Registration closed. Chuyler1's private lobby opens for first race at 9:30 EDT on Wednesday.
Objective)
Purchase a cheap car that has 375 performance points or less and show up to the first race. After each race, points are awarded based on placement and totaled at the end of the series to determine the winner. Extra credits are awarded to spend on your car as well. The loser gets the most credits to improve their car while the winner gets the least. The goal is to rotate out leaders by giving underdogs a little more to spend on their cars. Run what you brung and hope for the best finish each week. Pit strategy and accident avoidance will play a key role. Prize cars will be awarded at the end of the series to the top performers.
