I went back to my local track after a year of Covid lock down and I was humbled and surprised at the speeds that USGT, VTA and 21.5 touring are now.

21.5T touring is faster than 17.5 was just a year ago. USGT is close to 17.5T speeds and VTA are close to USGT speeds




Now you have to have the high dollar stuff to be competitive, the rest of the comp is simply to fast. I was coming into a fresh, I would not even waste my time racing that chassis. I would go and practice, practice practice, sell the old stuff that you have, buy new(er) option, and then go and race with the crowd.

There truly is not a beginner class anymore, they are all fast and competitive.
