Front splitter side skirts so on are allowed. But are not removable for part of the event. Must run splitters in all portions.

The rules seem very fair. I just hope they can keep the priority on the vintage cars since they now have 4 classes. Without making it a vintage only race which has much too small of a draw and with the corvettes having an aero and weight advantage I would think the fastest class will get the most attention. But we shall see, Watching new cars race around the track does not spark the interest that the vintage cars will so this might help to continue to spark more interest in vintage cars and Pro-touring.

They can just call it the Danny Popp rule. I think he ran a diff version of his splitter for the AutoX and roadcourse?

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.

Also, I would think the factory Porsche GT3s would have the aero advantage this year.

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