DJ919,
How about this for an honest answer on the How Hard do You Drive type of question.
IF my car is competitive, I race to WIN...if it's NOT I run laps to keep as many cars on the track as possible, and I yeild to the leaders so THEY can race....and I'll come back and challenge another time.
With a class like the VTA, or any class that (I personally) deem as a SPORTSMAN level type class...you can RACE Hard, yet be laughing and joking with the guy standing next to you on the stand.
We ran (7) cars today, for our FIRST VTA based class at our Local Racing Scene. 3 more bodies were sold I believe for future cars...and I know a couple more were sold during the week.
Our On-Road track is freakin HUGE compared to some of the carpet tracks I've seen...and after running the 17.5/LIPO Oval Class...man did the VTA On-Road feel putt, putt in speed..but I had a blast...and I haven't driven On-Road in almost 3 years.
