This is a pretty big change as well no?

I think Cam and Jimmy did a good job given all the discussion after this year's event. I wonder if Brian Hobaugh's vette rear spoiler is within spec? Also given that the first event is a couple months away, those that were building a car for the 2014 rule set may need to get humping to make some changes. I'm referring to those guys between 3000 and 3199 lbs.

But WTH do I know. I'll keep my eyes open for a Good Aero wing in the classifieds. :lmao:

Ron ... the drivers just need eat more cheeseburgers & pizza. :)

My hats is off to the USCA guys & gals. They created great events people flocked to, listened to the participants, made classes for different levels of cars, got the aerodynamics in hand, improved safety & continue to make this series better.

If you haven't looked, see the new rules HERE.

Arg!!! First Im hit by the SCCA and their 108" wheelbase rule and now USCA and their 3200lb rule. At least this isnt such a stretch :mock: to fix. I assume ballast weight is allowed. I should only have to put the rear seat and subwoofer back in and have a full tank of gas. Im at 3150 without them and a 1/2 tank.

I like the new rules and classes. It should keep things fun and guarantees a place for the pro-touring/older cars to be competitive.

The D&E rules are interesting:

I wonder what style door bars you can have and still get points for "driver and passenger ease of ingress and egress"

This should be fun.

Can you advise the advantage of being in the over 3,200 pound class?

what's the weight of all the heavy hitters In the now vintage class? I would think all the gen II Camaros with full cages would be over 3,200.

I could see going against the 2-seaters with a pony car would be a loosing battle in the 2014 sub 3,000 pound class, but it looks like the two seaters are in a separate class for 2015.

Edit: just re-read the classes, 2-seater class is 1990 and newer.

I'm thinking the GTL class is going to be the one to watch in the next couple of years. No kit cars but lil featherweights with tires and hp...shut the front door!
Craig510's lil monster along with V8 imports will be a hoot to watch, the CanAm of OUSCA!

I'm liking the rules,:thumbsup: still don't think 1989 is the proper cutoff but it's not my show and I'll continue to support the series.
