• Qualifying at 4 events.  The local race prior to hosting each regionals will qualify.
• Raindate at the end of the season, just in case...
• Backwards race mid-season!
• 4 night races, same as 2010
• Hosting Route 66 twice and MWSS once
• No conflicts with Route 66 series, RIGP, or NASCAR at Chicagoland

The big party is November 13th at Skydive Chicago. Check out skydivechicago.com for directions.

Final points are here!  We took the two lowest scoring races as drops for everyone.  Tech DQ's are not eligible for drop, though weight and flag DQ's are.  Congrats to ALL the racers that ran this season!

Sept 11 -12 we host the Route 66 Series again.  If you're looking to try regional racing, this is a GREAT series to run with.  As before, we'll have practice open from 10am - 6pm on Friday with reduced pricing for the drivers running the whole weekend.

With the Midwest Sprint Series coming this next weekend, Pit Passes, practice schedule, and Pit spaces are slightly different than normal.

PIT PASSES:

• 1 Day  - $13
• 2 Day  - $20
• 3 Day  - $25
• 3 Day with Friday Practice pass  - $50

RESERVED PIT SPOTS:

• 15x40 pit space  - $35
• RV Spot with electric  - $10/day

Friday Practice open from 10am - 6pm.

This coming Saturday is a night race, and so organized practice begins at 3:30.  We have been asked by some racers to allow practice in the morning as well.  Since we don't have any Group Outings scheduled this time, we can do that.

Open Practice will be 10am - 2pm, for $20.  Any Season Practice Passes will be valid for the morning.

See you then!

I've been wanting to get more Rotax racing here for some time.  It's difficult to get any new class going because nobody wants to be the first to jump in without knowing that others will be there to race against.  I want to push all the Rotax classes up to 'critical mass'.

Backwards practice tomorrow, the 8th, and again on the 15th.

It will be ONLY backwards practice for the day, and there will not be rentals at all.

Normal practice fees apply.  $33 drivers, $13 crew, unless you have a season pass.  All practice passes still apply.

All our barriers are up, and we're ready to go.  Hope to see you here!

'Race it' on Saturday night under the lights forwards for season points, then we 'Reverse it' to run backwards Sunday!

There will be LOTS of TecPro barriers to keep things safe with the different runoff areas, and we'll have to highly modify the grid to keep racers and crew out of the spin-zone, but we've got plans to cover all that.  Add in some cool party plans Saturday night, and we foresee lots of grinnin' and laughin'.  Sunday's race will not count for season points.
