WAY TO GO ROB THIS WILL BE A GREAT CLASS TO RUN


MOST IMPORTANTLY: If it's not in the rules, and does not encompass the spirit of slower, controlled racing with realistic looking cars, consider it illegal. This is called the "Spirit of VTA" Rule. The class is based on slower, equal playing field competition with less traction, minimal aerodynamic aids and mostly older carpet racing technology. The final objective is close, fair, wheel-to-wheel racing for all. All decisions of the race promoter or track owner are final.


AND MOST OF ALL JUST HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!


GUYS CHECK OUT THE GALLERY IN THE usvintagetransam SITE
THESE WERE TAKEN @ MY TRACK IN 2008
LOVE THAT I JUST FOUND THEM

I'm looking forward to racing at HT USA in the future, just to let you know there is a state race on the 15th

An opinion on VTA from someone who's been doing it for about three years...

First, it's fun. There's nothing like watching American Muscle in vintage paint schemes with realistic looking tires on Cragar SS wheels rubbing fenders like they did back in the 60s and 70s.

Second, it's slow, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. When everyone else is running the same motor, finishing first comes down to skill, skill and most importantly, SKILL. There is no horsepower to save your butt if you're tapping pipes every lap. If you want to pass someone, you better drive better than that person. There's nothing more rewarding than tailing someone for a lap and setting up that perfect inside/out pass going down the back stretch.

Finally, this is a great second class for more experienced people and a great beginner class for someone who isn't ready to handle 17.5 speeds. I learned more about setup and driving from this class than I did banging pipes in a 17.5 car.

Couple of pointers from some who's done VTA for a while...
1. There are three versions of HPI VTA tires- #4793 and #4797 are the ones you want- the other ones suck/aren't legal

2. Motors- ROAR can't show preference to one manufacturer, the official VTA rules specify Novak only. Other clubs have found that there's no real difference but Novak has really stepped up to help VTA with products and customer service.

3. ESCs- the approved list makes it VERY easy to prevent cheating. You won't have to worry about various Blinky modes and software profiles.

4. Bodies- the current list doesn't allow the Corvette Stingray and Pantera that raced much later in SCCA's Trans Am series. I've seen them on the track and they look awesome, especially in retro paint schemes.

5. Buy In- some people don't want to buy all that equipment to run a "slow" class. I've seen everything from old plastic tub TC3s to high end Corallys to entry level Sakura Zero S cars compete in VTA. Used Novak products are cheap to buy and their website offers remanufactured products at good prices. I'd say the most difficult part of getting into VTA is buying new pinions and spurs to get down to the recommended (NOT required) 4.0 FDR. Another way to get people to buy in is to let them turn down the EPA on their throttle to match the speeds of other 25.5 motors. Once people get a feel for the class they are more than likely to show up the next race with 100% compliance to the rules.

6. Keep it Simple- Once people deviate from the printed rules, you might as well not run VTA. There's nothing easier to figure out than a 25.5 motor, non-programmable ESC, American Muscle body and HPI Vintage tires. It's not rocket science, which is why MANY clubs across the country run the rules.

No need for traction compound. Track has decent grip and good tire wear. A good racer must adapt to the conditions of the surface. Thats what makes racing fun. You gotta know how to setup ur ride....

PJ THIS IS GREAT STUFF
WOULD LIKE TO PICK YOUR BRAIN AT THE NEXT RACE
LIKE ROB SAID WE HAVE A FEW GUYS ASKING ABOUT THIS CLASS
THAT WILL BE AT THE NEXT EVENT HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE
THANKS
