TAG™ USA - NEWS

For Immediate Release: Effective Jan. 25, 2008

TAG™ USA has just released the 2008 rules, which brings us to a position that requires some explanation as to why the Vortex TT engine has been left TBA. We have been looking at the past results from major races around the country and along with the feed back from some of the competitors and membership feel that we need to revaluate the engine. The engine that TAG™ USA first set up must and will be compared to another engine to see if changes have been made, we will be looking at every aspect to make any changes that we feel necessary to gain parity.

TAG™ USA will share this information with the other organizations and work together as a team to make sure the competitor has an even playing field as much as possible. This test and evaluation will take place as soon as possible and TAG™ USA will have rules and spec’s pertaining to the Vortex TT out very soon so competitors can get the year moving forward. Stay tuned for further information regarding this engine.

Thank you
