Dave if you can make it to one of the asphalt races run the 4490's there they work fine outside. We just wanted to make RCGT like TA with only 1 tire to keep the cost down and the Pro-Belted tires last a good while on the carpet and sound really cool too....

To clean up the racing. 1-ways lead to more crashes with lack of brakes being used.....there is a reason they are banned from the Reedy Race. If everyone runs full time 4wd the racing will be closer and cleaner. You would be amazed at how much more car control you have with full time 4wd. Try it and see....

The USVTA Greal Lakes Series started last year that ran in IL, WI and IN. This year it will run in conjunction with the Hurricane Series with 2 addition races in Indiana....dates being worked out now. So Trans AM will have 7 total races with 5 races that count towards the standings. Lots of TA racing to be done this winter....

Lately I have been hearing about the lack of clean driving, and i have also been at races where people have complained about guys driving through other guys. Changing to a diff or solid axle spool will put 4 wheel brakes in every car, and will calm the cars down. As it was noted, the Reedy race banned one ways several years ago, and it was a great success.
This is not a change to the official Trans Am rules in any way. This is just for this series as an attempt to make for better racing for everybody. Please give it a chance, I think you will like the results.
If you enjoy clean racing, this should be something that you should try.

USVTA GLSS
As Kevin said, this year's Great Lakes Super Series will be run in conjunction with the Hurricane series. There will be 2 additional non Hurricane races in Indiana to allow those drivers to compete without having to go to Green Bay or Madison, and vice versa. The dates of the races will be close to the GB and Madison races. You may attend any and all races for the Trans AM portion of the series, GLSS or Hurricane.

Still have a long summer ahead before carpet season starts.
Props on getting the rules out so early

That is unfortunate, these races are a blast. I'd throw a spool in the car and let loose. Seems a shame to miss the races but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Last winter was my first full season of carpet racing and I am definitely looking forward to the series. Hopefully we'll get some good F1 & WGT turnouts.

Well its that time of the year again....
The only class these points will not be the same for will be for Trans AM…..This year the Hurricane All-Star Carpet Series will be run in conjunction with the USVTA Great Lakes Series. The USVTA GLS will have 7 total races with 5 races counting towards its point’s total. There will be two races in addition to the 5 regular Hurricane Series races ...1 additional race in November and 1 in January. The last USVTA GLS race will be the last All-Star Carpet Series race so awards will be handed out then. This also gives everyone in Trans AM an opportunity to make up a bad performance or a missed date at one of the additional races.

The rules will be the same as the Hurricane series. Like Rob posted its going to run along with the Hurricane series there will just be two extra races. A full listing of the two additional races will be posted once the dates are confirmed.

Which rules should one follow to get their car ready, 1)The Hurricane rules, or 2) The rules posted on the USVTA web-site?I am not opposed to following the rules, and agree to change my car to meet the rules that have been set, all I ask is that the rules for each series are the same. The USVTA rules don't say no one-ways. Shouldn't someone look into this? Or does the GLS mean it is something different than USVTA
