2012-13 Carpet racing at the "Coliseum"

Looks like VTA is falling off already ... Now have to choose between leaving my 17.5 TC as is and running it or change out the 17.5 for 21.5 TC. No spare 21.5 sitting around so it becomes a little bit of a hassle swapping motors between chassis. Most likely will just try and hang with the 17.5 guys.
Any chance of the track being available on Friday afternoon for some practice and set up time? I don't set up as fast as the more experienced racers - and carpet will be all new to me.

If you need any help changing motors or with setup for the carpet one of us will be more than happy to help.

Questions regarding ROAR rules for VTA:
Rules state 21.5 turn brushless and Transmission: single speed only.
1. Does "Transmission: single speed only" mean the same as "blinky", or esc's without timing advance capabilities?
2. For "21.5 turn brushless" - are motors with adjustable timing allowed or are we going with no adjustable timing? I can't tell from the ROAR rules. I believe the USVTA rules are no adjustable timing motors, but the council has stated going with ROAR rules and with ROAR it isn't quite as clear for me.
Just trying to understand the details.

I at least have everything documented as to where I'm starting from. And I know, one change at a time and see the effects. It's just starting with the first thing that should be tried is where I sometimes struggle. I sincerely appreciate the offer of help!
I also sincerely appreciate all the work I see occurring at the "C". I was in checking out the work on Sunday. It is awesome. Everything looks so new and fresh!!

If you were part of the Tri-County circuit John has points posted on the tri county thread.
All the walls and drivers stand were painted yesterday. New borders for the track will be installed tonight and Vegas layout will be put down thursday evening.
Everything is looking good and should be open for practice on friday and racing saturday, so if your not attending MRH mini brawl bring your sedan in and try our new carpet out.
We have Sweep 32's and SXT 3.0 in stock.
