Together they cover the majority of the Midwest and some of the best talent in Carpet On-Road racing.<\/p>\n<p>The Hurricane Series is best 4 out of 5 covering some favorite local tracks in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana.  I contested the season in 1\/12th Stock, the season started slow as I was devloping a stock set-up for the relatively new Serpent S-120 link.  The season picked up from there with a near TQ and 2nd place at the 2nd stop, then TQ and win at the 3rd and 5th stops. Ended the season winning the 1\/12 Stock class.  I also dabbled a little in Mini Cooper and Rubber Touring in a couple of the races.  Through it all, from the Tekin FX in the Cooper, to the RS in the 1\/12 and RS-Pro in the touring, I never suffered from a lack of Power.<\/p>\n<p>The Midwest Grandslam series is a best 3 out of 4 series, covering Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.  This series tries to provide the average racer with the Big Race experience with a low key atmosphere.  From the Halloween Classic which is a warm up for the US Champs to the late Feburary race which is a great warm up for Carpet Nats, this series sees some of the Country&#8217;s and even the World&#8217;s best racers with entries from at least half a dozen National Champs and World Class drivers.  I competed in both 1\/12th Stock and World GT, while also coordianting the series.  It was a tough field of top level stock drivers in 1\/12th with Associated&#8217;s Joe Trandell piloting his Tekin RS equip&#8217;d ride to a commanding Win and myself knocking on his back bumper at each turn for a 2nd place for the season, in all at least the top 8 were all running Tekin RS.  In World GT, again it was Joe with nearly a perfect season and the 2nd place came down to the last, tied for second I got the better qualifing spot but Rich Martsolf drove a better main and bested me for 2nd and I settled for 3rd.  Again nearly the entire field was Tekin equip&#8217;d.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-XzFdgstdX5I\/TXfYunw61SI\/AAAAAAAAAJ4\/MhX7F5rweUs\/s1600\/100_0082.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\"><span><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-XzFdgstdX5I\/TXfYunw61SI\/AAAAAAAAAJ4\/MhX7F5rweUs\/s400\/100_0082.jpg\" width=\"300\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div><span><br \/><\/span> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hurricane All Star Seires and The Midwest Grandslam Series are each carpet on-road, multi leg, traveling series allowing 1 drop each.
