Hey guys,
The RULES for 2014 and other information has been on the TCS website since Thanksgiving in a PDF. I have updated the websites navigation to reflect what is exactly on the PDF for your easy viewing pleasure.
It should prove easy for all to find and understand.
Also, I apologize for the sign ups not being up. Both the Jan 19 TCS race and Omaha TCS race should be up by Wednesday Jan 15.

Carl- You are in the ballpark. Ran my Mini with 21.5 for the first time last Thursday night. It's definitely faster than a TCS legal silver can, but doesn't have quite the top end poop of a full race Red Dot. Out of the corners, though: very nice torque.
You're gonna like it.

How you you guys fitting the brushless speedo's into an M03? Seems like a lot of finagling to get the thing in the chassis housing.
I had forgotten all about this race, but Manny was nice enough to remind me.

B3's are popular, but has anybody actually run the C-compound tires? Are they in stock at the shop? How much?
As any sedan tire/wheel combo can be used in GT1, GT2, & GT3, don't be fooled thinking all those grey rims are running the same tires! Where are my disk wheels!

Jamie, I used a Tekin and rewired it so everything comes off of the tabs horizontally, then took apart the back end and placed it so the wires come out of the window on the left side. Took some time and some firm foam to make everything fit without rattling around a little but you'll figure it out.
