ARLA Tornado Alley Truck Series *Season complete!*

Permission from Cynon and Ceej.



ARLA's #2 division returns as an actual league.

The ARLA Tornado Alley Truck Series, named after its abundance of races in the "tornado alley" region of the United States, is seen as an attractive starting point for teams and drivers who can't quite afford to field a team in the Elite Series. There are a few Elite Series teams that field cars in this series, but most of the grid is made up of unknown names working with tiny budgets.

Saar is providing the only chassis for this season; the Nebraska model, seen below.



You can get the template right here at this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?bj1be1kphb0vpm8

There are going to be 22 cars on the grid.

Schedule:

1. Saar 80 @ The Milwaukee Mile
2. ARLA Grundy County 100 @ Grundy County Speedway
3. Topeka 35 @ Heartland Park
4. Zoopy Juice 100 @ I-70 Speedway
5. Madhouse 100 @ Bowman-Gray Stadium
6. Joe Tree and Lawn Care Dirt Race @ Omaha Dirt Complex
7. Windy City Madness @ Peoria Motor Speedway
8. Ohio 125 @ Mansfield Motorsports Speedway
9. Hugger Oranges 100 @ Tampa Bay Raceway
10. ARLA Flat Rock 100 @ Flat Rock Speedway
11. The Hallett Hoedown @ Hallett Road Course
12. Johnny Boy's Famous Corn 100 @ Iowa Speedway
13. Rockford 100 @ Rockford Speedway

Team Chart is up at TMPedia: http://tmpedia.wikkii.com/wiki/2012_ARLA_Tornado_Alley_Truck_Series_Season

The ratings system will be the same as the TM Lights; so make sure you head over to its thread for more information!

(OOC: Thanks for the description Ceej!)

Fixed!

What ratings format do we use?

TM Lights

This sounds interesting. Just one question; why is Saar the only manufacturer?

Laziness.

what happened to the templates that were gonna be used in the Thunder Trucks? What if entries being painted by the users use other templates?

It's similar to the TM Lights, where one chassis is allowed this season. Now, I could have thrown together a Lycoia template, I would have, but I didn't.
