Shaping up to be a great series, lots of $ for only 10 races

I think only 7 of the 10 count towards points

It will be interesting to see what racers travel to events that they normally wouldn't go to.

The way I understand it is each driver will use their top 7 towards the final points. If a driver runs all 10 races they can drop 3 races. If a driver only runs 7 or less races they can't drop any.

Also by the way the press release sounds, to me it sounds like the points fund is based on the series completing 7 races.

I like the idea of Tues-Thursday nites! I hope it works out great!

Impressive payouts!

Once again I predict my FLO subscription will be going up at renewal time lol. Oh well, it’s a good bang for the buck, hooray for capitalism.

I love it! It was fun to be able to watch a midweek race on flo last year. I used to love Thursday night thunder with the USAC migjets.

Almost makes you wonder if this mini series works out for the tracks that are involved will they expand it some to maybe 12-14 tracks next year if other tracks are willing and wanting race dates.

Some interesting aspects pop up in my feeble mind. Are any sanctioning bodies reaching out to the series to align with them? Is this part of an ongoing trend of more virtual viewers and less in-person viewers? Will other streaming services expand to include more mid week events? I for one am looking forward to super late models at Marshalltown. Matt Curl seems to be a resourceful guy, interesting to see what develops from this.

I'm very interested in this as well. Now would be a good time to post them. I see Ray Cook is tech director.

I think it will be interesting. It seems like quite a few drivers would like it. However, the guys from central Illinois have a MARS race the first week-end close to home, so it wouldn't make sense for any of them to travel to Tennessee.
