(4) For a full list of the current VTA Rules, please visit --> USVTA Rules
(5) Race structure:

10 Car Qualifiers (3 rounds, 6 minutes each, Resort after each)
12 Car A-Main (8 minute Mains)
12 Car Lower Mains (bottom 2 Lower Mains split depending on count)

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.

Special Considerations:

Concourse Contest – Winners to be announced after Mains during Awards Ceremony
• Must Run Concourse Shell in Main to be eligable for Concourse Award
