Physically I am home, but mentally ...
Fantastic weekend! Great competition and even better people in the pits. Answers to any type of car setup or driving advice was always available from all of the competitors. Want to know what the TQ guy was running? Just ask cause he'll tell you! All the locals guys are more than happy to give you fantastic advice on how to wheel around their track. I don't even know what else to say, except thanks to Erich and RCHR for putting on a great event.
Oh yah, winning a Tamiya kit was pretty darn cool too!

Re: 2011 CAR ACTION VINTAGE OFFROAD NATIONALS • SEPT 15-18TH
Hey guys,
Thanks to all that participated in this event, it was truly the best one yet, the competition was fierce yet we had a great time exchanging stories and advise.....
Hopefully we can get more of the 10talk members to show up, it would've been nice to have Mr. Lexan, Hoopty, Scr8p, Civilguy Reign79....etc, etc....
The Classics Class was insane, box stock, short armed RC10s didn't have and advantage over the other cars, so that should be a mainstay rule, leave classics as is.
Heavy Metal was a blast to watch, with John serving as the equalizer with his Clod, cutting the track, chasing after smaller trucks, it was awesome....
2wd, WOAH!!! Some of the cleanest and intense racing that I have seen in a while, let's just say that the top 6 guys, were off by seconds, Tim Covell put on a clinic with his Associated Team Car, he was deadly consistent. It was so close that a little mistake could set you back 3 to 4 positions....that's good racing.
Let's make next years VONATs the biggest one yet....
