I raced VTA last Saturday evening and wow is the new style CRC carpet nice. Crazy grip on the 1st day of racing on it.

Here is a link to the 17.5 TC A-Main

I just picked up an XRay T4'16 and am trying to decide between straight up TC 17.5 or USGT. Not interested in VTA.

What's turnout been for the TC and USGT classes?

If I can get the car together I'll be out Saturday.

TC for sure. One or two USGT cars have been showing up. There were 4 heats of 17.5 TC this week in a light night.

TC has much better turnouts. I went there for the last two Saturdays and both has three mains for TC. There are 4 entries for USGT last Saturday but it is probably never going to be as popular as the TC.

How does your car drive, what do you feel the car is doing? What would you like the car to do that it's not doing?

When using the old tires, the car lose traction at high speed steering (understeering).

When using new tire, it traction rolls like crazy and I need to slow down a lot before turns. I feel I am losing so much time in the corners.

I am currently running a TRF419 fitted with Xray T4 shocks. 5mm Ride height all around and 2mm droop front and rear.
