The event has become more popular over the last few years, with entry count going over the 400 mark, this year reaching 496, just a few shy of 500. Reigning USVTA National Champion Adam Hutchinson took TQ in the opening two USVTA qualifiers while round 3 belonged to Myron Kinnard. Q4 again went toMyron and Sunday, main event day he knew he needed to pull away before the first corner, and with a slight adjustment in his normal drive line, he was able to do so. Clean start and another 20/5:01 with 98% insured the Championship that he lost last year by less than 0.082 would not be a repeat.Myron turned in three identical runs back to back to back to finally take home the USIC VTA title with TQ. With two of his teammates right behind me making it a clean sweep for Team Associated with Tom second and Will third.
