If anyone is looking for a great VTA body for this event, a buddy of mine is selling this one. He's a very good airbrush painter. Works on graphics full time for a living. Great quality paint: Custom 1/10 Scale RC Painted Body for VTA On-Road - Mcallister Plymouth AAR Cuda

I have a question is qualifying heads up? Do you have a resort if so when after each round? Questions I ask because we are hosting a 30 car VTA race in California. Last year we ran heads up with a resort at round 2 and 3.this year we are thing about IFMAR start to keep the flow going for the other 6 classes we are running 150 catalyst year 137 cars.

Straight from the USVTA rules:
Race Specification:
- 5 minute qualifiers
- 8 minute mains
- Larger Races IFMAR-type starts are a better option. All smaller “club” heats and mains
should be straight-up starts, with random sorts for each heat if desired. Non random sorts
should shuffle starting order for each heat.
Optional Main Variations:
- 12-20 car A-mains, depending on car counts.
- Invert qualifying order based on random hat pull (top 6-10 cars).
- "LeMans" type starts where all cars are lined up on an angle to the racing line in order.
- Run track in reverse rotation for mains.
- Rolling starts

Here is a teaser pic. The others are too big to upload here. There have been about 6-10 of us busting our tails on this place for about 2 weeks now. I cant thank the guys enough that have came out on their time to volunteer and help build one of the nicest places around and one of the largest RC Facilities in North America.

I will have a big announcement next week sometime as well.
