VTA is more of a fun close drivers class. That or USGT if you are just starting out. You will enjoy it more in my opinion than stock touring.

When you coming out Steve? USGT is the most popular class here (2 heats as opposed to one heat of VTA). I think I'll just stick to USGT up north and VTA at the other HT.

Not sure yet. Been tinkering with my cars in the basement thinking about it. I only have a VTA and Mini set up now. Sold my other on road cars. Have a Team Magic E4RSII I bought and ran a hand full of times that I cant find parts for now. I still have all the parts to put it back to USGT which it was set up for originally.
I do need a break from my '61 Biscayne and just sitting at home when I'm not working.

Got rained on a few times in the morning, sat in traffic driving to the track, realized I forgot my usgt when I got there, only got to run two heats of stk sc, got rained on some more, almost toasted a speedo on my 4wd sc... STILL HAD AN AWESOME TIME!
I had no idea the Durango would be that good out on the asphalt with my outdoor offroad setup on it! Maybe I'll have to tighten er up some to see if I can catch the VTA guys at the next race. Awesome time guys, maybe I'll see you on Saturday if I don't have to work.

Default Today's races are canceled.

As much as I hate it, it looks like mother nature is taking the win today. Today's races are canceled.
Next weekend is packed with a ton of racing. We kick it off Saturday with round #1 of the Rug Burn series and finish it off with our first ever rally enduro on Sunday. We still have a couple teams open for the event so if you and three of your friends would like to compete call the store to sign up.

Any stock touring cars coming saturday? Looks like it set to be a good day, got a few people dusting off old cars.

Thinking of setting up a 2nd car should I go usgt or mod?
I'd like to go mod I just don't see a lot of them out there.

Thanks

Hooray for finally having a great weather forecast! I'll be there for USGT & VTA. Nathan may join us as well for stock and VTA. Best Father's Day weekend gift is the OK to go racing on Saturday!
