This is called the "Spirit of VTA" Rule. The class is based on slower, equal playing field competition with less traction, minimal aerodynamic aids and mostly older carpet racing technology. The final objective is close, fair, wheel-to-wheel racing for all. All decisions of the race promoter or track owner are final. Participants at Indy Slots  are also strongly encouraged to use their own AMB compatable transponders and must Marshall races after racing in their heats. Driver's are responsible for their actions at all times as well as those in their party. Common sence will apply at all times and the Race Director will have ultimate responsibility in determining what is fair and legal in all classes. The goal is to keep the racing at Indy Slots as competitive and fun as possible. We look forward to your participation and ask for your support in achieving our goals. We Have other Classes at Indy Slots also, so please check the "rules page" often for rule updates on other classes not mentioned yet. Pictures courtesy of Tom Johnson, Houston Thomas, & Misty Shearer
