The gaping problem with ROAR VTA is that NO 25.5 motors have been approved. This essentially makes ANY 25.5 with ANY rotor and ANY wire thickness LEGAL!!! Not exactly the best thing for spec class racing. I'm not even sure if manufacturers are planning to send 25.5 motors to ROAR for approval. It may be up to the clubs themselves to test different 25.5 motors and make their own list of what's LEGAL if they choose to expand beyond the Novak-only rule.
Just my opinion. I don't run the class. But I would like to see the number of racers in VTA increase this year. It's a great class that's not too fast for newcomers to jump right into and not feel like rolling chicanes.
17.5 TC on tight carpet tracks can be tough.
Looking forward to seeing a crowd at the Showdown.
