"The East Coast Trans Am Shootout”- our approach to the race
- This race is being  designed to be enjoyed by  the average “club racer”.
-  This is not a Cleveland, Snowbirds, Las Vegas IIC   type fast guy /sponsored driver event.  RC sponsor stickers won't be allowed on the cars.  Remember we're looking for cars that look like they raced Trans Am in the late ’60’s.
- We won't announce any sponsors, except those who sponsor the event or make merchandise donations, and you'll hear plenty about them.
- This is a one day race, on what for many is a 3 day weekend (Columbus Day). You can come and race without taking too big of a bite out of vacation / work or family time.
- We run on an indoor, carpet track with a AMB lap counting system.  We do have house transponders , but they're getting a little old and tired, so the use of personal transponders is highly encouraged.
- A new track layout will be set up the week of the race.  It will be relatively fast and open, designed to encourage side- by- side racing and passing.  It will not be a “technical” or “1/12th scale” design.  If the thought of this type of layout bores you….then this probably isn't your kind of race.
- For this race, “Jack the Gripper” will be the only “tire sauce” .  It works and we're trying to save everybody’s sinuses  and what few brain cells we have left.
- We have an active Trans Am class (normally runs on Sunday) and support the U S Vintage Trans Am Association (USVTA). It is our intent to run this event as much as possible , in accordance with the USVTA rules which are in effect as of 15 September 2008 .  Any necessary deviations from those rule will be posted on this thread and at www.rctrack.com by 30 September 2008.
- As of right now, registration will be by “snail mail” (USPS) or in person, no online/Paypal . More on this when the flyer comes out.
- Entries will probably limited to something on the order of 75 -100 racers. We're still seeing how much we can “squeeze in “ to our current  pit spaces.  We've done 75 before, even 150 when hosting the 2000 ROAR Carpet Nationals, but we had to rent space next door to do that.
-Our motto for this event: One Class, One Day, One Champ,
                                              One Heck of a Good Time !
                                                                     Thank you for your attention,
