Default 2008 GTS Challenge

The 2008 schedule for GTS Challenge has been posted on our website. http://www.gtschallenge.com Just go to the region section and then pick the region you are interested in. The website is undergoing some enhancements, so all links may not work.

GTS has been the fstest growing amateur race series in the country. In just a few short years it has become NASA largest series with over 300 entrants nationwide.

We now have great sponsor contingencies for everything from tires to oil. If you're looking for great competition and plenty of track time, come give us a try!

Feel free to email me with any questions. mark@gtschallenge.com

Last year was the most fun I have ever had in a race car. I'm really looking forward to this season.
The formula for GTS is great and the competition is usually within an arms reach. We finished a race last year with 3 cars finsihing within 1 second of another.

Kuhmo tires $300 win, $200 secon $100 third
Hoosier 2 tires for a win and one tire for 2nd
hankook and Toyo similar to Kuhmo

CDOC, Carbotech, etc...
I believe the details can be found at NASA's web page. The Kumho details and forms are on the GTS site http://www.gtschallenge.com/kumho.pdf and http://www.gtschallenge.com/kumho2.pdf

I'm building a s4 car as we speak. Can't wait until it's finished! Had a great time with NASA last year.

For those who like the GTS formula there will be is a NASA coming up at Miller motorsports park in Utah. There will be a large 944 crowd and the local PCA race crowd is descent sized.

Miller is worth the tow.

No need for that, I hear s5 or even s3 is much better

Just kidding. We need more cars!

Although GTSU is still in some registration forms and on the website, it was announced on NASAForums that there is no longer a GTSU.

Quick update about contingencies:

Hoosier now gives two tires to winners and 1 tie for second place for any GTS race. If you win sat and Sun, you go home with a set of new Hoosiers!

Aren't there some stipulations...have to be running hoosiers at the time during the race and buying them from certain dealers?? Certain number of cars in class, etc?

must be running hoosiers, decals oncars, patch on suit, and 4 or 5 cars in class. This is a Hoosier deal for all of GTS, not a certain dealer deal.
