That's what's up

 

Hopefully I can have my car ready to actually try and compete in this series

 

what happen with atco??

 

how come the 11.50 index is not being ran at atco for point series??

 

There will still be events at Atco with the 11.50 index. It's easier for the 11.50 racers to focus their efforts on those three races.

This is a completely nonsensical answer.

What is the reason that the Point Series is 5 races for Pro-Stock but only 3 for the 11.50 Index.

You have indicated above that the 11.50 Index class will still run at Atco, so why isn't it being included as part of the Points Series?

If anything, the 11.50 Index Class being an "entry level" heads up class should mean that it is run at all 5 events, therefore affording the most exposure and learning experiences to the newer racers.

 

At Honda Day, only hondas can run, where at the National Events, you can get any sport compact in there. It would be difficult to have a points series where every make wasnt included in every race.

 

When and where to sign up?

 

Sounds like a cool class.

 

Wish it wasn't so far away! Would be an awesome series!

 

This was an awesome series last year... top 3 cars finished within 3 points at the end. Competition is getting better every year!!
