Very good.

It is about time we had something to encourage people to use all the tracks in this country.

I think it would have been even more interesting if a couple of the tracks were circuits though. Maybe in the future? Something to think about maybe.

Great idea, look forward to seeing how it plays out

Dave - a 'One lap of America' kinda thing over here could do that, would be tough to organise though, lol.

Well what with this Anti-Oz car series I'm glad to be off to Oz!!

As Kev says - built in USA only?

Series sounds great.

Tho I dont stand much chance of any success, will need to lop off 1" of me tyres..or tweak the lettering

Sounds great! I have too much tyre at the moment but it's something to think about.

Great idea, I hope to participate, but will be picking up lots of penalties as the car is nowhere near ready yet............

Should be good,as most racers/RWYBers do at least two or three of these events,rumour as it surreymuscle have got more muscle this year.
To win though,I think you will have to do all eight runs,and be consistant,
11 or 12 sec average could win because of the penalties,fantastic.
