As for 2012, a couple of changes will occur with both series.

The series has already been working on the 2012 schedule and will have it released at the banquet on January 14th. It will have around 10-15 races for next season.
As for the STARS Volunteer Racing Series, the name will be changed to the Volunteer STARS Racing Series. Each series will co-sanction several events in 2012 with the Bluegrass STARS Racing Series and the Southern Regional Racing Series and the 2012 schedule is almost complete and will be released at the January 7th awards banquet. The series will have around 15 or so races for next season.
Each series will have most of the same rules. Body rules and weight/engine rules will be the same as well as the tire rule which will be changing for 2012 and will be released in an upcoming announcement. Also, on both tours, all points races will count towards the final championship points, NO dropped races will be allowed for next season.
‘I hadn’t totally made my mind up for next season what I was going to do, but after talking with several people I decided these racers and tracks need a small regional series to go racing with and we’ll do what we can to keep it going for years to come’ stated Series President Chris Tilley. ‘We will be announcing the points fund for each series which will pay five spots at each banquet coming up. I want to thank the drivers from each track we visited and each of the track’s, promoters, their staff and most of all the fans for letting us come in to visit a couple of times a year’ stated Tilley again.
