USVTA Vintage R/C Racing - Getting more popular

Photobucket



What can I say, The Vintage Trans Am Class. What a interesting racing class. If you are new, or like myself and just returning to the track after a little while and kinda rusty on the carpet, this is the class for you. It's a little slower than touring sedan and has a few variations on the rules for car specifications. Such as body type, and what motor and battery combination's your allowed to run. It also is required you run a vintage type style rim and tire by such like HPI Racing. This past weekend at my local track was the 2011 Mid-Canada R/C Auto Racing Cabin Fever Event. It was a 3 days event full of all class's including the Vintage Trans Am Class. The turn out was great, and after seeing the class a couple weeks back, I knew I had to run in the Trans Am class for this event. I finished mid-field in the main and I was very humble to the fact that this was my first "Trans Am" race. Trust me, if you don't have this class at your local track you should sign up for it. I met fellow driver's in the class experienced and new. We all had a blast because the lap times and space between us was so close, it really boiled down to driving skill. It's an all around perfect scale appeal for on-road racing. You have to give it a try.
