Im fairly certain that its the RC3 box so the older stuff works I dont think that the newer 3 wire AMB transponders will work.

Hold the phone. Wait a minute. Stop the presses. We have not seen the likes of the great Skip rock a onroad car in, well, a few years. Hope you can make the events this season. Bring Mitch too, I'm sure he still needs a hair cut.

Snowy.

After a 4 year hiatus of TC racing, making a return to run the series in USGT. Thanks Russ Schacht for the paint!

One month or 4 weekends until the first race on the October 5th. Time to start to think about Carpet racing. Practice on the rug at The Track has been picking up might be time to dust off the carpet cars or blow the outdoor dust off your rides and get them ready for the season.

Looks good Stephen!!

What's a good class to start with? Meaning ...other new people in onroad. I've never done onroad and it looks fun. Thanks in advance!

There is a sportsman class that is for beginner racers that would be a good place to start. After that the "ladder" so to speak would look like this from the bottom to the top.....USVTA then USGT with 17.5 sedan and 13.5 12th Scale on the next step. In my opinion I think that starting out in Sportsman for the series would be a good place to start or USVTA would be a close second as a nice class to start with and get your feet wet so to speak.
