Livery Rules

Numbers will be assigned on a first come first served basis. An unlocked design containing the required number boxes will be distributed to all entrants. You will then have to add your number to the boxes already located on the car. For this season we encourage entrants to choose fake companies from TV and movies as sponsors. Examples: Binford Tools, Callahan Auto Parts, Mom Corp, Bluth Company, etc, etc. If you don't have any just ask, i'm happy to share anything i have created. Sorry for all of the specific livery rules. I feel that having these rules will give the series something special and make a real life racing league feel. If you have questions on what your car should look like, just look up pictures of previous series. If the livery rules are not followed, you will still be allowed to participate.

I u/SlowMotionFire will gift spec cars to anyone who asks for one, they will feature the correct upgrades and number boxes. I will also gift this seasons number boxes to all participants.

Schedule

All race weeks will last a little over an hour. Week 1-4 will consist of three races, all running roughly 15-20 minutes each. The final week will be a 1 hour endurance race. All Race Sessions will begin at 7:00 pm CST on Tuesday nights The format for each night will contain a qualifying session followed by the race at that track. Qualifying times will be sorted by clean times first then dirty times. The race will start with a parade lap allowing drivers to get into the correct starting sports. The race will have a rolling start 50mph or less, and starts when the leader crosses the start/finish line. Penalties (tbd) will be given to anyone who jumps a start. The endurance race will be run on drag slicks and require 1 pit stop.
