So excited about this. I should be able to go every wed and sat. I'm sure my wife won't mind every other Saturday. And weds are for sure for me.

Finding tires is the hard part right now. I borrowed a motor to use for vta in my tc6 and now have to wait for tires.
Is the hanger going to run vta as 21.5 or 25.5? Will novice 12th scale use 25.5 again this year or would it be better to start in 17.5? I would like t try carpet racing. What days are going to be race nights?

25.5 is definitely the right speed for the rug, IMO.

I haven't run VTA tires on carpet in a long time (I'm a GT kinda guy) but all the fast guys on VTA tires are using the treaded ones.
I actually liked the slicks on asphalt. I've had some great races with Pat Plueard where my slicks would start off slow, and his treads would start off fast, and I'd be struggling to stay with him for the first half, and then my slicks would come in and his treads would fade, and he'd struggle to hold me off... Ahhh, Scale Spec is so awesome.

Just in the process of moving to the Seattle area -- where is the track you guys run at??
What classes? Maybe should just ask if there is a website with the info? Thanks.

The Seattle area doesn't have any permanent onroad tracks . We have designated places that allow carpet to be temperarly rolled out onto the floor . And a designated spot for curry to assemble his car for the main
but it draws good turnout.

If you make it out before the end of the summer, then look at the "FWR Racing Season" thread for info on Fantasy World (Tacoma, south end of the area), "TCS In Washington" for Galaxy Hobbies (Lynnwood, north end of the lake), and "FastTrax NW" www.fasttraxnw.com (Monroe, northeast butt-crack of awesomeness), and definitely check out www.northwestasphaltchallenge.com, because the series is Epic.
Other tracks in the area, a bit farther out, are Four Seasons RC Raceway and Bremerton RC Raceway.
