I do too. Don't you guys who want to eliminate the driver rule ever look at your cars when you are not blasting around the track?
For me, one of the main reasons I wanted to run this class when I was introduced to it (Thanks Bob!) was because these are
scale looking muscle cars with realistic tires and rims. I like the speed of the 17.5 TC and other classes, but the sweep type tires/wheels/bodies can make them look like toys from Fisher-Price.
Guess I'm old school, and proud of it, but if VTA is just another class to you where the only difference you see is motor turns and a different molded lexan clam shell, then you don't understand "The spirit of VTA" that most of us dig. If you look at the photos below, you will see driver "figures" inside each car. That's the look I think the founders of the class were going for.
