is running VTA)


CLASSES:
____VTA
____USGT
____17.5 ROAR Stock TC on JACO BLUES($25 set)
____13.5 ROAR Stock 12th Scale
____JR VTA

In addition to FREE entry for Jr VTA if the parent is running VTA, Im going to take the 1st 50 Paid VTA entries and put all their names in a hat. The winner will receive a brand new Team Novak Edge / Ballistic Boss VTA 25.5T Race Combo.

NOTES:

USGT,
all motors must be ROAR approved, per track owner

NOTE: any 21.5 that has a 17.5 on the ROAR approved list will be allowed at this time for this event. Given its the same counterpart motor. Example, Vulcan 17.5 and Outlaw Vulcan 21.5 isn't going to fly. Lets keep a honest hat on and be real and not take short cuts..

We are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Waiting and trying to keep it fair. So after talking with several ppl and companies , this seems to be the best option.

with this exception...The Orca 21.5 will also be allowed. Ive been reassured that this motor has already gone into approval with ROAR and passed, and it just hasn't been posted.

I hope this clears up any misunderstanding and I hope all of you continue to support the class.

any questions please pm me....thanks Myron

D3.5's are still not permitted

USVTA,
1st Qualifier will be 1 min of open track for VTA....best time in that 60 seconds determines starting order. All qual will be heads up. Thats 5 qual for VTA. A-main will be triple mains points style

NO ADVANCED time on the Novak Ballastic motors past the last notch on the sticker. Motor tech for every VTA 25.5, motors will be broke down and resealed like Snowbirds, THIS WILL HAPPEN, per Robert Dirla Track owner.

Tire tread will need to be visible for every round.

The Ballastic 25.5 motor as we know it is being removed from the Novak line of motors. Its replacement is the New Novak Ballistic Boss VTA Edition 25.5T Brushless Motor(#3626V). I have been reassured by Novak and others that its the same motor that we currently use, with the exception of the vented endbells. So in short this motor will be allowed at the event. So with that being said, the older motors can use them as well, but must from Novak, part #5925. NO extra cutting on the endbells.

make sure that if you put vented end bells on your current motor, that's its the ones from Novak

I dont fully understand the logic you are using for this cup. Will it be awarded at the end of the cup series at say the USVTA Nationals or will you award it after each of these events? I dont see how this will determine a pure champ if its handed out after each event. Cause if there is a new winner at each race then whos the winner? Better yet why not let the true USVTA nationals determine who the National Champ is?

Signed up for TC and 12th. Might add something else later if I feel I need more punishment.

Just throwing it out there (and it is completely fine if not), any chance of adding WGT to the mix? I know we have the class growing here, and it is somewhat popular in FL as well as up north.

I'll be ready to run VTA and 17.5 TC. I may do World GT if you all run it. I got to race VTA because I want to do better in that class then I did last time (3rd in the C- main). Look forward to racing you all soon.
