Hello everyone,

Sorry for the extremely late news concerning the final TLAC event, I had a family emergency on Friday that lasted through Monday of this week!

The TLAC Board has decided that the 2009 TLAC Series will end with 3 events, there will be no 4th event, the Pro, Ladies and Formula Junior Challenges will be reduced to a best 2 out of 3 events. RRR Region will retain their club and individual member points in the series based on good faith that they did their best to obtain a suitable site to hold their event. The points will be re-calculated as stated above.  The Club, Challenge and Class Champions trophy winners will be named. It was a tough decision for the board to make, but majority vote was to end their year as stated and regroup and plan for next year as soon as possible.

An announcement will be made before the end of the year for the 2010 TLAC planning meeting to discuss the preceding rules and proposed rule changes for the next racing season. As always all TLAC participants are encouraged to attend the meeting to support their representatives.

Thanks to all the club members that competed and volunteered this year to make TLAC the best it could be.  Without you and others, this series is nothing!

Thank You for reading this post and have a great day!

Damon Cuccia
TLAC Series Chairman

TLAC 3 proved to be a weather challenged weekend.  Ken Orgeron threw on his Dunlop Star Spec tires and pulled out the win in the PRO challenge.  PRO challenge points leader Jeff Schaadt came in second and Stefan Waller took third in the Pro Challenge at TLAC 3.  Roberta Wetzel drove her Honda S2000 to Top Spot in the TLAC 3 Ladies Challenge.  Connie Booker and Jean Schaadt took second and third place, respectively.

On the club front, the host region Delta roared back into first place in TLAC club points by taking 1,669.296 points at TLAC 3.  Red River dropped to second in the TLAC club points by earning 934.789.  SOWELA added 561.408 points and Cenla added 453.803 points to their club totals at TLAC 3.

Gregory Nunez took BS with a 38.871.  James Jumonville took CS uncontested with a 40.639 and Brandi Nunez took CSL uncontested with a 43.133.  In ES, Mark Perkins’ 39.612 won over Brandon Travasos’ 43.553.

The 2009 TLAC season is three fourths done, or possibly done for the year as Red River Region is still siteless.  Jeff Schaadt has locked in the 2009 PRO Challenge Championship with a total after 3 events of 299.672.  Connie Booker is in the lead of the 2009 Ladies Challenge, however, Jean Schaadt or Roberta Wetzel could win it with a good showing at TLAC 4.  Narby Bennett has locked in the 2009 FORMULA JUNIOR Challenge championship with over a 100 point lead on the rest of the challengers.
