This point series for the 11.50 Index class will be contested over 5 events between Old Bridge Township Raceway Park and Atco Raceway. Only the best 4 races will count towards each drivers cumulative points. The racers will be competing for a guaranteed event payout in addition to bragging rights and a year end championship purse courtesy of the series sponsors.

We are truly happy to announce that Xenocron Tuning Solutions has come on board as a sponsor for the 11.50 index points series chase.

Looking forward to another great year of racing in the northeast!

We are extremely pleased to be able help those grassroots racers that like the thrill of heads up racing!

 

bumpp lets get this 11.50 index with a full 16 car class!! Keep the sport alive! Bump for Chris for supporting the 11.50 index!!!!

 

Chris much do respect this will give alot of the younger guys some incentive to actually push there cars. We just have to do something about the sandbaggers.

 

damn now this is awesome!

props to you guys for doing this

 

great idea -- after my NSCRA index class experience i really see this as the wave of the future, and i it just so happens that i have a car that can potentially kill it in 11.5 index

 

^ lets head north!!!

Marc P

 

OGS killing it once again. Great job guys

 

can the 10.5 class get some love lol

 

Great job Xenocron to supporting the racers ! ! ! !

Another great series for us to follow in the North east !

We will definitely have a car from the RSTECH crew gunning for this championship!

 

This is all nice n dandy but the playing field still ain't level

Props to xenocron. This is an awesome idea.

 

Thank you Jake for helping get this setup as well.

Power, I think this year if a lot of guys really learn how to setup their cars for the index classes and have some fun, the 10.50 class will get it's love as well. Last year the 11.50 index classes were packed at OGS events, so hopefully those guys with cages and slightly faster cars will step it up and then eventually progress into the faster heads up classes.

It's all about growing the sport!

 

Maybe 2

 

This is great... Big thanks to OGS and Xenocron for putting on this series. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the lanes this year!

 

Exactly why my business is with Xenocron, nothing but support and love to those that need help the most!! Might have to be a contender this year for a few races since the cage won't be done at first...

Thanks Chris and OGS, the sport wouldn't be where it is today without people like you!!

 

So when does this fee get paid? and to who?

 

Wow....

No excuses.

 

I believe to OGS, at the first race this year.

 

thats whats up

 

 

Good stuff! I like the fact that you get points for Qualifying position!

 

fine ill try and be the king of the 10.50 class and pay to call it BEAT ME POWER class lol

 

Go get it Rob. How many events did you win last year in the 11.5 class? HAHA

 

^ is gonna win this class.

Sorry Pete not trying to put any pressure on you or anything lol

 

Oh Snapsssss!!!
