Awesome first day of onroad racing today, thanks to Shawn and I think we are all glad we have a couple more race days scheduled this year!! Also I was very impressed with the new Gravity tires the store is stocking. Sadly I will be missing the next race, but excited for my sons baptism that we will be having that day (PIG ROAST TIME!!).

Yeah, this on-road thing is fun. The announcing by Paul was quite entertaining! -Shawn, how was it without the tire sauce? I still think the sauce is over rated.

In the main without sauce the car felt about the same as it did in the first qualifier when I used the paragon. I'm not sure if the tire compound is over rated or not, it's more likely I'm doing it wrong

Thumbs up

We had a great time Sunday, looking forward to the next one. It was the most fun I've had racing RC's in a long time and Paul's commentary almost had me in tears, I nominate him as the official USVTA race director of HT.

Agreed on Paul VTA announcing, I've never laughed so hard at an RC race, let alone laughing that hard while trying to get the rental ride to the top of the podium. Thanks again to Shawn and Victor for putting on a fun race day, and thanks again for the rental VTA ride shawn!

Default Sunday sunday sunday

Bring out those USGT, VTAs, Minis & Stock TC's this sunday. Weather is going to be awesome mid 70s. The surface is very smooth/clean & grip is very good, you guys will be surprised.

Im in for Stock Rubber and possibly mini if more show up.
