I am kinda using this thread to speak on the overall series of series so here it goes.
So we are now three months in with this Career in a Year experiment and overall I am quite pleased. Good attendance so far and three different Champions with good racing to be had every week. Thank you to anyone who has attended so far
If you have not made it out yet consider this your invite to check things out one Friday night. And yes it is a points series but it is a really low pressure type deal. No commitments needed, your points are tallied if you show up for all the races or just one. If you understand the basics of track etiquette you will be fine.
The race nights have went smoothly with room opening at 9 eastern and first Q at 9:30. We get through qualifying and two races with and intermission before 11. Our efficiency has felt good to me we get in get the event done but without feeling rushed. Further adding to the efficiency feel is the new way of keeping tabs of points this is definitely easier for the staff here at CiaY allowing us to update the points faster and getting them posted faster as well. We hope that it is as well received on the other side as well.
If anyone out there has questions or suggestions let me know.
Also thought I would share this list I am working off of as a tentative schedule. This way if anyone would like to plan their purchasing better hopefully this will help.

This is not set in stone if PD ever adds something to the game it could shake up the schedule. But this way y'all know what is planned and if there are adjustments that you guys would like to see throw them out there for discussion.
Also Also Wiz has a good idea and I am considering no ABS for some of the future months as the rest of the year is in purpose built race equipment that would likely not have ABS in real life. Certainly this will elicit some responses.
