I was hoping you would have a big show… count me in… I have been trying to make it out, but Sundays booked... Wife has a baby-shower to attend. WTF. Who cares if it is not mine!!! She did not like that response.:wave:

Brandon

Bob you have pm
Brandon

wish I could make this one as well...got local points race..

There are at least two of us planning on coming down from Grand Rapids MI. The pics in the other thread look great! Quick question....

Is there readily available power?


Thanks!

Mike Slaughter

Sorry, no power supplied. Many have generators, and many bring a deep cycle battery, and many charge right from their car. Looking foward to having you come.

No problem, I will bring my Honda EU2000i and can help out with power.

Thanks,

Mike Slaughter

count me in :woohoo::woohoo:

So in addition to the free hot dogs, I'm thinking about grabbing a few bags of chips, maybe some potato salad? Any ideas on what you boys want to eat?

Breasts and thighs :wave:

That wasn't very helpful Scobie. =[

Think about making a trip up there from MI. I was just wondering what tires do you run down there for 13.5 rubber tire sedan?

most racers run jaco blues or green. i think blue is better for hobbytown

So, how many hotdogs do I need to get? Indy, as the names come in, would you make our list?

Rockin Bob VTA
Indy VTA
Indy Mini
Indy 13.5
Lugnutz VTA
Lugnutz 13.5
....

I'm in for Cooper! :thumbsup:

And perhaps Hustler for VTA

Sorry, no can do... will be attending to other business out of state... -Sean

I watched the video. That was cool. I think race fans, onlookers, people that come to watch, enjoy the appearance of the real sports car bodies better than the R9R, R9F, etc bodies of the regular touring cars. When they see something that looks like a real car, they are able to relate better to what they're seeing and may be more amicable to want to own and drive one. That means more racers at the track.
I have a "Vanquish" body from 8 years ago that I'm setting up to drive this Sunday. Gotta get the HPI X pattern radials for it. I think this would be a great class for the parking lot racing.
So for the trophy race, if you guys want to bring some RCGT cars out and we don't get enough entries in 13.5 Pro Stock and RCGT, if the speeds and ability are close enough, they could be run together and scored separatly. There is an extra set of trophys set aside for 1/18 that may not be used.

I'll be there Bob. Count me in for VTA and probably Mini Cooper. I can also have an 1/18 to race as long as rules are "open".

il be there with vta and pro stock,

Rockie should be in for VTA with a fresh TC5. :thumbsup:

lol yep count me in for vta and mini cooper

by the way thank you so much mister cobb

Will be there for Mini Cooper and VTA unless something comes up.

I will be down there do you have a novice for VTA my wife would like to run. Iwill be running 13.5. Weather permitting.

Is there going to be any tech?

:rolleyes: only for those that feel the need to ask :wave:

Looks like I'll probly do VTA as well

Damn, now I'm starting to post like Crptracer :freak:

Let's just say some people might take advantage of the relaxed environment ;)

I'll be putting my car about 350 g overweight so when I hit the track dots I can hopefully push them out of the way instead of doing a double-roll over them.

I'm sure Bob Cordell will give some officical answers to the most recent questions. However, from what I understand here are a few responses.

Will there be a Novice VTA class? That's an interesting question. We do have a number of newer VTA racers that probably could be split into their own heat. Let's see what Bob has to say, but at a minimum we have seen novice VTA racers in the novice class do well.

Will there be tech?
- Yes, there will be tech for the trophy race. Ride height isn't as much of an issue with most cars, but all other rules for each class will need to be adhered to. For example, VTA is a Novak 21.5 motor with a max 4.2 FDR and a minimum weight of 1450grams. ]

Here are links to rules for each of the "spec" classes:
VTA Class (http://www.usvintagetransam.com/rules/index.html)
Tamiya Mini Coooper (http://www.tamiyausa.com/tcs/rules.php#)
RCGT Class (http://www.hpiracing.com/rcgt/)

This Sunday we will be running a loose tech, so it will be a good opportunity to sort out any issues with weight/ride height, etc. I have a few pieces of spare weight should anyone need any to make their cars legal.

I've already asked Indy to help me with tech trophy day. The main items are correct equipment, and weight.
I have 4 sets of trophys. Novice or anything else, 3 preferably 4 make a class. I'm awarding trophys to 4 classes.

You can add me to TC Pro stock as well!

Thanks,

Mike Slaughter
I'll throw in for TC Pro too since I'll be tagging along with Mike.

Bill DeRuiter

You can add me to TC Pro stock as well!

Thanks,

Mike Slaughter

Add me in for TC Pro Stock too!

Sign me up for RCGT :thumbsup:

I hate to be "that guy" but..... Will we be using the ROAR '09 weight for TC pro or the deviation weight that is being used at the nats? Unfortunately my car requires rather significant changes (due to my own obsessive issues) between the two weights so I would rather be a bit ahead of the game either way. ;)

Deviation = 1420 grams
Standard = 1500 grams

Not that I am biased or anything, but mine is set up for the deviation weight. :rolleyes:

Mike Slaughter

Just my $0.02

History shows Deviations for Nats ussually are followed by rule changes, so I'd expect the 1420g weight to be the norm in the future.

So I vote 1420

Sure, 1420 will be fine. I was surprized that RCGT is 1400, so 1420 for Pro Stock will be fine.

I've updated the roll-call as of Friday morning. I will get some confirmation from more of the racers with question marks next to their name. So far VTA looks like it may have 20+ cars!!. Mini Cooper will probably have 10 (or more).

If someone has a set of the HPI X-tires I could borrow, I could more than likely run the RCGT class, also.

Are you ready for Sunday Sept 13?

nice, really like the gt 40

That poor "Crash Cab" looks like it's been around the block a time or two.
They look swaweeeeeet!

Some things to get you settled when you get to the track:
When you get to the store's parking lot, we're between Half Price Books, and Golf Galaxy in a strip center. Very nice one, Dave and Buster's is on the other side of us for food and games. We want to be considerate of the shops whose asplalt parking lot we enjoy. When you set up your pits, my tent is on one side of the track with my speakers pointing to the other side of the track, both being pointed away from the stores. Set your pits up close to the street you turned in on, away from the stores, so they can sell something. Bottom line if you don't get that bunch of ...., keep far from the stores, close to the track. Thank you for your support!

Looks to be a wonderful turnout of some fun lovin' competitors.

Hi Bob this is Happy Jack want to let you know that Cody and I will be there sunday for vta.
