Recommend you cater to the close travelers. Largest class
in the cities MMR Club spec VTA.. repower, rebattery, sedan speed is entirely a different animal.

The key point of your statement to look at is it is the biggest class in THE CITIES, and we haven't seen any of those racers up here this year. If the clubs VTA racers want to make the switch and we can lure a few more from other tracks to our race it's all good. If nobody else comes to our race we still have our cars it's still all good. In the past we have heard that we could get more VTA's if we ran the standard rules. Just something we are kicking around. So far all but 3 have committed, 2 of the 3 show interest, the last we still have to talk to.
WOW is not when and where the State Champs started, just where it is now.

Ya baby, MN On Road State Champs! Definitely the longest running on road race in the state. Cant wait, with the date change for the car show I don't have to take time off from work for the first time, SWEET! The LSRCC club is also talking about going to USVTA rules for the VTA class now that we are running this class regularly and are having good turnouts. We are thinking it might help get some out-of-towners to come to our race if we are in-line with the rest of the country.
Sorry I missed the race, will be there for WOW for sure!

I had a great time this weekend. Thanks to gary and all the others that helped put in a great race!
As for vta was great racing with you guys! The cost of a motor is minimal considering the travel costs and I would consider nd race too so count me in if a group buy is put together. May be worth getting a preregistration going to see if the numbers of the current vta are going to be better then this last weekend from the out of towners.... If the switch is made for this season maybe the club could buy a few and rent them? Could be a good test for a motor for the spec truck class.

Wish I could have made this race but with my work schedule I don't know what I'm doing.
As for the VTA hope it dose not go the way of the rubber sedan.

Don't get me wrong, I love running the MMR VTA, but I just think it's outdated, we've run it for a few years now and we are still the only vestige in the country that runs it. I don't think it's catching on except here in the cities unfortunately. It would be totally different if the the whole country was running 1s 17.5's. The fact is They're Not. I'm in for 2S 25.5. But you should even go a little further than that and limit the battery to 5000mah too. I think that's what USVTA is doing, but I could be wrong.
As for rubber sedan, that's okay if there are only a few of us running here. At least I know for sure that I have the freedom to travel to ND, SD, IA, NE, CA, NY, CT, MA, and they race them there.
