I'm not real happy about that, as it bones 4 different lightweight builds we had in process for GTL class, and I have mentioned as much to the USCA folks. But that series seems to be all about the TV show and the sponsors now... Which is fine, because they pay for a majority of this series. Just sucks for some of the more serious competitors.

This series has been going "race car" for some time now.... Not saying that is or isn't good - it's just "different" from where it started. Frankly - it pushes the envelope which is good for "us" because the stuff that gets built - trickles down to the masses without classes. LOL
Rules are like herding cats... it's absolutely impossible to contain the competitors. The more rules written - the more people find ways around them.
