Any idea of what a schedule could look like? Classes? Ive been running dirt oval and just picked up a tc5r that i plan to build a 17.5 tc with. Are there tire rules for that type of class? Best option for tire choices? thanks,

Working on the dates now. Will have posted by the beginning of April.

The spec tire we have been using for the past few years are the Solaris Hard pre-mounted and will be available through Strictly r/c.

Thanks

I think you mean transponder? Any AMB or newer MyLaps Hybrid personal transponder works with Strictly's system. The older AMB personals run about $70-$80 used. Any MRT PTX transponder will also work until Strictly upgrades their decoder which probably won't happen this year? There are some good deals on the MRTs here on RCTech.net. I've seen them for $50. Lot's of people dumping them because of the announcement by AMB that the MRTs will no longer be compatible with newer decoders. You can also use the house transponders but you have to put them in and take them out of your car for each race. A transponder mount or an extra hole in your body is required for use of house transponders.

Check and make sure your ESC and 21.5 is legal for the class you want to run here =

Some places have rules that differ from "sanctioned" rules =
Like this place requires a specific tire that is NOT USGT "approved" for their version of USGT...

Don't know if this place sticks to the USGT Rule set for the bodies...???

You'll have to ask that too.

Wintrhop Harbor runs by the rules in USGT and USVTA except for certain "club/track series" Mr. Whiteside may have a variance - like no one way diffs in USVTA in the Hurricane series like this = http://www.rctech.net/forum/racing-f...et-series.html

Most track hosting races post what they run --- just have to wait til they get around to posting the info - - - or PM the hmfwic and ask...

Yes, I had a short term ban on one-ways after a lot of bad press hit the inter web after a race. The ban was very short term and has not been in effect here for awhile.

Thanks for posting that. I did not know that "Draconian" rule had been lifted at The Track. We are free once again to drive with no front brakes! I don't usually use them but like having it as an option. The bigger problem is that several times people actually told me I couldn't use them at other tracks because they were against the USVTA rules. Of course those were the guys that didn't read so well. I've had to explain a few times that it was just a house rule at the place that holds the USVTA Nats and not a universal USVTA rule.
