2008/09 USVTA Great Lakes Super Series

This winter a four race series will be held for Trans-Am cars, under full USVTA rules and sanction. This will be a one drop with 3 races counting format. We will have "team" racing as well (explained below). There will be awards for the top 15 finishers and special prizes at the end of the series. Race fee will be $20 per race. Final dates will be announced soon.

Tracks------

November 9- Michiana RC Raceway--Mishawaka, IN

*Le Mans style heads up starts
*Racing will be held in conjunction with the track's regular weekend race day. This may be Saturday or Sunday depending on the track.
Points-
*100pts. for a win, and down from there, 99 2nd, 98 3rd, etc.

*2 point bonus for making all 4 races
TEAM Racing

Just out of curiosity. How much distance is between those tracks? I am 7 plus hours from all of it, but it sure sounds like fun.

I'd LOVE to see this class at 360 Speedway... I've seen one or two guys with Vintage TA cars at the track, but never enough to run a class. I might just have to do up a Vintage body and have a set of tires ready to go...

Can't wait! I know where at least three of my race weekends will be this winter. February... not so much.

Time to start planning the Concours entries.

Well, if I don't want to wake up with a fork stuck in my neck, I won't be planning many races in January, February and March.

I dunno, Doug... I've learned over the years to ALWAYS sleep with one eye open...

Glad to see this come together! After the Nationals this spring, it's great to see this continue to grow!

I have a TC3 I might consider not selling if USVTA started. I have loads of 27 turns and 4 cell packs.
